Dehydrated Castor Oil （DCO）

Polymerized Dehydrated Castor Oil Z-3● DCO is a unique drying oil made from the non-drying oil, caster oil, through chemical reactions.
● The composition of the fatty acid in DCO is mostly octa decadienoic acid and the most characteristic is that it
contains conjugated linoleic acid.
● DCO dries quicker than linseed oil and its paints are excellent in non-yellowing property, adhesion to metals,
chemical resistance, water-proof, flexibility, hardness and gloss.
● DCO is made into varnish, alkyd resin or styrene oil, etc to be used in synthetic resin coatings and printing inks.

● DCO Z-3 in which higher viscosity through polymerization is added is less likely to be gelated during varnishcooking. Furthermore, it can be cold-cut thus the production control of varnish is much easier.
● DCO Z-3 is suitable for white or light color quick-drying enamel, super varnish, insulation varnish, printing inks,
caulking and processing material for reinforcing steel.

Hydrogenated Castor Oil● Hydrogenated castor oil is a white and hard wax with a melting point about 85℃.
● It is compatible with ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate butyrate, natural and synthetic rubber, polyethylene,polyvinyl butyrate, polymethacrylate, rosins, shellacs, botanical wax, and montan wax, etc.
● Hydrogenated castor oil is relatively stable against heat and able to improve resistance against solvent andgrease, as well as hardness and melting point of other waxes by blending together.
● It can be used in cosmetics, grease, shoe cream, polish, crayons and pharmaceuticals.

Castor Oil Fatty Acid （CO-FA）● CO-FA is a fatty acid made by saponifying castor oil and appeared as light yellow liquid with freezing point about5℃.
● CO-FA S is the lighter color grade.
● CO-FA is composed of about 90% of Ricinoleic acid, and the balances are oleic acid (2.5 - 4%), linoleic acid (3.5 5%), palmitic acid (0.5 - 1.5%), stearic acid (0.5 - 1.5%) and dihydroxy stearic acid (0.5 - 1.5%), etc.

● CO-FA and Ricinoleic acid can be used for production of coating resins, metal working oils, plastic additives,surfactants and food additives.

Dehydrated Castor Oil（DCO-FA）● DCO-FA is made through saponification treatment of DCO. It is composed mostly of octadecadienoic acid with
about 35% ratio of the conjugated dienoic acid.
● DCO-FA is used as a denaturant of epoxy ester resin and styrene alkyd resin for high monochrome baking
synthetic resin coating and printing varnish.

12-Hydroxystearic acid● 12-hydroxystearic acid is a hydroxyl fatty acid wax which is obtained by saponifying hydrogenated castor oil.

CH3（CH2)5CH（CH2）10COOH
OH● 12-hydroxystearic acid is compatible with most organic solvents. When a warm nonpolar solvent is refrigerated
with 12-hydroxystearic acid, slight gel appears.
● Lithium salt of 12-Hydroxystearic acid is suitable as a density enhancer of higher multipurpose grease. In addition,
it can be used as a raw material for cosmetic and oleo industry.
