Waxes
We were established in 1962 and have become unrivaled experts in waxes and wax blending. We offer an extensive range of all waxes and wax blends.
We are also manufacturers of petroleum jellies for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors as well as for commercial and industrial use.
We provide the exceptional service, competitive prices and quality stock levels. We pride ourselves on our customer's awareness and responsiveness and have grown into the UK's leading wax blender.
Wax Blending
As the UK's leading provider of wax blending, we offer a comprehensive and unique service to candle makers. We provide an extensive selection of paraffin waxes. They range from low melt point through to high, hard materials.
We are the only wax blending company with over 600 tonnes of bulk storage for wax blending. We also have available to us pastillator machines, slabbing presses and powder towers.
All of this means we can offer you the highest level of service and our wax blending is achieved to your exact requirements.
Paraffin Waxes
We provide paraffin waxes fully refined, white, odourless and tasteless and with oil content as little as 1.0 percent. We offer paraffin waxes at exceptional prices and have a range of melting points from 42oC to 69oC. Harder paraffin waxes are supplied in powder, slab or pellet form.
Paraffin waxes provide superior protection and offer water barrier properties that make it perfect for coating cardboard and paper in the food industry.
Emulsifying Wax
Our superb emulsifying wax is based on primary fatty alcohols and neutral emulsifiers. It is emulsified in water and aqueous solutions and manufactured with high purity and consistency in mind. We make it especially for use in creams and ointments.
We manufacture our products in accordance with BP monogram and emulsifying wax is developed for use in the preparation of pharmaceutical emulsifying ointments and penicillin cream bases.
It is also ideal for general use as oil in water emulsifiers for pharmaceutical and toilet preparations.
Being almost neutral, emulsifying wax has no perfume, aromatic oils or medicinal substances. It makes it a very stable wax and can easily be combined with other substances.
Microcystalline Wax
We have in-house facilities to manufacture pure microcrystalline wax in a combination with paraffin or other performance additives.
Microcystalline wax is often used in adhesives, castings, corrugated board, cosmetics, rubber, and tyre industries. The wax is available in white, yellow or dark brown.
Uses of microcrystalline wax also include candle making, cosmetics, dental, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, fruit coating, jewellery waxes, laminating, paper and board coating, and snowboard and surfboard coating.
