Description
Beeswax white is a pure, natural wax material supplied for laboratory, formulation, and technical applications that require a consistent natural wax base. Identified by CAS number 8012-89-3 and EG number 232-383-7, it is characterised by a density in the range 0,96 to 0,98 g/cm³. The white grade is suitable for use in ointment bases, coating trials, polishing preparations, embedding work, and other procedures where a refined natural beeswax is preferred. Offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH as a pure natural quality, the product supports both research and routine preparation tasks without unnecessary additives highlighted in the source data. Laboratories value beeswax for its mouldability, water-repellent character, and compatibility with many lipophilic systems.

What is this article?
Beeswax white, 250 g, plastic, pure, natural, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Lipids, steroids & fatty acids, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
A lipid, a steroid or a fatty acid is specified by chain length, saturation and purity. Esters and free acids are different compounds. Many are supplied in a small amount under inert gas because they oxidise. The physical form, oil or powder, follows from the structure.
A biochemical is a molecule of life, sold as a reagent: an amino acid, a sugar, a nucleotide, a lipid, an enzyme, an antibiotic. The difference from a bulk chemical is that the use is a biological one, and the impurities that matter are the ones that change that use. An enzyme is specified by activity, not only by mass. An antibiotic is specified by potency. Papers are on PubMed. Structures are on PubChem. Strains and lines that consume these reagents are at ATCC.
