PRODUCTS
We supply more than 60 natural and synthetic waxes for cosmetic, industrial, pharmaceutical, and food applications.
WE ARE NATURAL
CANDELILLA
REAL®
Candelilla wax is obtained from the Euphorbia Cerífera plant, which grows wild in northern Mexico. To protect itself from adverse weather conditions and to retain moisture, the candelilla plant covers itself with a gray powder composed mostly of wax.
CHARACTERISTICS ___
- 100% Natural
- Adds brightness
- Adds moisture resistance
- High degree of hardness
- Melting point (68–73°C / 154–163°F)
- Shrinkage capacity and easy to demold
- Smooth and uniform texture when solidified
- Stable
APPLICATIONS ___
Confectionery
Dental Modeling
Cosmetics
TTR and Inks
Fruit Coating
WE BUZZ
ROYAL
BWX®
Beeswax was our first product, so we have 40 years of experience in its handling and formulation. Beeswax arrives unrefined at our facilities directly from the producers to be processed and transformed into high-quality products.
CHARACTERISTICS ___
- High surface adhesion capacity
- Highly malleable
- Emulsifier
- Improves texture
- Natural origin
- Plasticizer
- Medium melting point (60–62°C /140–144°F)
APPLICATIONS ___
Lipsticks
Face and body creams
Release agent
Candles
WE SHINE
CARNAUBA
Carnauba wax is obtained from the leaves of a palm known as Copernicia Cerifera. The leaves grow from long petioles, whose pores exude wax during the driest months of the year. Nature provides this wax to prevent excessive evaporation of the water within the plant.
CHARACTERISTICS ___
- High melting point
- Adds hydrophobicity to surfaces
- High degree of hardness
- Adds brightness
- Wear resistant
APPLICATIONS ___
Cosmetics
Pharmaceutical
Fruit Coating
Shoe Polishes
Car polishes
WE INNOVATE
CANDEUBA®
Candeuba® is a formulation developed by Multiceras consisting mainly of products of plant origin. Candeuba® has an intermediate chemical composition between candelilla wax and carnauba wax, with a balance between the natural hydrocarbon fraction of candelilla and the ester content of carnauba.
CHARACTERISTICS ___
- Adds brightness
- High hydrocarbon content
- High oil retention
- Low coefficient of expansion/contraction
- Low resin content
- Synthetic wax with high natural wax content
- High degree of hardness
- Emulsifier/stabilizer
APPLICATIONS ___
Confectionery
Fruit Coating
Pharmaceutical
Shoe Polishes
Car Polishes
WE PRESERVE
CARTOWAX®
Our Cartowax® product line consists of high-quality wax blends fortified with additives to improve the properties of corrugated cardboard boxes and waxed paper.
CHARACTERISTICS ___
- Increases cost efficiency
- Increases stowage resistance of packaging
- Adds strength during storage
- Guarantees resistance under the Edge Crush Test (ECT)
- Adds stability at different temperatures
- Adds tear and moisture resistance
- Reduces friction, increasing productivity
- Food grade
APPLICATIONS ___
Cardboard
Cardboard trays
Waxed paper
WE PROTECT
EMULSIONS
An emulsion is a product made up of a wax (natural, petroleum, or synthetic) that is dispersed (suspended), usually in water, with or without alteration of its original chemical composition, with the help of an emulsifier.
The main function of a water-based wax emulsion is to take advantage of the evaporation of water, after the application of the emulsion, to facilitate the transportation of the active content (wax) and to ensure uniform impregnation on the treatment surface.
CHARACTERISTICS ___
- Provide savings related to product and process stability
- Add structural stability
- Add waterproofing barrier
- Allow for a uniform and homogeneous application
- Reduce moisture absorption
- Reduce uneven surfaces
APPLICATIONS ___
Paper
Gypsum Board
Particle board
WE CREATE
SYNTHETIC WAXES
Synthetic waxes are chemical products developed to reproduce the physical properties of vegetable, animal, mineral, and petroleum-derived waxes. Synthetic waxes are produced using the Fischer Tropsch method.
CHARACTERISTICS ___
- High degree of hardness
- Wide variety of melting points
- Add opacity
APPLICATIONS ___
Textile
PVC Extrusion
Inks and Paintings
WE ARE FLEXIBLE
MICROCRYSTALLINE WAXES
Microcrystalline Waxes are made up of very small and flexible crystals, generating a greater affinity with oils (the oil is literally “trapped” in the microcrystalline structure and cannot migrate to the surface). Therefore, they are very malleable and less brittle than Paraffins.
CHARACTERISTICS ___
- Wide variety of melting points
- Add opacity
- Highly malleable
- Not brittle
- Oil retention
APPLICATIONS ___
Gum Base
Shoe Polishes
Candles
Dental
WE ARE GLOBAL
PARAFFIN WAXES
Paraffin waxes are straight-chain hydrocarbons (N-paraffins) derived from petroleum that present in a solid state at room temperature.
CHARACTERISTICS ___
- When cut, they are powdery and hard
- Add combustible property to candles
- Add water repellency
- Typically white in color
APPLICATIONS ___
Cardboard packings
Candles
Crayons
Creams and Lotions
WE ARE STABLE
PETROLATUM
Petrolatum are products derived from petroleum; they are obtained from the residues of the distillation of the oil that remains after its evaporation. Petrolatum are a homogeneous mixture of long-chain saturated hydrocarbons, generally more than 25 carbon atoms. They are a mixture of low-molecular-weight microcrystalline waxes and low-viscosity paraffinic oils.
This family of products has an oil content greater than 10% by weight.
CHARACTERISTICS ___
- High efficiency as a retention agent for aromas and essences
- High oil retention
- High viscosity
- Highly malleable
- Extensive compatibility with natural and mineral waxes
- Soft consistency
- Excellent stability
APPLICATIONS ___
Candles
Modeling clays
