Use: Ceresines Waxes are an upgrading of various types of paraffins through the controlled admixing of materials that are either compatible or miscible with the original paraffin.

White Ceresine 164/69

Odor: bland

Use: Ceresine and Ozokerite Waxes are predominantly complex hydrocarbons formulated into specialty waxes, custom blended to the customer's needs. Years of formulation and production experience meeting a wide array of industrial needs has helped Strahl & Pitsch develop a full range of Ceresine and Ozokerite Waxes. They are consistent and reproducible from batch to batch, with specific properties critical to the formulator, including melt point, hardness, viscosity, penetration, gel strength and color. These waxes are used in a wide range of applications where consistency is necessary to insure uniformity of finished product in today's quality-conscious world. Ceresine Waxes typically melt between 130-160 degrees Fahrenheit, while Ozokerite Waxes generally melt at the higher range of 140-200 degrees Fahrenheit. Both waxes are non-toxic and non-hazardous, thus permitting use in countless personal-care applications.
