Product Description

Hydrogenated Castor Oil (HCO) is produced by catalytic hydrogenation of castor oil. The double bonds of ricinoleic acid are saturated – resulting in a white, hard wax (melting point 85–⁠88°C) that is chemically very stable and oxidation resistant. PENPET GREEN Chemicals supplies HCO under its own label.

HCO acts as a gelling agent, viscosity modifier and structuring agent. In lipsticks it increases durability and stability; in cosmetic emulsions it provides structure.

Applications

Lipstick structuring agent and consistency modifier

Creams, ointments and solid emulsions

Candles, waxes and solid formulations

Pharmaceutical tablets and coatings

Polishes and waxes

Technical gelling agents and viscosity modifiers
