Blistering Performance
Poth Hille pharmaceutical-grade waxes include Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, Candelilla Wax, Paraffin Wax, Microcrystalline Wax, Ozokerite Wax, and Ceresine Wax. They can be found in numerous pharmaceutical formulations. They are typically in semi-solid preparations such as ointments, creams, soft gel capsules, and suppositories.
Each wax has unique properties that contribute to emollience, gloss, gelling strength, rigidity, and oil retention. This completely comes down to the wax you have chosen.
In soft-gel capsule production, beeswax is the most effective stabiliser for suspending oil-based contents. Beeswax also acts as a stabiliser and release agent in some tablet-based food supplements.
Carnauba wax is used in the pharmaceutical industry for tablet coating as a glazing agent. Coating with Carnauba Wax will prevent chipping or flaking and enable easier swallowing of the tablet.
Squeezing Lead Times
Pharmaceutical preparations are normally supplied in the form of a cream or ointment. This is because this provides an effective means of delivering the active ingredient directly to the required area. Ozokerite Wax produces stable mixtures with oils and prevents bleeding or sweating. This helps produce a lighter cream that is less greasy.
Ceresine Wax is also used for pharmaceutical coating applications such as protective coatings, enteric coatings, and sustained-release coatings. It has also been used in the formulation of topical delivery systems.
Beeswax Substitute 6621 is used in creams for the short-term treatment of eczema and dermatitis patches.
Petroleum jelly medical grade is used to protect and heal dry skin and to protect minor cuts and burns, and to soften skin. Poth Hille has developed a range of products made exclusively from natural, renewably sourced materials. These products are formulated specifically to match the physical feel and behaviour of Petrolatum.
