Reliance on non-renewable mineral oil sources for ointment bases. Transitioning to bio-based alternatives reduces environmental toxicity and supply chain volatility.

Standard wax and bio-based triglyceride structures lack sufficient elongation and flexibility for industrial applications. Overcoming this mechanical limitation prevents cracking and structural failure in end-use products.

Standard natural oil triglycerides often suffer from poor burn consistency and structural integrity during thermal consumption. Resolving these instabilities prevents soot formation and ensures uniform wax consumption.

Excessive traction and friction in mechanical interfaces lead to parasitic energy loss and heat generation. Reducing these losses improves mechanical efficiency and component longevity.
