For personal care and cosmetic applications Koster Keunen produces exclusive Kester (natural esters) Waxes. Kester Waxes provide ideal properties for gelling, skin feel and moisturization. Waxes for personal care include fruit waxes, natural wax dispersions and the water soluble waxes, PEG Beeswax and PEG Carnauba.
We developed unique Kester (ester) Waxes for inks. Kester Waxes enhance surface properties and water resistance. They also serve as effective matting agents. Our processes include solvent-containing dispersions and pastes, precipitation formulations and aqueous dispersions to incorporate waxes into printing inks.
We manufacture a full line of waxes that meet the strict standards of the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP), a nonprofit scientific organization. The USP sets standards for the identity, strength, quality and purity of medicines, food ingredients and dietary supplements manufactured, distributed and consumed worldwide.
Koster Keunen created a full line of food grade waxes designed to impart specific functions into food products. Food wax properties include film former, moisture barrier and glossing agent. Some formulations shorten and others extend shelf life.
We manufacture waxes to use in barrier preparations, cleaners, floor and furniture polish. This includes waxes, leather care, stone and other surface protectors. Our emulsifiers, esters, waxes and derivatives act as wetters, dispersants, gelling aids and emollients.
We explore the remote areas of the world to find the highest quality raw materials for you. That’s why we guarantee that our 100% organic wax is “100% organic”. We work diligently with our global suppliers and partners to only source the purest and highest quality raw materials for your cosmetic and food ingredients.
We make waxes that improve car detailing products. Our waxes provide chemical properties that produce a durable buffable high gloss finish on all types of paints. They are strong gelling agents and improve water beading.
