Epoxidised Soybean Oil (ESBO)
A soybean oil derivative (CAS 8013-07-8) in which the natural unsaturation of the fatty acid chains is converted to epoxide rings. Sold on oxirane oxygen content and iodine value rather than on the specifications that apply to edible oil.
Refined Castor Oil
Refined castor oil is pressed from the seed of Ricinus communis and is the only commercial vegetable oil built mainly on a hydroxylated fatty acid. Ricinoleic acid at 85 to 90 percent gives it high viscosity, polarity and alcohol solubility.
Hydrogenated Palm Wax
Hydrogenated palm wax is fully hydrogenated palm oil supplied in graded melting bands from 42 to 54 degrees Celsius. Saturating the fatty acid chains converts a soft, plastic fat into a firm, opaque vegetable wax with a clean burn and good release.
Hydrogenated Castor Oil
Hydrogenated castor oil, also called castor wax, is castor oil with its double bonds saturated. The result is a hard, brittle, odourless wax melting near 86 degrees Celsius that keeps the hydroxyl groups responsible for its thickening behaviour.
