Products

Kostene C-30 is a low molecular weight polyethylene. When used in conjunction with volatile oils and solvents such as cyclomethicone, isopar and isododecane, it will act as a thickener and add hardness and slip to formulations.

Kester Wax LWS is a high molecular weight natural ester blend designed to mimic the chemical and physical properties of lanolin wax. This vegan alternative is a true replacement allowing for one-to-one substitutions in cosmetic formulations.

Ozokerites 1090 is a blend of branched and linear hydrocarbons that have a long history of use in industry. Chemists should choose the properties that are critical to their formulation; melt point, penetration, or gel strength. They are non-hazardous,non-toxic, and non-irritating for skin and eyes.

SynKos™ 2050 Wax is comprised of white, synthetic waxes with unique gelling and texturizing capabilities. SynKos waxes are synthetic polymers that are highly compatible, cost effective waxes that can also replace petrochemical waxes, petrolatum and polyethylene.

Kester Wax CT is a multifunctional, vegan wax designed for the personal care industry. This soft solid wax blend is made up of natural ingredients to offer emolliency, plasticizing, thickening, and moisturization of skin and hair.

Kester Wax K-56, a plant based monoester, is compatible with most cosmetic ingredients. Koster Keunen provides it as a slip agent to use for structuring cosmetic and personal care anhydrous systems.

Kester Wax K-EM2 is an ester of ethylene glycol and Montan Acid Wax approved by the German Pharmacopeia (DAB) for use in coatings, as a retarding agent, in tablet binding, and is a strong gelling agent in anhydrous products.

Many times pure beeswax can be substituted in formulations with our Synthetic Beeswax RSB. This Synthetic Beeswax is a match of the physical and chemical properties of the natural product. This is achieved by blending a mixture of fatty acid esters, fatty acids and alcohols from a non-animal raw material source, so as to very closely meet the chemical composition of natural beeswax.

Kester Wax K-48, a long chain ester wax, provides excellent oil gelling and oil binding capabilities with a broad lipids compatibility. Koster Keunen prepares K-48 by the esterification of fatty acids with fatty alcohols. Kester Wax K-48 functions as a thickener and emollient in many applications.

Ozokerites 158/160, 715 is a blend of branched and linear hydrocarbons that have a long history of use in industry. Chemists should choose the properties that are critical to their formulation; melt point, penetration, or gel strength. They are non-hazardous, non-toxic, and non-irritating for skin and eyes.

SynKos™ 2030 Wax is comprised of white, synthetic waxes with unique gelling and texturizing capabilities. SynKos waxes are synthetic polymers that are highly compatible, cost effective waxes that can also replace petrochemical waxes, petrolatum and polyethylene.

SynKos™ 2040 Wax is comprised of white, synthetic waxes with unique gelling and texturizing capabilities. SynKos waxes are synthetic polymers that are highly compatible, cost effective waxes that can also replace petrochemical waxes, petrolatum and polyethylene.
