Details:
Petrolatum Amber is a semi-solid hydrocarbon blend derived from petroleum refining, valued for its barrier-forming, lubricating, and moisture-resistant properties. It plays a key role in both personal care formulations and technical applications where protection, stability, or water resistance is required.
Technical Applications:
• Lubricants – Used in greases and anti-seize compounds for machinery operating under low to moderate loads.
• Corrosion Protection – Serves as a coating to prevent rust and oxidation on metal surfaces and components.
• Cable Filling – Acts as a moisture barrier in telecommunications and power cables to prevent water ingress.
• Automotive – Applied as a sealant and undercoating for rust prevention and sound dampening.
• Polymers and Plastics – Functions as a processing aid and mold release agent during extrusion and molding.
• Adhesives – Used as a plasticizer or tackifier component in industrial adhesive formulations.
• Leather Processing – Acts as a conditioning and water-repellent agent in industrial leather treatment.
• Metalworking – Used as a base in certain drawing compounds and thread-cutting lubricants.
• Construction – Applied in expansion joint fillers and waterproofing membranes.
• Electrical – Used in insulating pastes and dielectric compounds to resist moisture and improve insulation
Personal Care Applications :
• Moisturizing Creams & Lotions - Provides hydration and forms a protective barrier on the skin.
• Pharmaceutical - Used in medicated pain balms, ointments, and creams as a base and protectant.
• Make Up - Acts as a base component and enhances product texture.
• Hand & Foot Cream - Helps relieve dryness and protect against cracking.
• Skin Protectant - Shields skin from moisture loss and external irritants.
• Wound Care - Supports healing by maintaining a moist, protective environment.
• Lip Balm - Provides softness, shine, and lasting moisture for lips.
• Lipsticks - Improves texture, smoothness, and stability.
• Salves & Rubs - Serves as a base for soothing and therapeutic topical products.
• Baby Care - Gentle moisturizer and protective agent for sensitive skin.
• Hair Care - Adds shine, smoothness, and moisture retention.
