We are the leading Hydrogenated Castor Oil manufacturer In India producing quality that has high workability, long-range stability, high-drop point, and water resistance. Hydrogenated Castor Oil (HCO) is produced by hydrogenation of castor oil. It is a versatile integrant for various applications.
As castor oil reduces atmospheric moisture pick-up during handling and mixing, it becomes an essential additive agent for substantial applications. Hydrogenated Castor Oil is odourless and is available in powder or flake form with high-melting-point.
These different forms are used as a viscosity modifier and for improvement in grease and oil resistance. Hydrogenated castor oil in cosmetics is a popular addition as it is soluble in both water and oil and has foam-enhancing properties. Therefore one can easily find hydrogenated castor oil in skincare products like moisturizers as well as hair care cosmetics.

12-HSA is a useful component in hot-melt adhesives, inks and polishes, that reacts with acrylic esters to create durable and strong thermosetting polymers. These thermosetting polymers are used as a coating in metal-decorative finishes, industrial appliances and high-quality automotive applications.

It is a purified castor oil derivative that is put through dehydration through a chemical process. It is a yellow oily fluid with a distinct odor. Dehydrated castor oil use within industries cannot be understated since it is a prime component of paints, coatings, wire enamels, and other relevant products.
The reduced water content of DCO, unlike regular castor oil, significantly increases its desirability for industrial use. This low water content makes a dehydrated castor oil ideal for several industrial processes.
Furthermore, the coatings that use DCO result in a comparatively higher gloss, improved flexibility, and elevated water resistance. These capabilities further lead to higher adhesion properties. Not to forget—DCO’s distinct properties allow it to withstand rough environmental conditions, making it a versatile and robust option for enhanced applications in different areas.
