HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL (FLAKES/POWDER)
(HCO) is a wax like compound obtained by the controlled hydrogenation of refined Castor Oil. It is a hard, brittle, high melting point product that is practically odourless and tasteless. It is supplied in the form of flakes or as powder.
Lubricants
Soapmaking relies on a chemical reaction called saponification. This reaction combines fats/oils with a strong alkali (like lye) to create soap and glycerin.
Paper Coatings
Hydrogenated Castor Oil (HCO) is a processed castor oil that is used in a variety of industrial applications, including paper coatings. It is a hard, waxy material that is added to paper to make it more water-resistant.
Processing Aids
(HCO) is a processed castor oil that is used as a lubricant and release agent in various industries. It is made by reacting castor oil with hydrogen gas, which reduces the number of double bonds in the oil's fatty acid chains. This makes the oil thicker and more viscous.
Hot Melt Adhesives.
Castor oil is used in the production of paints and coatings because it helps to improve their adhesion, flexibility, and durability.
