Hydrogenated Castor Oil flakes, also known as castor wax, is a hard, high-melting solid made by fully hydrogenating refined castor oil. Hydrogenation saturates the oil's bonds, turning it into a brittle, wax-like material with excellent thermal and oxidative stability, supplied as white to off-white flakes.

Hydrogenation converts castor oil's unsaturated bonds into a saturated structure, producing a hard, wax-like solid instead of a liquid. Compared with liquid castor oil, HCO offers a high melting point, far better oxidation resistance, longer shelf life, and stable behaviour under demanding conditions.

HCO flakes are used as a thickener and structure-builder in lubricants and greases, as a hardness and texture agent in cosmetics (lipsticks, creams, sticks), and in coatings, inks, polishes, plastics, rubber, and pharmaceutical formulations where structure and temperature resistance are needed.

The flake form allows easy handling, accurate dosing, and uniform melting during processing. Consistent flake size also supports predictable batch-to-batch performance, which industrial users rely on when blending HCO into their formulations.

It prevents oil separation in greases and pastes, improves temperature resistance in finished products, reduces oxidation-related degradation, and helps maintain consistent hardness and structure — giving formulators more stable, reliable end products.

Yes, subject to meeting buyer-specific specifications. HCO is available in industrial, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical flake grades, with supporting documentation. Share your application and target market and we will confirm the right grade and compliance papers.

Yes — samples are available for evaluation and formulation trials, with a Certificate of Analysis per batch. HCO flakes are packed in 25 kg HDPE/kraft bags with inner liner, palletised for export. MOQ typically starts from 1 MT (Metric Ton), dispatched through Mundra Port, Gujarat, India with full export documentation.

Hydrogenation completeness, melting point, and hardness are monitored during production, and each batch is tested, traced, and documented with a Certificate of Analysis. Uniform flake-size control keeps performance consistent across shipments.

The Patel Brothers is a Rajkot, Gujarat based exporter of castor oil and castor derivatives. We supply HCO flakes with consistent melting point and uniform flake quality, a Certificate of Analysis with every shipment, export-ready packaging, and reliable global logistics — backed by responsive support from enquiry through to delivery.
