At a glance ...Personal Care

At a glance ...Sasol Wax is the leading specialist in innovative wax technology. Sasol Performance Chemicals products are supplied worldwide into many different markets and are used in a diversity of applications.

Paraffin wax is the major raw material for the production of candles and is also used in the manufacture of rubber and tires, chipboards, plastics, foodstuffs, food packaging, printing inks and paints, textiles, asphalt and many other products. Sasol Wax offers a comprehensive product range of pharmaceutical white oils, petroleum jellies and waxes. For decades, Sasol Wax has been concentrating on the development and optimization of paraffin and paraffin blends as well as petroleum jellies for a large number of different applications.

The products are renowned for a broad spectrum of applications. Their use ranges from relatively simple applications to process oriented tailor-made products for state of the art production equipment. Specialties are created for innovative solutions, e. g. as medium for latent heat storage.

Both macrocrystalline and microcrystalline paraffin and petroleum jellies represent complex multicomponent blends consisting of saturated hydrocarbons. Extracted from fossil raw materials, our products are cleaned of any possible pollutants with the aid of environmentally friendly procedures (e.g. high-pressure hydrogenation). These highly refined products are subject to continuous quality control and from a toxicological point of view pose no risk to health. Their environmentally compatible properties are characterized by good biodegradability and an absence of ecotoxic and cumulative effects.

Products for the Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical IndustryPersonal Care

Solid and liquid paraffins and petroleum jellies help toenhance the health of the skin and reduce desiccation.

Products for the Cosmetic, Food and Pharmaceutical Industry

The products are used in large areas of the cosmetic and pharmaceuti-cal industry, where they are employed as processing aids, as plasticizers for adjusting hardness, in many lotions and creams (e.g. cleansing milk, lipid-replenishing cosmetics and sun protection agents) and act as the base for creams, lipsticks, rouge and eye cosmetics such as eye-shadow, eyebrow pencils and mascara.

Solid and liquid paraffins and petroleum jellies are essential constituents in formulations as they have outstanding properties in terms of their protective action, color and also as a consistency regulator. They help to enhance the health of the skin and reduce desiccation. Other applications range from shaving foam, hot and cold depilatory waxes to thermal therapy, which exploits the outstanding heat storing properties of paraffin waxes.

An especially demanding application of paraffin waxes is histology. Highest purity products are composed with certain additives to give the desired flexibility. Screening through fine mesh screens guarantees the absence of any particulate matter. Only these high quality products are suitable for the embedding of tissue, which has to be cut in razor-thin sections.

Pharmaceutical petroleum jelliesPersonal Care

MERKUR and VARApharmaceutical petroleum jellies

MERKUR and VARA petroleum jellies are ointment-like, nearly odorless, homogeneous mixtures of high-purity, hydrogenated, predominantly saturated hydrocarbons. They are snow-white, off-white, pale yellow or yellow pharmaceutical qualities depending on the degree of refining.

In the table below we have indicated the extent to which the degree of purity is covered by various pharmacopoeias. In each case, reference is made to the latest monographs.

VARA 2600, MERKUR 793 T, MERKUR 791 and MERKUR 773 are very high-grade petroleum jellies with excellent oil-binding capacity, especially for the pharmaceutical industry. MERKUR 546 is particularly stable to heat and suitable for countries with tropical climates. We recommend MERKUR 110 as Melkfett (Milking Grease) quality.

MERKUR and VARA pharmaceutical petroleum jellies are mainly used for the following applications:

• Base material for eye creams, ointments and hair care agents as well as the main constituent of skin care creams, baby care, hand-cleaning pastes, body lotions, hand and skin creams and eye make-up.

• Melkfett petroleum jellies and Melkfett ointments (Milking Grease).

Particularly in the pharmaceutical field, not only white, but also yellow pharmaceutical petroleum jellies are used as a base material and consistency regulator. They are a constituent of many dermatological preparations. Yellow vaselines are also used in cosmetic formulations such as milking grease/fatty ointments and other skin protection creams, and in veterinary products. Yellow pharmaceutical jellies can be obtained either by coloring white pharmaceutical petroleum jelly or by bleaching.

Sasolwax for Personal Careapplications

Hard Paraffin Waxes are mainly used in the formulation of lipsticks, creams, lotions and make-up.* INCI name: Paraffin

Soft Paraffin Waxes are used in the formulation of lipsticks, creams and lotions. Sasolwax 5217 and 4608 are raw materials for hot and cold depilatory products. INCI name: Paraffin

Microcrystalline Waxes are used for the formulations of creams and lipsticks to adjust hardness/softness as well as solidification point. All microcrystalline waxes in this brochure conform to the COLIPA requirements for lip care products. INCI name: Microcrystalline Wax

Genuine ozokerite was found in association with petroleum deposits, from which it was extracted by mining. Purified ozokerite is known as ceresin. To this day, cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications use white, purified ceresin. Today, however, ozokerites/ceresins are mixtures of various waxes with high solidification points and specific properties with regard to hardness, viscosity and penetration. Ozokerites/ ceresins are highly valued in creams and many other formulations because of their special oil binding properties.They also help to stabilize emulsions and regulate viscosity, bind powders or preparations containing powders, and help to give hair cosmetics antistatic and conditioning properties.

GMP, ISO & HACCP certificationPersonal Care

The Sasol Wax difference – GMP, ISO & HACCP certification

Sasol Wax supply first-class products offering many benefits for the user. Our products are available all over the world. What’s more, our technical expertise extends from Hamburg to all destinations, either directly or via our contacts and sales partners. Our production facilities and processes benefit from our constant efforts to improve and innovate. Our research and development are state of the art. We will be able to offer customerspecific solutions for your products.

We are thoroughly familiar with the special requirements of the cosmetic industry and the pharmaceutical and food industries. We have committed ourselves to production and documentation in accordance with the basic GMP rules, and we therefore follow the “Joint IPEC-PQG Good Manufacturing Practices Guide for Pharmaceutical Excipients”.

In addition to the basic requirements such as 100% traceability of batches, comprehensive quality control having regard to pharmacopoeia monographs and many other details, we have in particular laid down the highest standards for filling of petroleum jelly and white oils. Both product lines are filled in new installations, with high hygiene requirements and to some extent under protective atmosphere with filtered air in closed systems. This, combined with production in closed tank and pipeline systems, ensures that we reach a standard which has been given unrestricted approval* by the German Association of Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies (VFA) under the Joint Audit Programme for Excipients (JAVfH).

It goes without saying that our company maintains an integrated management system. We are certified under DIN EN ISO 9001 (quality), DIN EN ISO 14001 (environment) and OHSAS 18001 (occupational safety and health). For products used in the food industry, work has started on introducing an HACCP system (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) in accordance with the Codex Alimentarius.
