Product Description
Hydrogenated Castor Oil (CAS 8001-78-3) High-Performance Emollient & Stabilizer
Product Introduction
Hydrogenated Castor Oil (CAS 8001-78-3), also known as castor wax, is a fully hydrogenated derivative of natural castor oil. Through catalytic hydrogenation, the ricinoleic acid chains are converted to saturated fatty acids, resulting in a hard, high-melting-point, white to off-white wax. It is prized for its excellent stability, emollient properties, and ability to form rigid, glossy films. This non-greasy, odorless, and inert wax is a versatile ingredient widely used in cosmetics, industrial lubricants, and coatings.

Product Functions
- Emollient & Moisturizer: Forms a protective barrier on skin/hair, preventing moisture loss.
- Thickener & Stabilizer: Increases viscosity and stabilizes emulsions in creams, lotions, and ointments.
- Film Former: Creates hard, glossy, non-tacky films in coatings, polishes, and makeup.
- Lubricant & Release Agent: Used in industrial applications, including plastics and metalworking.
- Opacifier: Imparts pearlescence and opacity to cosmetic formulations.
- Binding Agent: Acts as a binder in pressed powders, sticks, and crayons.
Application Areas
- Cosmetics & Personal Care: Lipsticks, mascara, creams, lotions, deodorants, hair products.
- Medicals: Ointment bases, tablet coating, suppository bases.
- Industrial: Lubricants, greases, corrosion inhibitors, textile finishes, polish formulations.
- Food Industry: Release agent for baking, coating for food packaging (indirect food contact).
- Candles & Waxes: Adds hardness and high melt point to specialty candles and wax blends.
Manufacturing Process
Hydrogenated Castor Oil is produced through the catalytic hydrogenation of refined, pre‑treated castor oil. The process involves:
- Purification: Castor oil is filtered and dried to remove impurities and moisture.
- Hydrogenation: In a high‑pressure reactor, hydrogen gas is introduced in the presence of a nickel‑based catalyst at elevated temperature and pressure.
- Post‑Treatment: The hydrogenated product is cooled, filtered to remove catalyst residues, and sometimes bleached.
- Solidification & Flaking: The final product is solidified and flaked or powdered for easy handling and storage.
