Hydrogen gas is passed through Refined castor oil with Nickel as to get Hydrogenated Castor Oil. After filtration, the liquid HCO goes either to Flaking machine to get HCO Flakes or to Spray Drying Tower to get HCO Powder.
Hydrogenated Castor Oil (HCO), also known as Castor Wax, is a hard, brittle, and odorless material derived by hydrogenating pure castor oil. It appears in white flake or powder form and is valued for its high melting point, chemical resistance, and moisture stability.
HCO is non-toxic, non-hygroscopic, and biodegradable, making it ideal for cosmetic, personal care, pharmaceutical, plastic, and lubricant formulations.
It is widely used as a thickener, dispersing agent, mold release agent, and viscosity modifier in various specialty products.

Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a hard , brittle ,high melting odorless solid wax produced from Castor Oil. A triglyceride mainly of 12-hydroxy stearic acid that is insoluble in water. These are available in Partially hydrogenated, Powder & Flakes form, and used in high performance coolants and lubricants, cosmetics, electrical capacitors, carbon paper, lubrication, coating and greases.
Hydrogenated Castor Oil Flakes: A Versatile Addition for Various Uses
Imagine a complete transformation of castor oil, where its liquid state is replaced by delicate and translucent flakes. These flakes, known as hydrogenated castor oil flakes (HCO flakes), possess unique properties that bring both elegance and functionality to a wide range of applications. Unlike their powdery counterpart, HCO flakes offer a distinct advantage in terms of texture, opening up new possibilities.
Hydrogenated Castor Oil PH 40 is a nonionic solubilizer and emulsifying agent obtained by reacting 1 mole of hydrogenated castor oil with 40 moles of ethylene oxide. The main constituent of Hydrogenated castor Oil PH 40 is glycerol polyethylene glycol hydroxy- stearate, which, together with fatty acid glycerol polyglycol esters, forms the hydrophobic part of the product. The hydrophilic part consists of polyethylene glycols and glycerol ethoxylate.
We are offering almost odorless and tasteless Hydrogenated Castor Oil PH 50 which is transparent, white and viscous liquid. Hydrogenated Castor Oil PH 50 is chemically . Propylene glycol-Polyoxyl 40-hydrogenated castor oil�¢??.Before using in any application, Hydrogenated Castor Oil PH 50 must be heated up to 50oC to 60oC. It forms clear solution in water, ethanol,2-propanol, n-propanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and toluene. It improves the solubility of poorly soluble drugs. Hydrogenated Castor Oil PH 50 offered by us is stable over a broad temperature range and pH independent
