Semi Refined Paraffin Wax

Whatsapp Order

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.

Polyglyceryl

Polyglyceryl refers to a family of non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers made by the polymerization of glycerol units. Depending on the number of glycerol units (e.g., Polyglyceryl-2, -3, -6, -10) and fatty acid esterification (e.g., laurate, oleate, stearate), they offer different emulsifying and solubilizing properties. These compounds are biodegradable, mild, and skin-friendly, making them ideal for use in cosmetics, food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. Polyglyceryl esters are often chosen in natural and organic product formulations due to their origin and non-toxic profile.
