Girnar- Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Hydrogenated castor oil. Acts as a lubricant and a processing aid. It serves as a grinding aid for phenolic resins at a level of 0.5-1.0%. Subsequently, it acts as an anti-blocking agent, internal lubricant and mold release during molding operation. It is obtained by controlled hydrogenation of refined castor oil. Exhibits excellent resistance to water, oils, fats, solvents, crude petroleum and their derivatives. When it is added at a level of 2-3% to polyethylene, it improves the processing and subsequent grease resistance of the sheeted polymer. In rigid PVC, it aids during calendaring, injection molding of pipe, fittings, conduit, sheet and profits at levels of 0.3-1.2 PHR. In rubber, it improves the appearance of molded goods and provides excellent shape retention on extrusion up to 20 PHR.
