Synthetic beeswax

Synthetic beeswax (CAS 71243-51-1) is a petroleum-derived wax engineered to replicate the functional profile of natural beeswax without reliance on animal-sourced raw materials.

Where is Synthetic beeswax used?

• Personal care: structures lip balms, lipsticks, and solid emulsions where batch-to-batch consistency and vegan positioning are procurement priorities
• Coatings: slip and scratch-resistance additive in industrial and decorative surface finishes
• Adhesives and sealants: controls viscosity and open time in hot-melt systems
• Metalworking lubricants: solid lubricant component where controlled release and thermal stability under mechanical load are required
• It delivers consistent rheology modification through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis or ester-based processes.

Commercial specifications

• Cosmetic grades typically meet purity requirements aligned with Ph. Eur. or USP monographs for waxes.
• Packing is commonly offered in 25 kg cartons or bags, with bulk options available for industrial volumes.
