Ricinoleic Acid

HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL (SHIPCASWAX) is a wax-like compound obtained by controlled hydrogenation of refined Castor Oil. It is a hard, brittle, high melting point product that is odorless and tasteless. It is supplied in the form of flakes. The Colour of SHIPCASWAX is cream to white. When melted it is transparent to straw colored.
ELECTRICAL APPLICATIONS: SHIPCASWAX is useful for impregnating and insulating of condensers, for sealing relays, and for coating fuses, because of its favorable dielectric properties.
HOT MELT ADHESIVES: SHIPCASWAX improves the oil & grease resistance of hot melt adhesives & also produces sharp melting, quick setting hot melts. It also reduces the melt viscosity. Some examples of the hot-melt adhesive systems are, ethyl cellulose laminating hot melts, PE-PVA Co-polymer based adhesives, PVB based adhesives, hot pick up label adhesives, wax paper adhesives, packaging adhesives with low temperature performance, leather to wood adhesives, etc.
