CAS 8001-75-0

Ceresin

Description:

Ceresin, with the CAS number 8001-75-0, is a natural wax derived from the distillation of ozokerite, a naturally occurring mineral wax. It is primarily composed of long-chain hydrocarbons and is characterized by its white to yellowish appearance, typically in the form of a solid or semi-solid. Ceresin is known for its high melting point, which makes it stable at elevated temperatures, and it is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as alcohol and ether. This substance exhibits excellent emulsifying properties, making it useful in various applications, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products. Additionally, ceresin is valued for its ability to enhance the texture and stability of formulations, providing a smooth and glossy finish. Its non-toxic nature and biodegradability further contribute to its appeal in environmentally conscious formulations. Overall, ceresin serves as a versatile ingredient in multiple industries, leveraging its unique physical and chemical properties.

Controlled Product

CAS: 8001-75-0

Ceresin wax is a degradable, water-insoluble, solid wax that has been used as an antimicrobial agent in pharmaceutical preparations. The high resistance of cresol to oxidation and hydrolysis makes it an effective preservative. Ceresol can be decarboxylated to produce phenols, which have strong antiseptic properties. It also has a high acid complexing ability that makes it useful for preventing the growth of microorganisms. This property is due to the presence of fatty acids with long chains that are not easily degraded by enzymes in the stomach. When cresol is heated, it reacts with lemongrass oil and produces macroscopic reaction products that are visible when viewed under a microscope. These products are mainly composed of carboxylic acids and alcohols. Cresol also has an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) profile that is similar to those of other organic compounds such as fatty acids or polycarboxylic acids
