A renowned supplier of industrial chemicals, Bee Chems supplies hydrogenated castor oil in the form of flakes. The substance is a wax-like compound that is obtained by controlled hydrogenation of refined castor oil. With a high melting point, the compound is hard, brittle, odorless and tasteless. The substance works well with the other oils and waxes in the antiperspirant base to give the stick a firm but spreadable consistency. For solvent-based and solvent-free coatings, the compound is often utilized for flow control and dispersing additive in a micronized form.
