Hydrogenated Castor Oil Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- HCO
- Castor Wax
Hydrogenated Castor Oil supplier for personal-care, pharmaceutical, coating, plastics and industrial-formulation buyers in Malaysia. Also called HCO or castor wax, this hard vegetable-derived wax is distinct from liquid castor oil and from formulated wax blends containing several ingredients.
Commercial forms include blocks, flakes, granules and pastilles for melt processing, plus micronised powder for controlled dispersion. Buyers compare melting range, acid value, hydroxyl value, saponification value, iodine value, colour, moisture and, for powder, particle-size distribution without assuming fixed catalogue numbers.
HCO provides structure, consistency, lubrication, rheology, anti-settling, matting, release and surface modification in balms, sticks, ointment bases, coatings, inks, adhesives, greases and polymer compounds. The selected physical form must suit the formulation and processing method.
Send the required wax or powder form, specification, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Packing, available technical documentation, quotation validity and delivery timing are confirmed for the offered hydrogenated castor oil grade.
- Grade
- wax-solid, micronised-powder
- Appearance
- white to off-white hard waxy solid, flakes, pastilles or fine powder

Common questions about Hydrogenated Castor Oil
Is hydrogenated castor oil the same as castor oil?
No. Castor oil is a liquid triglyceride oil, while hydrogenation converts it into a hard waxy material commonly called castor wax. Their physical form, thermal behaviour and formulation use differ.
Is castor wax another name for Hydrogenated Castor Oil?
Yes. Castor wax is a common commercial name for hydrogenated castor oil. Buyers should still specify whether blocks, flakes, pastilles or micronised powder are required.
What is the difference between HCO flakes and micronised powder?
Flakes, granules and pastilles suit melt processing and general wax handling. Micronised powder has a controlled particle-size distribution for direct dispersion, rheology, matting and surface modification in coatings, inks, adhesives and dry formulations.
Is a formulated castor-wax blend the same as neat HCO?
No. A formulated wax may contain other waxes, oils, resins, surfactants or additives and has its own composition. This page covers hydrogenated castor oil material, not every finished blend that uses it.
Which specifications matter for Hydrogenated Castor Oil?
Buyers commonly compare form, melting range, acid value, hydroxyl value, saponification value, iodine value, colour and moisture. Powder users should also state particle-size and flow requirements. No fixed value is implied by this catalogue page.
Can HCO be requested for personal-care or pharmaceutical formulation?
Application-specific grades may be considered when the buyer supplies the required purity, thermal, composition and documentation criteria. State the exact formulation use and physical form. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
What details are needed for a Hydrogenated Castor Oil quotation?
Provide wax or micronised form, specification, application, quantity and delivery location. Add packing preferences and required technical documents for confirmation with the quotation.
