PEG‑60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

CanCastor proudly presents PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, a premium and versatile non-ionic solubilizer and emulsifier, skillfully derived from the robust Hydrogenated Castor Oil (HCO). This advanced derivative is meticulously engineered to seamlessly integrate lipophilic substances, such as fragrances, essential oils, and oil-soluble vitamins, into aqueous systems, making it an indispensable ingredient for formulators aiming for clarity, stability, and superior performance in their products.

Unlocking Formulation Versatility with PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil stands out due to its unique chemical architecture: a polyoxyethylene derivative of fully hydrogenated castor oil. The '60' signifies an average of 60 units of ethylene oxide, which transforms the hydrophobic base into a highly effective hydrophilic non-ionic surfactant. This ethoxylation process endows it with exceptional solubilizing and emulsifying capabilities, allowing for the creation of stable oil-in-water emulsions and clear, transparent solutions. It typically appears as a viscous liquid or soft paste at room temperature, easily miscible with water and a wide range of organic solvents. Its robust nature ensures excellent stability across varying pH levels and temperatures, making it a reliable choice for challenging formulations.

Key Benefits for Diverse Industries

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: A cornerstone for sophisticated cosmetic formulations, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil excels as a fragrance solubilizer in transparent toners, micellar waters, aftershaves, and bath oils. It enables the dispersion of active botanicals and essential oils without affecting product clarity. As an oil-in-water emulsifier, it helps create stable creams, lotions, and milk emulsions, while also functioning as a mild co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and cleansers, contributing to a luxurious feel and improved skin conditioning.
• Pharmaceuticals: In pharmaceutical applications, it serves as a critical excipient, providing excellent solubilization for poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its mild and non-irritating profile makes it suitable for topical preparations, oral solutions, and suspensions, enhancing bioavailability and formulation elegance.
• Industrial & Household Solutions: Leveraging its powerful solubilizing and dispersing properties, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil finds utility in various industrial and household products. It is effective in formulating transparent cleaning agents, air fresheners, and textile auxiliaries, where it helps disperse oils, greases, and other hydrophobic substances efficiently.
