Jarcane™ 12

Jarcane™ 12 is a high purity alkane that is a single cut, linear, vegetable-derived paraffin made from renewable resources like natural fatty acids or natural fatty acid methyl esters. It is characterized by a sharp melting profile, solvency in liquid, high latent heat of fusion, chemical inertness, and non-tendency to supercooling. This product has 12 carbons.Jarcane™ 12 is an excellent choice when looking for a phase change material for latent heat storage applications including functional textiles and construction. It is also an alternative choice when looking for non-polar solvent, oils or wax additives based on renewable resources for environmentally-friendly or natural formulation concepts.

Product Highlights
  • Jarcane™ 12 is very stable and completely soluble in cosmetic oils and solvents. It is fast absorbing with a light skin feel and leaves skin normal to the touch after application. These properties help modify the resulting texture of creams and lotions to be less oily and greasy when applied.
  • Jarcane™ 12 improves the coverage, consistency, and pigment wetting in cosmetics as well as enhancing color stability. This product is also compatible with silicones, UV filters, and lipophilic systems.
