Sasol Wax is the leading specialist in inno-

vative wax technology. Sasol Wax 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 compre-

hensive 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 spec-

trum 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 envi-

ronmentally compatible properties are cha-

racterized by good biodegradability and an

absence of ecotoxic and cumulative effects.

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

The products are used in large areas of the

cosmetic and pharmaceutical 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 formula-

tions 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 out-

standing 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 tis-

sue, which has to be cut in razor-thin sections.

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 depen-

ding 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, refe-

rence is made to the latest monographs.

MERKUR 794, MERKUR 717, VARA 2600, MER-

KUR 793 T, MERKUR 791 and MERKUR 773 are

very high-grade petroleum jellies with excellent

oil-binding capacity, especially for the pharma-

ceutical 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 consti-

tuent 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 pharma-

ceutical jellies can be obtained either by

coloring white pharmaceutical petroleum jelly

or by bleaching.

The yellow petroleum jellies in the following

table are produced by bleaching and are not

stabilized. We will be glad to inform you about

colored petroleum jelly types on request.

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

6050 is preferably used as an emollient to

obtain the desired consistencies. 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 bro-

chure 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 mix-

tures 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 conditi-

oning properties.

Synthetic Waxes produced by the Fischer-

Tropsch process show a high molecular linearity

and therefore low penetration values with high

congealing points. Due to these properties

they are used in formulations for hardness

regulation. Powdered synthetic waxes with a

particle size of 90% finer than 10 µm and a

topcut of 20 µm are used for abrasion regu-

lation in abrasive pastes (e. g. tooth paste).

Our production facilities and processes benefit from our constant efforts to improve and innovate.

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 ex-

tends 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 re-

search and development are state of the

art. We will be able to offer customer-

specific 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 pharmaco-

poeia monographs and many other details, we

have in particular laid down the highest stan-

dards for filling of petroleum jelly and white

oils. Both product lines are filled in new instal-

lations, with high hygiene requirements and

to some extent under protective atmosphere

with filtered air in closed systems. This, com-

bined with production in closed tank and pipe-

line 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 main-

tains 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.

The latest technology safeguards quality

In Chapter 8 we demonstrated the impor-

tance we attach to GMP, ISO and HACCP.

This page gives you examples of how

these requirements are implemented in

our technology.

The picture at top left shows the filling

system for pharmaceutical white and yellow

petroleum jellies: a hermetically sealed

system that works with filtered air under

over-pressure. The closed drums are fed to

the filling chamber through a first airlock,

opened, filled by weight, closed again, then

fed out via a second airlock.

The batch is marked on the body of the

drum by an inkjet printer. And all this takes

place continuously and automatically. This

is how we ensure the quality, hundred per-

cent traceability, and the stringent hygiene

requirements – ruling out dirt, microorga-

nisms etc. Bottom left: Filling nozzle and

drum opening on completion of filling.

The picture at bottom right shows one

of our three high-pressure hydrogenation

units. The reactor works with a fixed-bed

catalyst. All substances that have no place

in our products are removed at high

temperature under hydrogen over-pressure.

High-pressure hydrogenation is the most

important step in manufacturing products

for use in cosmetics, foods and pharmaceu-

tical preparations. Storage and transport take

place in closed systems.

High-pressure hydrogenation, bleaching, storage and filling – our production facilities are in line with the latest technology and conform to the highest standards.
