Hydrogenated Castor Oil
Hydrogenated castor oil:
Hydrogenated castor oil is produced by addition of hydrogen to castor oil (hydrogenation process) in the presence of a nickel catalyst. A temperature range of 125-135oC and pressure range of 2-2.5 kg/cm3 is required for the saturation of double bond to yield a viscous, waxy product.
It is primarily used in coatings and greases and hydrogenated castor oil is also utilized in the manufacture of waxes, polishes, carbon paper,candles and crayons. In addition, it finds use in cosmetics, hair dressing, ointments, and in the preparation of hydroxy-stearic acid and derivatives. Sometimes, HCO is used as a paint additive, pressure mould release agent in the manufacture of formed plastics and rubber goods.
As this castor oil grade has numerous industrial applications, the future demand for this product is estimated to be 25,000 MT per annum.
