Chemical Formula Does not have a chemical formula, but rather is a complex mixture.

Molecular Weight 500-750 g/mol

Ceresin wax is a white to yellow, waxy hydrocarbon mixture derived from ozokerite, a naturally occurring mineral wax. It's primarily used as a lubricant, mold release agent, and processing aid in various industries like rubber, plastics, and textiles. Ceresin can also be found in cosmetics, personal care products, and as a substitute for beeswax or paraffin. It helps in maintaining the solidity of stick-type products and can be used as an emulsifier in some formulations.

Industrial Uses

1. Personal Care

  • Thickening and Emulsifying Properties: Ceresin is a hydrocarbon wax that increases the viscosity of cosmetic formulations, making them thicker and more stable. It acts as an emulsion stabilizer, preventing the separation of oil and water phases in creams and lotions.

2. Pharmaceuticals

  • Creams and Ointments: Ceresin wax acts as a stiffening agent, helping to solidify these preparations and improve their texture.
  • Emulsion Stabilization: It can stabilize emulsions, preventing the separation of oil and water phases in creams and lotions.
  • Viscosity Control: Ceresin wax helps control the thickness and consistency of topical formulations, ensuring they are easy to apply and spread.
  • Water Repellency: Its water-repellent properties help create a protective barrier on the skin.

3. Fabric Solutions

  • Waterproofing: Ceresin wax is a key ingredient in fabric waterproofing solutions. Its hydrophobic nature (insolubility in water) helps create a barrier that repels water, making fabrics like canvas and other materials suitable for outdoor gear.
