Semi Refined Paraffin Wax
Semi Refined Paraffin Wax is a purified hydrocarbon wax derived from petroleum refining. It is characterized by its semi-refined nature, meaning it retains some impurities compared to fully refined waxes, but still meets industrial quality standards. This wax is solid at room temperature with a moderate melting point and is widely used in various industries due to its excellent moisture barrier properties, plasticity, and chemical inertness. It serves as a key raw material in candles, packaging, cosmetics, and coating formulations.
Snow White Microwax
Snow White Microwax is a refined, high-purity microcrystalline wax with a bright white color and fine crystalline structure. It is derived from petroleum and modified to enhance flexibility, adhesion, and water resistance. This wax is widely used in industries requiring a blend of hardness and elasticity, along with excellent binding and coating properties. Its low odor and neutral pH make it suitable for sensitive applications, including cosmetics and food packaging.
Stearic Acid
Stearic Acid is a saturated long-chain fatty acid, appearing as a white, waxy solid with a mild, characteristic odor. It is a naturally occurring substance found in animal and vegetable fats and oils. As one of the most common fatty acids, it is a fundamental building block in the manufacture of a vast array of consumer and industrial products. Its key functions include use as a lubricant, softener, thickener, and emulsifier, making it an indispensable ingredient in industries ranging from plastics and rubber to cosmetics and food.
