CHEMPOL G-HCO (Hydrogenated Castor Oil), also called Castor Wax, is a hard, brittle, high-melting solid that is tasteless and odorless. It is insoluble in water, and solubility in many organic solvents is also very limited. HCO is available as flakes or powder, which melts to a clear transparent liquid. It is a non-toxic, non-hazardous material used in the manufacturing of greases and lubricants.
