Apricot wax
KSh0.01
Apricot wax refers to a natural wax derived from the fruit kernel (seed) of the apricot tree, scientifically known as Prunus armeniaca. It is obtained through a process of cold-pressing or solvent extraction of the kernel, followed by purification and filtration.
Apricot wax is characterized by its pale yellow to light brown color and a solid, waxy consistency at room temperature. It contains various beneficial components, such as fatty acids, triglycerides, and esters, which contribute to its unique properties.
Due to its emollient and moisturizing qualities, apricot wax is commonly used in the cosmetic and personal care industry as an ingredient in skincare products, lip balms, creams, lotions, and hair care formulations. It helps to nourish and soften the skin, enhance product texture, provide a protective barrier, and improve the overall sensory experience.
Apricot wax is preferred by some individuals and manufacturers due to its natural origin, as it is obtained from a fruit source and does not require chemical processing. Its use aligns with the growing demand for natural and sustainable ingredients in various consumer products.

Petroleum Resin C9 Hydrocarbon 25 kg Bag
Petroleum resin C9 hydrocarbon, also known as C9 hydrocarbon resin or simply C9 resin, is a type of thermoplastic resin that is derived from the distillation of petroleum products. It is composed primarily of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, and is typically produced by the polymerization of C9 fraction of petroleum, which is obtained by the distillation of crude oil.
C9 hydrocarbon resin is a highly versatile material that finds use in a wide range of industrial applications, including adhesives, coatings, printing inks, rubber compounding, and more. It is valued for its excellent solubility, compatibility with other resins, and ability to enhance the properties of other materials, such as adhesion, tack, and flexibility.
In summary, petroleum resin C9 hydrocarbon is a type of polymer derived from petroleum that is widely used in various industries for its unique properties and compatibility with other materials

Stearic Acid (Triple Pressed) 25kg
Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula C18H36O2. It is a solid, waxy substance that is odorless and tasteless. Stearic acid is commonly found in natural fats and oils, such as animal fats (beef, pork, and chicken) and vegetable oils (such as coconut oil, palm oil, and shea butter).
Stearic acid is widely used in various industries and applications. In the food industry, it serves as a food additive and is commonly used as a thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer. It can be found in a variety of food products, including baked goods, confectionery, margarine, and chocolate.
Outside of the food industry, stearic acid has many applications. It is used in the production of candles, cosmetics, soaps, detergents, and lubricants. It is also utilized as a coating for pills and tablets in the pharmaceutical industry.
From a chemical perspective, stearic acid belongs to the class of fatty acids, which are long-chain carboxylic acids. It is called a saturated fatty acid because its carbon chain is fully saturated with hydrogen atoms, meaning it does not contain any carbon-carbon double bonds. This saturation gives stearic acid its solid form at room temperature and makes it less prone to rancidity compared to unsaturated fats.
Overall, stearic acid is a versatile compound with various industrial applications, primarily as a thickener, emulsifier, stabilizer, and lubricant.
White oil 162kg
White oil is a highly refined, colorless, odorless, and tasteless mineral oil that is commonly used in a variety of industrial, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications. It is produced by refining crude oil to remove impurities, resulting in a pure and stable oil that is chemically inert and non-toxic. White oil is typically characterized by its high purity, low viscosity, and low volatility, which makes it an ideal choice for applications where cleanliness, stability, and safety are important. Some common uses of white oil include as a lubricant, a carrier oil for fragrances and flavors, a plasticizer in the manufacturing of plastics, and as an ingredient in personal care products such as lotions and creams.
