    Dehydrate Castor Oil

    Uploaded by

    herry
    Dehydrated castor oil is castor oil that has had approximately 5% of its chemically combined water removed, giving it drying properties similar to tung oil. It is a yellow liquid produced by heating castor oil with catalysts like acids. It has various grades that are classified by properties like refractive index, specific gravity, viscosity, color, and acid value. Dehydrated castor oil is used as a binder in paints, enamels, sealants, and inks to provide flexibility, gloss, toughness, adhesion, and resistance to chemicals and water. It can substitute or be combined with resins, oils, and other materials in various coatings. It is supplied in drums or bulk containers

    Dehydrated castor oil (DCO)

    General
    Dehydrated castor oil is a castor oil from which approximately 5% of the chemically combined water
    has been removed. Therefore it has drying properties similar to those of Tung oil. Dehydration is
    carried out by heating the oil in the presence of catalysts such as sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid,
    clays and metal oxides. Dehydrated castor oil is a yellow oily liquid with characteristic odour.

    Applications
    Dehydrated castor oil is an unique drying oil, which imparts good flexibility, fine gloss, toughness,
    adhesion, chemical and water resistance to the dry paint film with non-yellowing properties. DCO is a very
    suitable and even better substitute for Linseed oil. Paints with DCO are super white and offer superior finish.
    Dehydrated castor oil is used as a primary binder for house paints, enamels, caulks, sealants and inks. In
    “cooked” varnishes it is combined with all the basic resins, rosins, rosin-esters, hydrocarbons and phenolics to
    produce clear varnishes and vehicles for pigmented coatings. DCO is also used in the manufacturing of
    lithographic inks, linoleum, putty and phenolic resins.
    DCO is used with phenolics to obtain fast drying coatings with maximum alkali resistance as required
    in sanitary can lining, corrosion resistant coatings, traffic paints, varnishes, ink vehicles, wire enamels,
    aluminium paint appliance finishes and marine finishes.
    DCO is also used to obtain fast kettling rate which gives lighter colour and lower acid varnishes.

    Packing
    Dehydrated castor oil is supplied in:
    • drums (190 kg)
    • bulk (ISO containers)
