CERESIN WAX WHITE
CERESIN WAX WHITE
A white or slightly yellowish Mineral wax prepared from purified and decolorized Ozocerite. Ceresin is refined by treating powdered ozocerite with concentrated Sulfuric acid then filtering through animal Charcoal. The resultant wax is similar to paraffin, but is harder and has a higher melting point.
Strahl & Pitsch Ceresine Waxes are mixtures produced using paraffin and microcrystalline waxes, custom blended to create a multi functional value-added product.
Ceresin is used as a stiffening agent in creams and ointments, and as an emulsion stabilizer, opacifier, viscosity control agent, and thickener in pharmaceutical protective, topical, and vaginal creams.
Ceresin (also cerin, cerasin, cerosin, ceresin wax or ceresine) is a wax derived from ozokerite by a purifying process.
