Use

Cetyl esters wax is a stiffening agent and emollient used in creams and ointments as a replacement for naturally occurring spermaceti. Cetyl esters wax is hydrophobic and has been proposed as a suitable component of an ophthalmic gelatin-based, controlledrelease delivery matrix. The physical properties of cetyl esters wax vary greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer owing to differences between the mixtures of fatty acids and fatty alcohol esters that are used. Differences between products appear most obviously in the melting point, which can range from 43–47℃ (USP32–NF27 range) to 51–55°C, depending on the mixture. Materials with a high melting point tend to contain predominantly cetyl and stearyl palmitates.
