Usage

Description

Ozokerite, also known as cresin, is a naturally occurring microcrystalline wax derived from mineral or petroleum sources. It possesses unique properties such as regulating formulation viscosity, providing suspension, and offering stability to products. When refined, ozokerite yields a hard white microcrystalline wax known as cresin.

Uses

Used in Cosmetics Industry:
Ozokerite is used as a viscosity regulator and emollient in various cosmetic products, such as lipsticks, creams, and lotions. Its ability to provide stability and improve the texture of formulations makes it a valuable ingredient in the cosmetics industry.
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
In the pharmaceutical industry, ozokerite is used as a binder, coating agent, and consistency agent in the production of tablets, capsules, and ointments. Its properties help in maintaining the stability and quality of the final product.
Used in Candle Making:
Ozokerite is used as a key ingredient in the production of candles, particularly in the creation of highly scented and colored varieties. Its ability to provide a clean, smoke-free burn and enhance the fragrance release makes it a popular choice in the candle making industry.
Used in Confectionery Industry:
In the confectionery industry, ozokerite is used as a glazing agent for chocolates and other sweets. Its ability to provide a smooth, shiny finish and improve the texture of confectionery products makes it an essential component in this industry.
Used in Adhesives and Sealants:
Ozokerite is used as a component in the formulation of adhesives and sealants due to its ability to provide stability and improve the bonding properties of these products. Its versatility makes it suitable for various applications, including construction, automotive, and packaging industries.
