Welcome to Lambent Technologies!
Kahl

Don't worry - The Company has changed, but the products haven't.

All the waxes, oils and butters previously available from Hansotech are now available from Lambent Technologies and Lambent is now the agent for Kahl waxes in the U.S.

Lambent Technologies has been a manufacturer of oleochemical derivatives for the food, personal care, and industrial industries since 1952. Since 1999, Hansotech and Lambent Technologies have worked together closely as subsidiaries of Petroferm Inc. Now, we are merging these two product lines under the Lambent Technologies umbrella, to provide you with a complete range of products for the personal care, food, and industrial markets.

We invite you to explore the Lambent website to learn more about our background and the products that we manufacture. If you would like technical assistance or to request samples, please click here. You may also call (800) 432-7187.

Following is an overview of the waxes that we offer. In addition to these, there are numerous specialty waxes for the food, personal care, automotive care, and industrial markets. Please click on the following links to learn more about waxes for the Food and Personal Care Industries.
