THE MEDICAL, PERSONAL CARE AND COSMETIC INDUSTRIES
Kerax supply these industries with a wide range of white oils, waxes and petroleum jellies. Properties of such products include a low temperature melting point and sufficient adhesion to maintain body contact without being difficult to remove subsequently. Sometimes there is confustion in the use of the terms Vaseline and Petroleum Jelly. Vaseline is a brand name for a Petroleum Jelly 'consumer' type of product sold in the high street. Kerax do not use the brand name of Vaseline and instead use the industry term of Petroleum Jelly.
Below is a SMALL SELECTION of the large range of products available.
