NATURAL SOURCES OF PHENOL (CARBOLIC ACID)- C6H6O
Phenol is a constituent of coal tar and is formed during the decomposition of organic materials. Increased environmental levels of phenol may result from forest fires.
It has been detected among the volatile components from liquid manure.
Industrial sources of phenols and other related aromatics from a petroleum refinery, petrochemicals, basic organic chemical manufacture, coal refining, pharmaceuticals, tannery and pulp, and paper mills.

NOMENCLATURE OF PHENOL (CARBOLIC ACID)- C6H6O
Phenols are organic compounds containing at least one -OH group directly attached to the benzene ring.
Depending upon the number of hydroxyl groups attached to the benzene ring, phenols can be classified as monohydric, dihydric and trihydric phenols.

Monohydric phenols – The simplest member of the series is hydroxybenzene, commonly known as phenol, while others are named substituted phenols.
The three isomeric hydroxyl toluenes are known as cresols.
Dihydric phenols – The three isomeric dihydroxy benzenes namely catechol, resorcinol, and quinol are better known by their common names.
Trihydric phenols – Trihydroxy phenols are known by the common names called pyrogallol, hydroxyquinol and phloroglucinol.

SYNTHESIS OF PHENOL (CARBOLIC ACID)- C6H6O
Phenols can be synthesized by the following methods.

1. From sulphonic acids (by alkali fusion of sodium benzene sulphonate)
The first commercial process for the synthesis of phenol.
Sodium benzene sulphonate is fused with sodium hydroxide at 573K to produce sodium phenoxide, which upon acidification yields phenol.


2. From diazonium salts (by the hydrolysis of diazonium salt – laboratory method)
When a diazonium salt solution is steam distilled or is added to boiling dil.H2SO4, it forms phenol.

CHEMICAL REACTIONS OF PHENOL (CARBOLIC ACID)- C6H6O
A hydroxyl group is attached to an aromatic ring and it is strongly activating ortho/para director, phenols possess considerable reactivity at their ortho and para carbons toward electrophilic aromatic substitution.

1. Reactions of the Aromatic Ring
The -OH group in phenol is ortho and para directing because it increases electron density at ortho and para positions due to resonance.
Thus phenol undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions.

2. Halogenation
Like -NH2 group, -OH group is so much activating that it is rather difficult to prevent poly substitution.

If it is required to arrest the reaction at the mono substitution stage, the reaction should be carried out in non-polar solvents like CCl4 and CS2 and at lower temperatures.

PROPERTIES OF CARBOLIC ACID (PHENOL):
Carbolic acid (phenol) is an organic compound appreciably soluble in water, with about 84.2 g dissolving in 1000 mL (0.895 M).
Homogeneous mixtures of phenol and water at phenol to water mass ratios of ~2.6 and higher are possible.
The sodium salt of phenol, sodium phenoxide, is far more water-soluble.

Carbolic acid (phenol) is a combustible solid (NFPA rating = 2).
When heated, Carbolic acid (phenol) produces flammable vapors that are explosive at concentrations of 3 to 10% in air.
Carbon dioxide or dry chemical extinguishers should be used to fight phenol fires.

ACIDITY OF CARBOLIC ACID (PHENOL):
Carbolic acid (phenol) is more acidic than aliphatic alcohols.
Its enhanced acidity is attributed to resonance stabilization of phenolate anion.
In this way, the negative charge on oxygen is delocalized on to the ortho and para carbon atoms through the pi system.

An alternative explanation involves the sigma framework, postulating that the dominant effect is the induction from the more electronegative sp2 hybridised carbons; the comparatively more powerful inductive withdrawal of electron density that is provided by the sp2 system compared to an sp3 system allows for great stabilization of the oxyanion.
In support of the second explanation, the pKa of the enol of acetone in water is 10.9, making it only slightly less acidic than phenol (pKa 10.0).
Thus, the greater number of resonance structures available to phenoxide compared to acetone enolate seems to contribute little to its stabilization.
However, the situation changes when solvation effects are excluded.

Hydrogen bonding:
In carbon tetrachloride and in alkane solvents, phenol hydrogen bonds with a wide range of Lewis bases such as pyridine, diethyl ether, and diethyl sulfide.
The enthalpies of adduct formation and the −OH IR frequency shifts accompanying adduct formation have been compiled.
Carbolic acid (phenol) is classified as a hard acid

Tautomerism:
Phenol exhibits keto-enol tautomerism with its unstable keto tautomer cyclohexadienone, but the effect is nearly negligible.
The equilibrium constant for enolisation is approximately 10−13, which means only one in every ten trillion molecules is in the keto form at any moment.
The small amount of stabilisation gained by exchanging a C=C bond for a C=O bond is more than offset by the large destabilisation resulting from the loss of aromaticity.
Carbolic acid (phenol) therefore exists essentially entirely in the enol form.
4, 4' Substituted cyclohexadienone can undergo a dienone–phenol rearrangement in acid conditions and form stable 3,4‐disubstituted phenol.

For substituted phenols, several factors can favor the keto tautomer: (a) additional hydroxy groups (see resorcinol) (b) annulation as in the formation of naphthols, and (c) deprotonation to give the phenolate.
Phenoxides are enolates stabilised by aromaticity. Under normal circumstances, phenoxide is more reactive at the oxygen position, but the oxygen position is a "hard" nucleophile whereas the alpha-carbon positions tend to be "soft".

Phenol water phase diagram: Certain combinations of phenol and water can make two solutions in one bottle.
Phenol is highly reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution.
The enhanced nucleophilicity is attributed to donation pi electron density from O into the ring.
Many groups can be attached to the ring, via halogenation, acylation, sulfonation, and related processes.

Carbolic acid (phenol) is so strongly activated that bromination and chlorination lead readily to polysubstitution.
The reaction affords 2- and 4-substituted derivatives.
The regiochemistry of halogenation changes in strongly acidic solutions where PhOH2]+ predominates.

Carbolic acid (phenol) reacts with dilute nitric acid at room temperature to give a mixture of 2-nitrophenol and 4-nitrophenol while with concentrated nitric acid, additional nitro groups are introduced, e.g. to give 2,4,6-trinitrophenol.
Friedel Crafts alkylations of phenol and its derivatives often proceed without catalysts.
Alkylating agents include alkyl halides, alkenes, and ketones.

Thus, adamantyl-1-bromide, dicyclopentadiene), and cyclohexanones give respectively 4-adamantylphenol, a bis(2-hydroxyphenyl) derivative, and a 4-cyclohexylphenols.
Alcohols and hydroperoxides alkylate phenols in the presence of solid acid catalysts (e.g. certain zeolite).
Cresols and cumyl phenols can be produced in that way.

Aqueous solutions of phenol are weakly acidic and turn blue litmus slightly to red.
Carbolic acid (phenol) is neutralized by sodium hydroxide forming sodium phenate or phenolate, but being weaker than carbonic acid, it cannot be neutralized by sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate to liberate carbon dioxide.

C6H5OH + NaOH → C6H5ONa + H2O
When a mixture of phenol and benzoyl chloride are shaken in presence of dilute sodium hydroxide solution, phenyl benzoate is formed.
This is an example of the Schotten–Baumann reaction:
C6H5COCl + HOC6H5 → C6H5CO2C6H5 + HCl

Carbolic acid (phenol) is reduced to benzene when it is distilled with zinc dust or when its vapour is passed over granules of zinc at 400 °C:
C6H5OH + Zn → C6H6 + ZnO
When Carbolic acid (phenol) is treated with diazomethane in the presence of boron trifluoride (BF3), anisole is obtained as the main product and nitrogen gas as a byproduct.
C6H5OH + CH2N2 → C6H5OCH3 + N2

Carbolic acid (phenol) and its derivatives react with iron(III) chloride to give intensely colored solutions containing phenoxide complexes.

PRODUCTION OF CARBOLIC ACID (PHENOL):
Because of phenol's commercial importance, many methods have been developed for its production, but the cumene process is the dominant technology.

Cumene process:
Accounting for 95% of production (2003) is the cumene process, also called Hock process.
It involves the partial oxidation of cumene (isopropylbenzene) via the Hock rearrangement:
Compared to most other processes, the cumene process uses mild conditions and inexpensive raw materials.

For the process to be economical, both phenol and the acetone by-product must be in demand.
In 2010, worldwide demand for acetone was approximately 6.7 million tonnes, 83 percent of which was satisfied with acetone produced by the cumene process.

A route analogous to the cumene process begins with cyclohexylbenzene.
It is oxidized to a hydroperoxide, akin to the production of cumene hydroperoxide.
Via the Hock rearrangement, cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide cleaves to give phenol and cyclohexanone.
Cyclohexanone is an important precursor to some nylons.

Oxidation of benzene, toluene, cyclohexylbenzene:
The direct oxidation of benzene (C6H6) to phenol is theoretically possible and of great interest, but it has not been commercialized:
C6H6 + O → C6H5OH

Nitrous oxide is a potentially "green" oxidant that is a more potent oxidant than O2.
Routes for the generation of nitrous oxide however remain uncompetitive.

An electrosynthesis employing alternating current gives phenol from benzene.
The oxidation of toluene, as developed by Dow Chemical, involves copper-catalyzed reaction of molten sodium benzoate with air:
C6H5CH3 + 2 O2 → C6H5OH + CO2 + H2O

The reaction is proposed to proceed via formation of benzyoylsalicylate.
Autoxidation of cyclohexylbenzene give the hydroperoxide.
Decomposition of this hydroperoxide affords cyclohexanone and phenol.

Older methods:
Early methods relied on extraction of phenol from coal derivatives or the hydrolysis of benzene derivatives.

Hydrolysis of benzenesulfonic acid:
The original commercial route was developed by Bayer and Monsanto in the early 1900s, based on discoveries by Wurtz and Kekule.
The method involves the reaction of strong base with benzenesulfonic acid, proceeding by the reaction of hydroxide with sodium benzenesulfonate to give sodium phenoxide.

Acidification of the latter gives phenol.
The net conversion is:
C6H5SO3H + 2 NaOH → C6H5OH + Na2SO3 + H2O

Hydrolysis of chlorobenzene:
Chlorobenzene can be hydrolyzed to phenol using base (Dow process) or steam (Raschig–Hooker process):
C6H5Cl + NaOH → C6H5OH + NaCl
C6H5Cl + H2O -> C6H5OH + HCl
These methods suffer from the cost of the chlorobenzene and the need to dispose of the chloride by product.

Coal pyrolysis:
Carbolic acid (phenol) is also a recoverable byproduct of coal pyrolysis.
In the Lummus Process, the oxidation of toluene to benzoic acid is conducted separately.

USES OF CARBOLIC ACID (PHENOL):
The major uses of phenol, consuming two thirds of its production, involve its conversion to precursors for plastics.
Condensation with acetone gives bisphenol-A, a key precursor to polycarbonates and epoxide resins.
Condensation of phenol, alkylphenols, or diphenols with formaldehyde gives phenolic resins, a famous example of which is Bakelite.

Partial hydrogenation of phenol gives cyclohexanone, a precursor to nylon.
Nonionic detergents are produced by alkylation of phenol to give the alkylphenols, e.g., nonylphenol, which are then subjected to ethoxylation.
Phenol is also a versatile precursor to a large collection of drugs, most notably aspirin but also many herbicides and pharmaceutical drugs.

Phenol is a component in liquid–liquid phenol–chloroform extraction technique used in molecular biology for obtaining nucleic acids from tissues or cell culture samples.
Depending on the pH of the solution either DNA or RNA can be extracted.

Medical:
Carbolic acid (phenol) was widely used as an antiseptic. Its use was pioneered by Joseph Lister
From the early 1900s to the 1970s it was used in the production of carbolic soap.
Concentrated phenol liquids are used for permanent treatment of ingrown toe and finger nails, a procedure known as a chemical matrixectomy.

The procedure was first described by Otto Boll in 1945.
Since that time phenol has become the chemical of choice for chemical matrixectomies performed by podiatrists.

Concentrated liquid phenol can be used topically as a local anesthetic for otology procedures, such as myringotomy and tympanotomy tube placement, as an alternative to general anesthesia or other local anesthetics.
It also has hemostatic and antiseptic qualities that make it ideal for this use.

Phenol spray, usually at 1.4% phenol as an active ingredient, is used medically to treat sore throat.
It is the active ingredient in some oral analgesics such as Chloraseptic spray, TCP and Carmex.

Niche uses:
Carbolic acid (phenol) is so inexpensive that it also attracts many small-scale uses.
Carbolic acid (phenol) is a component of industrial paint strippers used in the aviation industry for the removal of epoxy, polyurethane and other chemically resistant coatings.

Due to safety concerns, phenol is banned from use in cosmetic products in the European Union and Canada.

HISTORY OF CARBOLIC ACID (PHENOL):
Carbolic acid (phenol) was discovered in 1834 by Friedlieb Ferdinand Runge, who extracted it (in impure form) from coal tar.
Runge called phenol "Karbolsäure" (coal-oil-acid, carbolic acid).
Coal tar remained the primary source until the development of the petrochemical industry.
The French chemist Auguste Laurent extracted phenol in its pure form, as a derivative of benzene, in 1841.

In 1836, Auguste Laurent coined the name "phène" for benzene; this is the root of the word "phenol" and "phenyl".
In 1843, French chemist Charles Gerhardt coined the name "phénol".

The antiseptic properties of phenol were used by Sir Joseph Lister (1827–1912) in his pioneering technique of antiseptic surgery.
Lister decided that the wounds themselves had to be thoroughly cleaned.
He then covered the wounds with a piece of rag or lint covered in carbolic acid (phenol).

The skin irritation caused by continual exposure to phenol eventually led to the introduction of aseptic (germ-free) techniques in surgery.
Lister's work was inspired by the works and experiments of his contemporary, Louis Pasteur in sterilizing various biological media.
He theorized that if germs could be killed or prevented, no infection would occur.
Lister reasoned that a chemical could be used to destroy the micro-organisms that cause infection.

Meanwhile, in Carlisle, England, officials were experimenting with sewage treatment using carbolic acid to reduce the smell of sewage cesspools.
Having heard of these developments, and having himself previously experimented with other chemicals for antiseptic purposes without much success, Lister decided to try carbolic acid as a wound antiseptic.
He had his first chance on August 12, 1865, when he received a patient: an eleven-year-old boy with a tibia bone fracture which pierced the skin of his lower leg. Ordinarily, amputation would be the only solution.

However, Lister decided to try carbolic acid.
After setting the bone and supporting the leg with splints, he soaked clean cotton towels in undiluted carbolic acid and applied them to the wound, covered with a layer of tin foil, leaving them for four days.
When he checked the wound, Lister was pleasantly surprised to find no signs of infection, just redness near the edges of the wound from mild burning by the carbolic acid.

Reapplying fresh bandages with diluted carbolic acid, the boy was able to walk home after about six weeks of treatment.
By 16 March 1867, when the first results of Lister's work were published in the Lancet, he had treated a total of eleven patients using his new antiseptic method.
Of those, only one had died, and that was through a complication that was nothing to do with Lister's wound-dressing technique.
Now, for the first time, patients with compound fractures were likely to leave the hospital with all their limbs intact

Before antiseptic operations were introduced at the hospital, there were sixteen deaths in thirty-five surgical cases.
Almost one in every two patients died.
After antiseptic surgery was introduced in the summer of 1865, there were only six deaths in forty cases.

The mortality rate had dropped from almost 50 per cent to around 15 per cent.
It was a remarkable achievement
Phenol was the main ingredient of the Carbolic Smoke Ball, an ineffective device marketed in London in the 19th century as protection against influenza and other ailments, and the subject of the famous law case Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Company.

Second World War:
The toxic effect of phenol on the central nervous system, discussed below, causes sudden collapse and loss of consciousness in both humans and animals; a state of cramping precedes these symptoms because of the motor activity controlled by the central nervous system.

Injections of phenol were used as a means of individual execution by Nazi Germany during the Second World War.
It was originally used by the Nazis in 1939 as part of the mass-murder of undesirables under Aktion T4.

The Germans learned that extermination of smaller groups was more economical by injection of each victim with phenol. Phenol injections were given to thousands of people.
Maximilian Kolbe was also murdered with a phenol injection after surviving two weeks of dehydration and starvation in Auschwitz when he volunteered to die in place of a stranger.
Approximately one gram is sufficient to cause death.

Occurrences:
Carbolic acid (phenol) is a normal metabolic product, excreted in quantities up to 40 mg/L in human urine.
The temporal gland secretion of male elephants showed the presence of phenol and 4-methylphenol during musth.
Carbolic acid (phenol) is also one of the chemical compounds found in castoreum.
Carbolic acid (phenol) is ingested from the plants the beaver eats.

Occurrence in whisky:
Carbolic acid (phenol) is a measurable component in the aroma and taste of the distinctive Islay scotch whisky, generally ~30 ppm, but it can be over 160ppm in the malted barley used to produce whisky.
This amount is different from and presumably higher than the amount in the distillate.

Biodegradation:
Cryptanaerobacter phenolicus is a bacterium species that produces benzoate from phenol via 4-hydroxybenzoate.
Rhodococcus phenolicus is a bacterium species able to degrade phenol as sole carbon source




QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT CARBOLIC ACID (PHENOL):
What is Carbolic acid (phenol) used for?
Carbolic acid (phenol) is so cheap it attracts plenty of small-scale applications.
Carbolic acid (phenol) is a part of industrial paint strippers used for the removal of epoxy, polyurethane, and other chemically resistant coatings in the aviation industry.
Phenol derivatives can be used in cosmetics preparation, including sunscreens, hair colouring, skin lightening preparations, and skin toners/exfoliators.

Is phenol acidic or basic?
Carbolic acid (phenol) can be considered a weak acid.
Carbolic acid (phenol) is in equilibrium with the phenolate anion C6H5O− (also called phenoxide) in aqueous solutions that are within the pH range 5-6.
One reason, for why phenol is more acidic than aliphatic compounds, is that it contains an OH group and the aromatic ring resonance stabilizes the phenoxide anion.

Phenol is an organic compound which is considerably soluble in water, dissolving about 84.2 g in 1000 mL (to form a 0.895 M solution).
Homogenous phenol-water mixtures at phenol to water mass ratios of ~2.6 and higher are possible.
The phenol sodium salt, sodium phenoxide, is much more soluble in water.

Which is known as carbolic acid?
Carbolic acid (phenol) is also known as carbolic acid.
Carbolic acid (phenol) is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C6H5OH.

Significance:
The intrinsic sluggish kinetics of organodisulfides has hindered Carbon disulfide further application in large-scale energy storage.
In this work, we propose a unique redox mediator (carbon disulfide [CS2]) involving reversible C-S bond formation/breakage, which accelerates the reaction kinetics of organodisulfides by reducing about one-third of the energy barrier of sulfur–sulfur bond breakage.
The strategy described here supplies a perspective for enhancing the electrochemical behavior of organodisulfides and greatly facilitates the development of organodisulfides in large-scale energy storage applications.

Abstract:
Organodisulfides (RSSR) are a class of promising active materials for redox flow batteries (RFBs).
However, their sluggish kinetics and poor cyclic stability remain a formidable challenge.
Here, we propose Carbon disulfide as a unique redox mediator involving reversible C-S bond formation/breakage to facilitate the reduction reaction of organodisulfides in RFBs.

In the discharge of RSSR, Carbon disulfide interacts with the negatively charged RSSR-• to promote cleavage of the S-S bond by reducing about one-third of the energy barrier, forming RSCS2Li.
In the recharge, Carbon disulfide is unbonded from RSCS2Li while RSSR is regenerated.
Meanwhile, the redox mediator can also be inserted into the molecular structure of RSSR to form RSCS2SR/RSCS2CS2SR, and these new active materials with lower energy barriers can further accelerate the reaction kinetics of RSSR.

With Carbon disulfide, phenyl disulfide exhibits an exceptional rate capability and cyclability of 500 cycles.
An average energy efficiency of >90% is achieved.
This strategy provides a unique redox-mediating pathway involving C-S bond formation/breakage with the active species, which is different from those used in lithium-oxygen or other batteries.

Carbon disulfide once was manufactured by combining carbon (or coke) and sulfur at 800–1000 °C.
C + 2S → CS2

A lower-temperature reaction, requiring only 600 °C, utilizes natural gas as the carbon source in the presence of silica gel or alumina catalysts:
2 CH4 + S8 → 2 CS2 + 4 H2S

The reaction is analogous to the combustion of methane.

Occurrence in air of Carbon disulfide:
The primary source of carbon disulfide in the environment is emission from viscose plants, around which environmental pollution is especially great.
A scientific review of Soviet literature indicates values ranging from 0.01 to 0.21 mg/m3 around viscose plants.
A recent Austrian study reports that concentrations of 0.05 ppm (157 μg/m3) were often exceeded in the vicinity of viscose plants, even at a distance of several kilometres, and concentrations close to the plants could be 5-10 times higher.

The highest peak concentrations were between 3 and 6 mg/m3.
During soil treatment with a 50% carbon disulfide emulsion for fumigation, carbon disulfide concentration in the respiration zone was found to be as high as 0.03 mg/m3 on the first day.

This concentration decreases quickly, so that carbon disulfide is not detectable the next day.

While, however, reactions of nucleophiles with CO2 are highly reversible and products are only isolated with very strong nucleophiles, the reactions with Carbon disulfide are thermodynamically more favored allowing the formation of products with less reactive nucleophiles.

For example, amines afford dithiocarbamates:
2 R2NH + CS2 → [R2NH2+][R2NCS2−]

Xanthates form similarly from alkoxides:
RONa + CS2 → [Na+][ROCS2−]

This reaction is the basis of the manufacture of regenerated cellulose, the main ingredient of viscose, rayon and cellophane.

The impure carbon disulfide that is usually used in most laboratory and industry processes is a colourless to faintly yellow liquid with a strong, disagreeable cabbage-like odour detectable at 0.016 to 0.42 ppm.
Carbon disulfide is highly refractive.

Slightly soluble in water.
Carbon disulfide is miscible with anhydrous methanol, ethanol, ether, benzene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and oils.

Chemical properties of Carbon disulfide:
Very highly flammable, very low flash point.
Carbon disulfide easily forms explosive mixtures with air and catches fire very easily; Carbon disulfide is dangerous when exposed to heat, flame, sparks, or friction.
Vapours can be ignited by contact with an ordinary light bulb.

Carbon disulfide is incompatible or reactive with strong oxidisers; chemically active metals such as sodium, potassium and zinc; azides; rust; halogens; and amines.
When exposed to heat or flame, carbon disulfide reacts violently with chlorine, azides, ethylamine diamine, ethylene imine, fluorine, nitric oxide, and zinc.
When heated to decomposition, Carbon disulfide emits highly toxic fumes of sulfur oxide; Carbon disulfide can react vigorously with oxidising materials.

Carbon disulfide pure form is a colorless liquid that evaporates readily at room temperature, with a sweet aromatic odor similar to that of chloroform.
In Carbon disulfide impure commercial and reagent form, however, carbon disulfide is a yellowish liquid with a foulsmelling odor.
Carbon disulfide can be detected by odor at about 1 ppm but the sense of smell fatigues rapidly and, therefore, odor does not serve as a good warning property.

Carbon disulfide has a vapor pressure of 297mmHg and solubility in water by weight of 0.3% at 20 °C (68 °F).
Once carbon disulfide is in the air Carbon disulfide will break down into simpler substances within a few days after release

Purification Methods of Carbon disulfide:
Shake Carbon disulfide for 3hours with three portions of KMnO4 solution (5g/L), twice for 6hours with mercury (to remove sulfide impurities) until no further darkening of the interface occurs, and finally with a solution of HgSO4 (2.5g/L) or cold, saturated HgCl2.
Dry Carbon disulfide with CaCl2, MgSO4, or CaH2 (with further drying by refluxing over P2O5), followed by fractional distillation in diffuse light.

Alkali metals cannot be used as drying agents.
Carbon disulfide has also been purified by standing with bromine (0.5mL/L) for 3-4hours, shaking rapidly with KOH solution, then copper turnings (to remove unreacted bromine), and drying with CaCl2.

Carbon disulfide is highly TOXIC and highly FLAMMABLE.
Work in a good fumehood.

Small quantities of Carbon disulfide have been purified (including removal of hydrocarbons) by mechanical agitation of a 45-50g sample with a solution of 130g of sodium sulfide in 150mL of H2O for 24hours at 35-40o.
The aqueous sodium thiocarbonate solution is separated from unreacted Carbon disulfide, then precipitated with 140g of copper sulfate in 350g of water, with cooling.

After filtering off the copper thiocarbonate, Carbon disulfide is decomposed by passing steam into Carbon disulfide.
The distillate is separated from H2O and distilled from P2O5.

This mixture was used to exterminate insects and rodents from entire boxcars of wheat, corn, rye, and other grains.

Grain fumigators can be acutely intoxicated and may be chronically exposed to carbon disulfide.
Therefore, in the late 1980s, all pesticides containing carbon disulfide as an active ingredient were cancelled by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

Carbon disulfide is also used as an insecticide for the fumigation of grains, nursery stock, in fresh fruit conservation and as a soil disinfectant against insects and nematodes.

Methods of Manufacturing of Carbon disulfide:
Carbon disulfide is commercially manufactured by the reaction of sulfur with charcoal or methane.
Ethane, propane, and propene have been used to a limited extent.

Since the methane process was first introduced in the early 1950s, Carbon disulfide has steadily supplanted the older charcoal process, which is no longer a factor in carbon disulfide manufacture in the United States, Europe, and Japan.
In areas where natural gas or methane is not readily available or when plant size is relatively small, the charcoal process still supplies local viscose rayon requirements.

Charcoal-Sulfur Process:
Sulfur vapor reacts with charcoal at temperatures of 750-900 °C to form carbon disulfide.
Sulfur vapor is an equilibrium mixture of several molecular species, including S8, S6, and S2.

The equilibrium shifts toward S2 at higher temperatures and lower pressures.
The overall reaction is endothermic and theoretically consumes 1950 kJ/kg (466 kcal/kg) of carbon disulfide when the reactants are at 25 °C and the products are at 750 °C.
Most of the heat input goes into dissociation of sulfur vapor to the reactive species, S2.

Hydrocarbon-Sulfur Process:
The principal commercial hydrocarbon is methane from natural gas, although ethane, and olefins such as propylene have also been used.

Methane reacts with sulfur essentially without side reactions.
At 400-700 °C, equilibrium exceeds 99.9%.
About 5-10% excess sulfur is usually maintained in the reaction mixture to promote high methane conversion and to minimize by-product yield.

Handling and Storage of Carbon disulfide:

Nonfire Spill Response of Carbon disulfide:
Fully encapsulating, vapor-protective clothing should be worn for spills and leaks with no fire.
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area).
All equipment used when handling Carbon disulfide must be grounded.

Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
Stop leak if you can do Carbon disulfide without risk.

Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.
A vapor-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.

SMALL SPILL:
Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers for later disposal.
Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.

LARGE SPILL:
Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal.
Water spray may reduce vapor, but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.

Formulation or re-packing of Carbon disulfide:
Carbon disulfide is used in the following products: laboratory chemicals.
Release to the environment of Carbon disulfide can occur from industrial use: formulation of mixtures.

Safe Storage of Carbon disulfide:
Separated from oxidants and food and feedstuffs.
Store in an area without drain or sewer access.

Storage Conditions of Carbon disulfide:
Must be stored in airtight drums, handled with precautions, & in summer kept in shade and sprayed with water to prevent pressure developing.
Large quantitie must be stored under water.

Should be kept away from heat, sparks, and flames, and adequate ventilation should be provided.
Storage and handling equipment are generally of conventional carbon steel construction.
All parts of a system, incl piping, valves, and movable containers, must be earth-ground and firmly bonded by good electrical conductors to eliminate the possibility of static charge build-up and spark discharge.

Health effects of Carbon disulfide:
Carbon disulfide has been linked to both acute and chronic forms of poisoning, with a diverse range of symptoms.
Concentrations of 500–3000 mg/m3 cause acute and subacute poisoning.

These include a set of mostly neurological and psychiatric symptoms, called encephalopathia sulfocarbonica.
Symptoms include acute psychosis (manic delirium, hallucinations), paranoic ideas, loss of appetite, gastrointestinal and sexual disorders, polyneuritis, myopathy, and mood changes (including irritability and anger).

Effects observed at lower concentrations include neurological problems (encephalopathy, psychomotor and psychological disturbances, polyneuritis, abnormalities in nerve conduction), vision problems (burning eyes, abnormal light reactions, increased ophthalmic pressure), heart problems (increased deaths for heart disease, angina pectoris, high blood pressure), and reproductive problems (increased miscarriages, immobile or deformed sperm), and decreased immune response.
Occupational exposure to carbon disulfide is also associated with cardiovascular disease, particularly stroke.

In 2000, the WHO believed that health harms were unlikely at levels below 100 μg/m3, and set this as a guideline level.
Carbon sulfide can be smelled at levels above 200 μg/m3, and the WHO recommended a sensory guideline of below 20 μg/m3.

Exposure to carbon disulfide is well-established to be harmful to health in concentrations at or above 30 mg/m3 Changes in the function of the central nervous system have been observed at concentrations of 20–25 mg/m3.
There are also reports of harms to health at 10 mg/m3, for exposures of 10–15 years, but the lack of good data on past exposure levels make the association of these harms with concentrations of 10 mg/m3 findings uncertain.
The measured concentration of 10 mg/m3 may be equivalent to a concentration in the general environment of 1 mg/m3.

Environmental sources of Carbon disulfide:
The primary source of carbon disulfide in the environment is rayon factories.
Most global carbon disulfide emissions come from rayon production, as of 2008.

Other sources include the production of cellophane, carbon tetrachloride, carbon black, and sulfur recovery.
Carbon disulfide production also emits carbon disulfide.

As of 2004, about 250 g of carbon disufide is emitted per kilogram of rayon produced.
About 30 g of carbon disufide is emitted per kilogram of carbon black produced.
About 0.341 g of carbon disufide is emitted per kilogram of sulfur recovered.

Japan has reduced carbon disulfide emissions per kilogram of rayon produced, but in other rayon-producing countries, including China, emissions are assumed to be uncontrolled (based on global modelling and large-scale free-air concentration measurements).
Rayon production is steady or decreasing except in China, where Carbon disulfide is increasing, as of 2004.

Carbon black production in Japan and Korea uses incinerators to destroy about 99% of the carbon disulfide that would otherwise be emitted.
When used as a solvent, Japanese emissions are about 40% of the carbon disulfide used; elsewhere, the average is about 80%.

Most rayon production uses carbon sulfide.
One exception is rayon made using the lyocell process, which uses a different solvent; as of 2018 the lyocell process is not widely used, because Carbon disulfide is more expensive than the viscose process.
Cuprammonium rayon also does not use carbon disulfide.

Historic and current exposure of Carbon disulfide:
Industrial workers working with carbon disulfide are at high risk.
Emissions may also harm the health of people living near rayon plants.

Concerns about carbon disulfide exposure have a long history.
Around 1900, carbon disulfide came to be widely used in the production of vulcanized rubber.
The psychosis produced by high exposures was immediately apparent (Carbon disulfide has been reported with 6 months of exposure).

Sir Thomas Oliver told a story about a rubber factory that put bars on Carbon disulfide windows so that the workers would not jump out to their deaths.
Carbon disulfide's use in the US as a heavier-than-air burrow poison for Richardson's ground squirrel also lead to reports of psychosis.
No systematic medical study of the issue was published, and knowledge was not transferred to the rayon industry.

The first large epidemiological study of rayon workers was done in the US in the late 1930s, and found fairly severe effects in 30% of the workers.
Data on increased risks of heart attacks and strokes came out in the 1960s.

Courtaulds, a major rayon manufacturer, worked hard to prevent publication of this data in the UK.
Average concentrations in sampled rayon plants were reduced from about 250 mg/m3 in 1955-1965 to about 20–30 mg/m3 in the 1980s.
Rayon production has since largely moved to the developing world, especially China, Indonesia and India.

Rates of disability in modern factories are unknown, as of 2016.
Current manufacturers using the viscose process do not provide any information on harm to their workers.

History of Carbon disulfide:
In 1796, the German chemist Wilhelm August Lampadius (1772–1842) first prepared carbon disulfide by heating pyrite with moist charcoal.
He called Carbon disulfide "liquid sulfur" (flüssig Schwefel).

The composition of carbon disulfide was finally determined in 1813 by the team of the Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius (1779–1848) and the Swiss-British chemist Alexander Marcet (1770–1822).
Their analysis was consistent with an empirical formula of CS

6. Transport to a health care facility.

Fire Fighting of Carbon disulfide:
If the vapor concentration exceeds 2 percent by volume or is unknown, self-contained breathing mask with full face should be used by all persons entering contaminated area.
Wear special protective clothing.
Isolate for 1/2 mile in all directions if tank car or truck is involved in fire.

Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or other inert gas.
Cooling and blanketing with water spray is effective in case of fires in metal containers or tanks to help prevent reignition by hot surfaces.
Foam is ineffective.

Burn the paper in a suitable location away from combustible materials.

Large quantities can be reclaimed or collected and atomized in a suitable combustion chamber equipped with an appropriate effluent gas cleaning device.
Carbon disulfide should not be allowed to enter a confined space, such as a sewer, because of the possibility of an explosion.

Environmental considerations:

Land spill:
Dig a pit, pond, lagoon, holding area to contain liquid or solid material.
If time permits, pits, ponds, lagoons, soak holes, or holding areas should be sealed with an impermeable flexible membrane liner.

Absorb bulk liquid with fly ash or cement powder.
Apply appropriate foam to diminish vapor and fire hazard.

Environmental considerations:

Water spill:
Neutralize with agricultural lime (CaO), crushed limestone (CaCO3), or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3).
If dissolved, in region of 10 ppm or greater concentration, apply activated carbon at ten times the spilled amount.
Use mechanical dredges or lifts to remove immobilized masses of pollutants and precipitates.

Disposal Methods of Carbon disulfide:
Generators of waste (equal to or greater than 100 kg/mo) containing this contaminant, EPA hazardous waste number P022, D003, and F005, must conform with USEPA regulations in storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste.

Complete decomposition occurs with heating for 30 minutes at 2608℃.

Dry powder forms of carbomer do not support the growth of molds and fungi.
In contrast, microorganisms grow well in unpreserved aqueous dispersions, and therefore an antimicrobial preservative such as 0.1% w/v chlorocresol, 0.18% w/v methylparaben–0.02% w/v propylparaben, or 0.1% w/v thimerosal should be added.
The addition of certain antimicrobials, such as benzalkonium chloride or sodium benzoate, in high concentrations (0.1% w/v) can cause cloudiness and a reduction in viscosity of carbomer dispersions.

Aqueous gels may be sterilized by autoclaving with minimal changes in viscosity or pH, provided care is taken to exclude oxygen from the system, or by gamma irradiation, although this technique may increase the viscosity of the formulation.
At room temperature, carbomer dispersions maintain their viscosity during storage for prolonged periods.

-The kinetic of the ligation in the cloning of DNA-fragments into bacteriophage M13-vectors can be improved by the inclusion of 5% Carbowax PEG 200.
Especially for the cloning with 'blunt-ended' DNA, the concentration of 'blunt'-DNA-ends plays a crucial role for the successful cloning.
Substances, that increase the so-called 'macromolecular crowding' and condense DNA molecules into aggregates, concentrate the

DNA and increase the possibility, that DNA ends will meet and thereby improve the cloning result.
So, the DNA and enzyme concentration can be reduced.
Besides, such substances reduce the intramolecular ligation (religation).

For 'blunt end' cloning the recommended Polyethylene glycol 8000 concentration is 15%.

Pharmaceutical Applications
CARBOWAX PEG 8000 is widely used in a variety of pharmaceutical formulations, including parenteral, topical, ophthalmic, oral, and rectal preparations.
CARBOWAX PEG 8000 has been used experimentally in biodegradable polymeric matrices used in controlled-release systems.
CARBOWAX PEG 8000 is stable, hydrophilic substances that are essentially nonirritant to the skin;They do not readily penetrate the skin, although the polyethylene glycols are water-soluble and are easily removed from the skin by washing, making them useful as ointment bases.

Solid grades are generally employed in topical ointments, with the consistency of the base being adjusted by the addition of liquid grades of CARBOWAX PEG 8000.
Mixtures of CARBOWAX PEG 8000 can be used as suppository bases,for which they have many advantages over fats.
For example, the melting point of the suppository can be made higher to withstand exposure to warmer climates; release of the drug is not dependent upon melting point; the physical stability on storage is better; and suppositories are readily miscible with rectal fluids.
CARBOWAX PEG 8000 has the following disadvantages: they are chemically more reactive than fats; greater care is needed in processing to avoid inelegant contraction holes in the suppositories; the rate of release of water-soluble medications decreases with the increasing molecular weight of the CARBOWAX PEG 8000; and polyethylene glycols tend to be more irritating to mucous membranes than fats.

Aqueous CARBOWAX PEG 8000 solutions can be used either as suspending agents or to adjust the viscosity and consistency of other suspending vehicles.
When used in conjunction with other emulsifiers, CARBOWAX PEG 8000 can act as emulsion stabilizers.
Liquid CARBOWAX PEG 8000 is used as water-miscible solvents for the contents of soft gelatin capsules.
However, they may cause hardening of the capsule shell by preferential absorption of moisture from gelatin in the shell.
In concentrations up to approximately 30% v/v, PEG 300 and PEG 400 have been used as the vehicle for parenteral dosage forms.
In solid-dosage formulations, higher-molecular-weight CARBOWAX PEG 8000 can enhance the effectiveness of tablet binders and impart plasticity to granules.

However, they have only limited binding action when used alone, and can prolong disintegration if present in concentrations greater than 5% w/w.
When used for thermoplastic granulations,a mixture of the powdered constituents with 10–15% w/w PEG 6000 is heated to 70–75°C.
The mass becomes pastelike and forms granules if stirred while cooling.
This technique is useful for the preparation of dosage forms such as lozenges when prolonged disintegration is required.
CARBOWAX PEG 8000 can also be used to enhance the aqueous solubility or dissolution characteristics of poorly soluble compounds by making solid dispersions with an appropriate polyethylene glycol.

Animal studies have also been performed using CARBOWAX PEG 8000 as solvents for steroids in osmotic pumps.
In film coatings, solid grades of CARBOWAX PEG 8000 can be used alone for the film-coating of tablets or can be useful as hydrophilic polishing materials.
Solid grades are also widely used as plasticizers in conjunction with film-forming polymers.
The presence of CARBOWAX PEG 8000 in film coats, especially of liquid grades, tends to increase their water permeability and may reduce protection against low pH in enteric-coating films.
CARBOWAX PEG 8000 is useful as plasticizers in microencapsulated products to avoid rupture of the coating film when the microcapsules are compressed into tablets.

CARBOWAX PEG 8000 grades with molecular weights of 6000 and above can be used as lubricants, particularly for soluble tablets.
The lubricant action is not as good as that of magnesium stearate, and stickiness may develop if the material becomes too warm during compression.
An antiadherent effect is also exerted, again subject to the avoidance of overheating.
CARBOWAX PEG 8000 has been used in the preparation of urethane hydrogels, which are used as controlled-release agents.
CARBOWAX PEG 8000 has also been used in insulin-loaded microparticles for the oral delivery of insulin;it has been used in inhalation preparations to improve aerosolization;CARBOWAX PEG 8000 nanoparticles have been used to improve the oral bioavailability of cyclosporine;CARBOWAX PEG 8000 has been used in self-assembled polymeric nanoparticles as a drug carrier;and copolymer networks of CARBOWAX PEG 8000 grafted with poly(methacrylic acid) have been used as bioadhesive controlled drug delivery formulations.

Toxicity evaluation
Many years of human experience in the workplace and in the use of consumer products containing CARBOWAX PEG 8000 has not shown any adverse health effects, except in situations where very high doses are administered to hypersusceptible individuals or persons with underlying diseases.

Malonyl CoA is formed there from acetyl CoA by the action of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and the malonate is transferred to an acyl carrier protein to be added to a fatty acid chain.
The carboxyl functional group that characterizes the carboxylic acids is unusual in that it is composed of two functional groups described earlier in this text.
As may be seen in the formula on the right, the carboxyl group is made up of a hydroxyl group bonded to a carbonyl group.

Carboxyacetic acid (Malonic Acid) condenses with urea to form barbituric acid.
Carboxyacetic acid (Malonic Acid) is also frequently used as an enolate in Knoevenagel condensations or condensed with acetone to form Meldrum's acid.

This observation was used to deduce the structure of the active site in succinate dehydrogenase.

Carboxyacetic acid (Malonic Acid)s donate hydrogen ions if a base is present to accept them.
They react in this way with all bases, both organic (for example, the amines) and inorganic.
Their reactions with bases, called "neutralizations", are accompanied by the evolution of substantial amounts of heat.

Neutralization between an acid and a base produces water plus a salt.
Carboxyacetic acid (Malonic Acid)s with six or fewer carbon atoms are freely or moderately soluble in water; those with more than six carbons are slightly soluble in water.
Soluble Carboxyacetic acid (Malonic Acid) dissociate to an extent in water to yield hydrogen ions.

The pH of solutions of Carboxyacetic acid (Malonic Acid)s is therefore less than 7.0. Many insoluble carboxylic acids react rapidly with aqueous solutions containing a chemical base and dissolve as the neutralization generates a soluble salt.
Carboxyacetic acid (Malonic Acid)s in aqueous solution and liquid or molten carboxylic acids can react with active metals to form gaseous hydrogen and a metal salt.
Such reactions occur in principle for solid Carboxyacetic acid (Malonic Acid)s as well, but are slow if the solid acid remains dry.

Generally, there are two steps in manufacturing process of Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium, alkalinization and etherification.

Step 1: Alkalinization
Disperse the raw material cellulose pulp in alkali solution (generally sodium hydroxide, 5–50%) to obtain alkali cellulose.
Cell-OH+NaOH →Cell·O-Na+ +H2O

Step 2: Etherification
Etherification of alkali cellulose with sodium monochloroacetate (up to 30%) in an alcohol-water medium.
The mixture of alkali cellulose and reagent is heated (50–75°C) and stirred during the process.
ClCH2COOH+NaOH→ClCH2COONa+H2O
Cell·O-Na+ +ClCH2COO- →Cell-OCH2COO-Na
The DS of the sodium Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium can be controlled by the reaction conditions and use of organic solvents (such as isopropanol).

Preparation

Carmellose sodium is more stable than metatartaric acid and is very effective in inhibiting tartrate precipitation.
Carmellose sodium is reported that KHT crystals, in presence of Carmellose sodium, grow slower and change their morphology.

Their shape becomes flatter because they lose 2 of the 7 faces, changing their dimensions.
Carmellose sodium molecules, negatively charged at wine pH, interact with the electropositive surface of the crystals, where potassium ions are accumulated.
The slower growth of the crystals and the modification of their shape are caused by the competition between Carmellose sodium molecules and bitartrate ions for binding to the KHT crystals.

Specific culinary uses:
Carmellose sodium powder is widely used in the ice cream industry, to make ice creams without churning or extremely low temperatures, thereby eliminating the need for conventional churners or salt ice mixes.
Carmellose sodium is used in baking breads and cakes.
The use of Carmellose sodium gives the loaf an improved quality at a reduced cost, by reducing the need of fat.

Carmellose sodium is also used as an emulsifier in biscuits.
By dispersing fat uniformly in the dough, Carmellose sodium improves the release of the dough from the moulds and cutters, achieving well-shaped biscuits without any distorted edges.
Carmellose sodium can also help to reduce the amount of egg yolk or fat used in making the biscuits.

Use of Carmellose sodium in candy preparation ensures smooth dispersion in flavor oils, and improves texture and quality.
Carmellose sodium is used in chewing gums, margarines and peanut butter as an emulsifier.

Other uses:
In laundry detergents, Carmellose sodium is used as a soil suspension polymer designed to deposit onto cotton and other cellulosic fabrics, creating a negatively charged barrier to soils in the wash solution.
Carmellose sodium is also used as a thickening agent, for example, in the oil-drilling industry as an ingredient of drilling mud, where Carmellose sodiumacts as a viscosity modifier and water retention agent.

Carmellose sodium is sometimes used as an electrode binder in advanced battery applications (i.e. lithium ion batteries), especially with graphite anodes.
Carmellose sodium's water solubility allows for less toxic and costly processing than with non-water-soluble binders, like the traditional polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), which requires toxic n-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) for processing.
Carmellose sodium is often used in conjunction with styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) for electrodes requiring extra flexibility, e.g. for use with silicon-containing anodes.

Carmellose sodium is also used in ice packs to form a eutectic mixture resulting in a lower freezing point, and therefore more cooling capacity than ice.

Aqueous solutions of Carmellose sodium have also been used to disperse carbon nanotubes, where the long Carmellose sodium molecules are thought to wrap around the nanotubes, allowing them to be dispersed in water.

In conservation-restoration, Carmellose sodiumis used as an adhesive or fixative (commercial name Walocel, Klucel).

Industrial Processes with risk of exposure:
Petroleum Production and Refining
Textiles (Fiber & Fabric Manufacturing)
Painting (Pigments, Binders, and Biocides)
Working with Glues and Adhesives
Farming (Pesticides)

Adverse reactions of Carmellose sodium:
Effects on inflammation, microbiota-related metabolic syndrome, and colitis are a subject of research.
Carmellose sodium is suggested as a possible cause of inflammation of the gut, through alteration of the human gastrointestinal microbiota, and has been suggested as a triggering factor in inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

While thought to be uncommon, case reports of severe reactions to Carmellose sodium exist.
Skin testing is believed to be a useful diagnostic tool for this purpose.
Carmellose sodium was the active ingredient in an eye drop brand Ezricare Artificial Tears which was recalled due to potential bacterial contamination.

Preparation of Carmellose sodium:
Carmellose sodium is synthesized by the alkali-catalyzed reaction of cellulose with chloroacetic acid.
The polar (organic acid) carboxyl groups render the cellulose soluble and chemically reactive.
Fabrics made of cellulose—e.g. cotton or viscose rayon—may also be converted into Carmellose sodium.

Following the initial reaction, the resultant mixture produces approximately 60% Carmellose sodium and 40% salts (sodium chloride and sodium glycolate).
Carmellose sodium is the so-called technical Carmellose sodium, which is used in detergents.

An additional purification process is used to remove salts to produce pure Carmellose sodium, which is used for alimentary and pharmaceutical applications.
An intermediate "semi-purified" grade is also produced, typically used in paper applications such as the restoration of archival documents.

Structure and properties of Carmellose sodium:
The functional properties of Carmellose sodium depend on the degree of substitution of the cellulose structure [i.e., how many of the hydroxyl groups have been converted to carboxymethylene(oxy) groups in the substitution reaction], as well as the chain length of the cellulose backbone structure and the degree of clustering of the carboxymethyl substituents.

Structure:
Carmellose sodium is typical ionic-type cellulose ether and the frequently used product is Carmellose sodium sodium salt, as well as ammonium and aluminum salts.
Sometimes, Carmellose sodium acids can be produced.

When degree of substitution (that is, the average value of hydroxyl groups reacted with the substitution of each anhydrous glucose monomer) is 1, Carmellose sodium molecular formula is [C6H7O2 (OH) 2OCH2COONa] n.
With drying at the temperature of 105℃ and constant weight, the content of sodium is 6.98-8.5%.

Appearance and Solubility:
The pure Carmellose sodium is white or milk white fibrous powder or particles, odorless and tasteless.
Carmellose sodiumis insoluble in organic solvents such as methanol, alcohol, diethyl ether, acetone, chloroform and benzene but soluble in water.
Degree of substitution is an important factor influencing water solubility and the viscosity of Carmellose sodium also has a great effect on the water solubility.

In general when the viscosity is within 25-50Pa•s and the degree of substitution is about 0.3, Carmellose sodiumshows alkaline solubility and while the degree of substitution is over 0.4, Carmellose sodiumshows water solubility.
With the rise of DS, the transparency of solution improves accordingly.
In addition, the replacement homogeneity also has an great effect on the solubility.

Hygroscopicity:
Carmellose sodium equilibrium water content will increase with the rise of air humidity but decrease with the rise of temperature.
At room temperature and average humidity of 80-85%, the equilibrium water content is more than 26% but moisture content in Carmellose sodiums is lower than 10%, lower than the former.
As far as Carmellose sodium shape is concerned, even if the water content is about 15%, there seems no difference in appearance.

However, when the moisture content reaches above 20%, inter-particle mutual adhesion can be perceived and the higher the viscosity is, the more evident Carmellose sodiumwill become.
For these polarized high-molecular compounds like Carmellose sodium, the hygroscopic degree is not only affected by the relative humidity but also by the number of polarity.

The higher the degree os substitution is, that is, the larger the number of polarity, the stronger the hygroscopicity will be.
Moreover, crystallinity also affects Carmellose sodiumand the higher the crystallinity is, the smaller the hygroscopic will be.

Compatibility:
Carmellose sodium has good compatibility with other kinds of water-soluble glues, softeners and resin.
For example, Carmellose sodiumis compatible with animal glues, dimethoxy dimethylurea gel, Arabic gum, pectin, tragacanth gum, ethylene glycol, sorbitol, glycerol, invert sugar, soluble starch and sodium alginate.

Carmellose sodiumis also compatible with casein, Carmellose sodium of melamine- formaldehyde resin and ethylene glycol, urea formaldehyde ethylene glycol resin, methyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), phosphate nitrilotriacetic acid, and sodium silicate but the degree is slightly poorer.
1% Carmellose sodium solution is compatible with most inorganic salts.

Dissociation Constant:
In the giant polymer matrix of Carmellose sodium, there are plenty of electrolyzing groups (carboxymethyl groups).
The acidity is similar to that of acetic acid and the dissociation constant is 5×10-5.
The dissociation strength has an considerable effect on the electrical properties of Carmellose sodium.

Biochemical Properties:
Although Carmellose sodium solution is difficult to get rotten than natural gums, under certain conditions, some microbes enable Carmellose sodiumto get rotten, especially with cellulose and taka-amylase reactions, leading to the decrease of solution viscosity.
The higher the DS of Carmellose sodium is, the less Carmellose sodiumwill be affected by enzymes and this is because the side chain linked with glucose residues prevents enzymolysis.

Since the enzyme action leads to the breakage of Carmellose sodium main chain and generates reducing sugar, in this way the degree of polymerization will decrease and the solution viscosity will accordingly decrease.
The digestive enzymes within human body can have no decomposition on Carmellose sodium and Carmellose sodium has no decomposition in acid or alkaline digestive juice.

USES OF CARNAUBA WAX:
Carnauba wax is a natural plant wax used in many products and applications.
Carnauba Wax has many unique qualities, from how it’s sourced to some of the applications it’s commonly used for.

1. Carnauba Wax Comes From a Unique Source
Carnauba wax comes from the fronds of a carnauba tree, found in Brazil.
The trees’ leaves are dried and beaten to release the wax, which is then bleached or refined for a variety of uses.
This harvesting process doesn’t harm the tree, and because of its source, carnauba wax is categorized as a natural plant wax.
Some also call this product “palm wax” because of its origins.

2. Carnauba Wax Has Various Properties
Carnauba wax is shiny, which is perfect for giving a glossy look to many products.
Carnauba Wax also has waterproofing qualities when applied to certain products.
Carnauba wax is brittle when used alone, so it is often combined with another wax type.
Carnauba wax has a high melting point around 185 degrees Fahrenheit, which helps the substance be a strong and durable natural wax.

3. Carnauba Wax’s Used in Emulsions

BENEFITS OF CARNAUBA WAX:
The best quality carnauba waxes use #1 Grade Pure Brazilian Carnauba Wax.
This is the purest form of wax extracted from Brazilian palm tree Copernicia Cerifera.

Carnauba wax is the hardest naturally according wax and this provides a durable protective coating after application and removal from the finish.
Carnauba wax also creates a slick, smooth surface that helps the exterior of your car to stay clean longer as airborne dirt and pollution are less likely to stick or bond to the surface.

Carnauba wax creates a hydrophobic surface, this means it creates high surface tension and it’s this characteristic that causes water to bead-up and then roll off anytime time it rains taking any accumulated dirt, dust and debris with it.
This high surface tension also makes washing faster and safer as well as making drying the water off the car after the final rinse quicker and easier.



PROPERTIES AND USES OF CARNAUBA WAX:
Carnauba wax has a very high melting point of 82-86 °C (180-187 °F).
Carnauba Wax is harder than concrete and nearly insoluble in water and ethanol.
Carnauba Wax is non-toxic and hypoallergenic.
Carnauba Wax can be polished to a high gloss.



CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF CARNAUBA WAX:
Carnauba wax consists of fatty acid esters (80-85%), fatty alcohols (10-16%), acids (3-6%) and hydrocarbons (1-3%).
Carnauba Wax is around 20% esterified fatty diols, 10% methoxylated or hydroxylated cinnamic acid, and 6% hydroxylated fatty acids.



CARNAUBA WAX PROPERTIES:
The exceptionally high melting point of Carnauba Wax makes it ideal for enhancing the thermostability of cosmetic formulations, which preserves their physical or molecular composition when they are subjected to high heat.
With a natural hardness, luster, and water-proofing quality, Carnauba Wax is reputed to be ideal for addition to candles as well as polishes, such as those for furniture or woods.

Its emulsifying, thickening, softening, and emollient properties make Carnauba Wax a popular hypoallergenic additive to cosmetics such as face creams, deodorants, various categories of makeup, and sun-protectant products.
In these products, Carnauba Wax acts as a natural binding agent that stretches their holding power, which increases the length of time that they remain on the skin or hair.

This also makes Carnauba Wax a popular ingredient in hair products, such as styling waxes, as well as in ointments, which need to remain on the skin for long periods of time in order to facilitate wound healing.
Carnauba Wax combines well with several other waxes from plant, animal, and mineral sources, as well as with various resins, whether natural or synthetic.

In any of these combinations, Carnauba Wax boosts the binding properties of ingredients in emulsions, allowing liquids to bind easily with chemical ingredients, particularly oils.
This helps create products with lasting creamy consistencies.

When applied to formulations for stick products, such as deodorants, lipsticks, or stick foundations, the combination of Carnauba Wax with any of these other waxes helps to boost the density of the lipids.
This in turn allows the products to retain their solid structures when they glide smoothly across the skin.

This easy spreadability is what makes Carnauba Wax ideal for incorporation into makeup, as it keeps the form elastic rather than stiff and this yield gives makeup easy application as well as adjustability.
These properties also make Carnauba Wax an ideal depilatory agent for temporarily removing unwanted body hair.

CASTOR OIL
Castor Oil Castor oil, also known as castor wax, is a hardened vegetable wax produced from pure castor oil through the chemical process of hydrogenation. When hydrogen is introduced to pure castor oil in the presence of a nickel catalyst, the resulting product becomes waxy, highly viscous, and more saturated.Castor oil is an ingredient prevalently found in many cosmetics, varnishes, and polishes. You most likely use it on a daily basis. Unlike pure castor oil, which is said to have a slightly offensive smell, it is completely odorless. Castor oil is also insoluble in water.But why hydrogenate castor oil when the pure oil works so well for so many different applications? What is the purpose of hydrogenating castor oil, exactly? ydrogenated Castor Oil, also known as castor wax, is derived from castor beans (Ricinus communis), which is typically a liquid at room temperature, that has been processed by adding hydrogen to make it more stable and raises its melting point so that it is a solid at room temperature. It is odorless and insoluble in water. Historically, ancient Egyptians used castor oil as fuel for their lamps. Castor oil has also been used as a lubricant in machine and aircraft engines, and is added to certain paints, dyes and varnishes as well. Ingestion of pure castor oil works as a laxative to treat constipation. Castor oil is a hard brittle, high melting point waxy substance with faint characteristic of fatty wax odor and is tasteless. It is compatible with beeswax, carnauba and candelilla wax. It is relatively insoluble in most organic solvents though it will dissolve in a number of solvents and oils at an elevated temperature but on cooling will form gels or a paste like mass. It forms a smooth, stable anionic emulsion with emulsifiers and triethanolamine stearate. It can also be emulsified with a cationic emulsifying agent, making emulsions that are also stable. It is mainly used in plastics, textiles, lubricants etc.As a pharmaceutical grade inactive ingredient, castor oil is used to emulsify and solubilize oils and other water-insoluble substances. A brand name product that contains castor oil is Cremophor and it contains a range of non-ionic polyethoxylated detergents. It was originally developed for use as solubilizers and emulsifiers. This research grade product is intended for use in R&D and development only. Castor oil (castor wax) is also used an extended release agent; stiffening agent; tablet and capsule lubricant. Castor oil has been used as a stimulant laxative to relieve occasional constipation, but it is rarely used today due to gentler and safer alternatives. The purpose of the hydrogenation process is to improve castor oil's melting point, texture, odor, and shelf-life.Once hydrogenated, the resulting castor oil product is comprised of hard, brittle flakes. Castor oil is considered an organic ingredient, as well as a vegan one, as it is vegetable-derived.One application of Castor oil is to improve certain cosmetic products. You can add the flakes to cosmetic formulations until thoroughly melted. In this capacity, Castor oil acts as an emollient and a thickener; increasing the viscosity of creams, ointments, and lotions when their composition is too runny. Castor oil also stabilizes cosmetics that come in stick-form (like lipstick) and increases these products' melting points, making for a more stable product. In part thanks to Castor oil, it's not the end of the world if we leave a tube of red lipstick in a hot car! Castor oil means our lipsticks maintain a solid structure even when they're pushed to the limit, and our deodorant doesn't crumble as we apply it.Castor oil is a hard, waxy substance with a unique structure. It works with the other oils and waxes in the antiperspirant base to give the stick a firm but spreadable consistency. In the baby diaper cream and lotion it provides a protective barrier of the lotion/cream on the skin. In all cases, because Castor oil is insoluble in water, it is not readily washed away. Castor oil is especially present in these types of products when something requires resistance to moisture and oils, such as in polishes, varnishes, and paints. Castor oil, also known as castor wax, is derived from castor beans (Ricinus communis), which is typically a liquid at room temperature, that has been processed by adding hydrogen to make it more stable and raises its melting point so that it is a solid at room temperature. It is odorless and insoluble in water. Castor oil is a hard, waxy substance with a unique structure. It works with the other oils and waxes in the antiperspirant base to give the stick a firm but spreadable consistency. In all cases, because Castor oil is insoluble in water, it is not readily washed away. Castor oil has a long history of safe use in personal care products. PEG 40 Castor oil is the Polyethylene Glycol derivatives of Castor oil, and it functions as a surfactant, a solubilizer, an emulsifier, an emollient, a cleansing agent, and a fragrance ingredient when added to cosmetics or personal care product formulations. Castor oil is soluble in both water and oil and is traditionally used to emulsify and solubilize oil-in-water formulations. Its foam-enhancing properties make it ideal for use in liquid cleansers, and its soothing and softening emollient quality makes it a popular addition to formulations for moisturizers and hair care cosmetics. As a surfactant, PEG 40 Castor oil helps to decrease the surface tension between multiple liquids or between liquids and solids. Furthermore, it helps to remove the grease from oils and causes them to become suspended in the liquid. This makes it easier for them to be washed away and lends this ingredient popularity in facial and body cleansers. As an occlusive agent, PEG 40 Castor oil creates a protective hydrating layer on the skin's surface, acting as a barrier against the loss of natural moisture. Castor oil to cosmetics formulations, it can be blended in its cold state directly into the oil phase at a suggested ratio of 3:1 (PEG 40 Castor oil to oil). Next, this can be added to the water phase. If the formula is cloudy, the amount of PEG 40 Castor oil may be increased for enhanced transparency. Castor oil Raw Material without the medical advice of a physician. This product should always be stored in an area that is inaccessible to children, especially those under the age of 7. Castor oil Raw Material in 1 tsp of a preferred Carrier Oil and applying a dime-size amount of this blend to a small area of skin that is not sensitive. PEG 40 Castor oil must never be used near the inner nose and ears or on any other particularly sensitive areas of skin. Potential side effects of PEG 40 Castor oil include the itching, PEG-30 Castor Oil, PEG-33 Castor Oil, PEG-35 Castor Oil, PEG-36 Castor Oil and PEG-40 Castor Oil are polyethylene glycol derivatives of castor oil. PEG-30 Castor oil and PEG-40 Castor oil are polyethylene glycol derivatives of Castor oil. PEG-36 Castor Oil is a light yellow and slightly viscous liquid with a mild fatty odor. PEG-40 Castor Oil is an amber-colored liquid. PEG Castor Oils and PEG Castor oils are used in the formulation of a wide variety of cosmetics and personal care products. Castor oil is the polyethylene glycol derivatives of Castor oil, and is an amber colored, slightly viscous liquid that has a naturally mildly fatty odor. It is used in cosmetics and beauty products as an emulsifier, surfactant, and fragrance ingredient, according to research. Accordingly, Castor oil is principally 12-hydroxystearic triglyceride. Castor oil (HCO) or castor wax is used in capacitors, coatings and greases, cosmetics, electrical carbon paper, lubrication, polishes, and where resistance to moisture, oils and other petrochemical products is required. Castor wax is also useful as a top coat varnish for leather, wood & rubber. 12-Hydroxy Stearic Acid (12-HSA) is obtained by the hydrolysis of Castor oil, 12-Hydroxy Stearic Acid is a high melting, brittle, waxy solid at ambient temperatures and should be stored away from heat to avoid deterioration. A non-toxic, non-hazardous material, it has limited solubility in many organic solvents and is insoluble in water. It is used in lithium and calcium greases, and in the manufacture of acrylic polymers, as an internal lubricant for plastic mouldings, coatings for automotive, equipment, appliances and architectural applications.

We believe industry leading customer service, delivery and innovation allow us to meet our ever increasing client demands. Castor oil is a wax-like hydrogenated derivative of castor oil. Castor oil has many industrial applications. Castor wax, also called Castor oil, is an opaque, white vegetable wax. It is produced by the hydrogenation of pure castor oil often in the presence of a nickel catalyst to increase the rate of reaction. The hydrogenation of castor oil forms saturated molecules of castor wax; this saturation is responsible for the hard, brittle and insoluble nature of the wax. HCO (chemical name: Castor oil), also known as castor wax, is a very common oleochemical product that has many industrial and manufacturing applications. What is Castor oil? HCO is a hard, wax-like substance extracted from castor oil beans. There is also a petroleum-based formula of Hydrogenated Caster Oil known as PEG-40. The Castor oil chemical formula of this material is C57H110O9(CH2CH2O)n. Hydrogenation refers to a chemical process where an unsaturated compound is combined with hydrogen to produce saturation. In the case of HCO, this increases the oil’s stability and raises its melting point, transforming it into a solid at room temperature.Castor oil is insoluble in water and most types of organic solvents. This makes HCO extremely valuable in the manufacturing of lubricants and industrial greases. However, HCO is soluble in hot solvents. It also has the ability to resist water while retaining its polarity, lubricity and surface wetting capabilities. Castor oil is also an extremely safe, non-toxic material that is suitable for use in personal care products and soaps. To learn more about HCO safety, please review the Castor oil SDS (Safety Data Sheet).Acme-Hardesty is a reliable source for Castor oil. We offer a complete selection of Castor Oil and Derivatives such as Ricinoleic Acid, 12HSA, #1 Castor Oil, HCO and several others. We are known for being one of the largest and oldest Castor Oil importers and distributors found anywhere in the United States. As one of the leading Castor oil suppliers, we can accommodate your company’s Castor Oil needs, whether you require a bulk shipment, a pallet or a full truckload. USES & APPLICATIONS HCO is an extremely versatile oleochemical that has a number of industrial and manufacturing applications:CASE: Because of its excellent resistance to moisture, Castor oil works extremely well as a viscosity modifier, and it also provides significant improvement in grease and oil resistance.Plastics: Castor oil performs the role of a lubricant and release agent for PVC and improves processing, dispersion and grease resistance of sheeted polyethylene. It is also useful in the preparation of various polyurethane coating formulas.Personal Care: There are multiple Castor oil uses in the manufacturing of personal care products, particularly as an emollient and thickening agent in ointments and deodorants, as well as hair care products and certain cosmetics.Waxes: Hydrogenated Caster Oil works as a binding agent in synthetic and petroleum waxes, as it makes the wax harder and more resistant to crumbling.Soaps and Detergents: Castor oil is sometimes used as an emulsifying agent in liquid soaps and detergents to enhance the stability of the liquid formula.Textiles: HCO makes an effective processing agent in various textile manufacturing applications. What does it do? Castor oil is a hard, waxy substance with a unique structure. It works with the other oils and waxes in the antiperspirant base to give the stick a firm but spreadable consistency. In all cases, because Castor oil is insoluble in water, it is not readily washed away. In monolithic tablets, the core is either prepared by direct compression or by wet granulation followed by coating the core with water impermeable materials on all the faces except the face which is in contact with the mucosa. Water-impermeable materials include Teflon, ethyl cellulose, cellophane, Castor oil, and so on. Such a system begins unidirectional drug flow toward the mucosa and avoids drug loss [163]. The results of Kurihara et al. (1996) indicate that Castor oil (HCO)-60 emulsions, when compared with conventional lecithin-stabilized emulsions, are more stable to LPL and show low uptake by RES organs, long circulations in the plasma and high distribution in tumors. Lin et al. (1992) confirmed that Castor oil-60 is a good emulsifier for the preparation of NE with better stability and prolonged and selective delivery properties. Thus, these sterically stabilized NEs could show potential as effective carriers for highly lipophilic antitumor agents to enhance the drug delivery in tumors. This was confirmed by Sakaeda et al. (1994) who found that the rate of selective delivery of Sudan II to liver, lungs, and spleen could be suppressed by using Castor oil-60-based NE. Conversely, the use of saturated MCT in NE was the most effective way to increase blood concentration of Sudan II, resulting in higher distribution to liver, lungs, spleen, and brain (Sakaeda and Hirano, 1995). Furthermore, an o/w-type NE containing Castor oil-60 was shown to be superior in the selective distribution of adriamycin-HCl to the liver and in decreasing concentration in heart and kidney (Yamaguchi et al., 1995). Again, Ueda et al. (2003) reported the effect of using a series of Castor oils having different oxyethylene numbers such as Castor oil10, Castor oil 20, Castor oil 30, Castor oil 60, and Castor oil 100 on the pharmacokinetics of menatetrenone (vitamin K2) incorporated in SO (SO)–based NE in rats. Plasma half-life of menatetrenone after administration as the NE prepared by Castor oil with 10 oxyethylene units (SO/Castor oil 10) was similar to that after the administration as SO/egg yolk phosphatides (SO/EYP), but was shorter than that as the NEs prepared by Castor oils with >20 oxyethylene units (SO/Castor oil 20, SO/Castor oil 30, SO/Castor oil 60, and SO/Castor oil 100). These findings clearly demonstrate that 20 oxyethylene units in Castor oils are the minimum requirement for the prolongation of the plasma circulation time of the incorporated drug in SO/Castor oils NEs. The earlier described studies suggest the involvement of oil or structured lipids in the enhancement of systemic circulation of the NE. Castor oil is a multi-purpose vegetable oil that people have used for thousands of years. It’s made by extracting oil from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant. These seeds, which are known as castor beans, contain a toxic enzyme called ricin. However, the heating process that Castor oil undergoes deactivates it, allowing the oil to be used safely. Castor oil has a number of medicinal, industrial and pharmaceutical uses. It’s commonly used as an additive in foods, medications and skin care products, as well as an industrial lubricant and biodiesel fuel component. In ancient Egypt, Castor oil was burned as fuel in lamps, used as a natural remedy to treat ailments like eye irritation and even given to pregnant women to stimulate labor. Today, Castor oil remains a popular natural treatment for common conditions like constipation and skin ailments and is commonly used in natural beauty products. Here are 7 benefits and uses of Castor oil. 1. A Powerful Laxative Perhaps one of the best-known medicinal uses for Castor oil is as a natural laxative. It’s classified as a stimulant laxative, meaning that it increases the movement of the muscles that push material through the intestines, helping clear the bowels. Stimulant laxatives act rapidly and are commonly used to relieve temporary constipation. When consumed by mouth, Castor oil is broken down in the small intestine, releasing ricinoleic acid, the main fatty acid in Castor oil. The ricinoleic acid is then absorbed by the intestine, stimulating a strong laxative effect. In fact, several studies have shown that Castor oil can relieve constipation. For example, one study found that when elderly people took Castor oil, they experienced decreased symptoms of constipation, including less straining during defecation and lower reported feelings of incomplete bowel movements. While Castor oil is considered safe in small doses, larger amounts can cause abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea (4Trusted Source). Although it can be used to relieve occasional constipation, Castor oil is not recommended as a treatment for long-term issues. Castor oil can be used as a natural remedy for occasional constipation. However, it can cause side effects like cramping and diarrhea and should not be used to treat chronic constipation. 2. A Natural Moisturizer Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid. These types of fats act as humectants and can be used to moisturize the skin. Humectants retain moisture by preventing water loss through the outer layer of the skin. Castor oil is often used in cosmetics to promote hydration and often added to products like lotions, makeup and cleansers. You can also use this rich oil on its own as a natural alternative to store-bought moisturizers and lotions. Many popular moisturizing products found in stores contain potentially harmful ingredients like preservatives, perfumes and dyes, which could irritate the skin and harm overall health. Swapping out these products for Castor oil can help reduce your exposure to these additives. Plus, Castor oil is inexpensive and can be used on the face and body. Castor oil is thick, so it’s frequently mixed with other skin-friendly oils like almond, olive and coconut oil to make an ultra-hydrating moisturizer. Though applying Castor oil to the skin is considered safe for most, it can cause an allergic reaction in some people (6Trusted Source). Castor oil can help lock moisture in the skin. Though this natural alternative to store-bought products is considered safe for most, it can cause allergic reactions in some. 3. Promotes Wound Healing Applying Castor oil to wounds creates a moist environment that promotes healing and prevents sores from drying out. Venelex, a popular ointment used in clinical settings to treat wounds, contains a mixture of Castor oil and Peru balsam, a balm derived from the Myroxylon tree. Castor oil stimulates tissue growth so that a barrier can be formed between the wound and the environment, decreasing the risk of infection. It also reduces dryness and cornification, the buildup of dead skin cells that can delay wound healing (8). Studies have found that ointments containing Castor oil may be especially helpful in healing pressure ulcers, a type wound that develops from prolonged pressure on the skin. One study looked at the wound-healing effects of an ointment containing Castor oil in 861 nursing home residents with pressure ulcers. Those whose wounds were treated with Castor oil experienced higher healing rates and shorter healing times than those treated with other methods (9Trusted Source). Castor oil helps heal wounds by stimulating the growth of new tissue, reducing dryness and preventing the buildup of dead skin cells. 4. Impressive Anti-Inflammatory Effects Ricinoleic acid, the main fatty acid found in Castor oil, has impressive anti-inflammatory properties. Studies have shown that when Castor oil is applied topically, it reduces inflammation and relieves pain. The pain-reducing and anti-inflammatory qualities of Castor oil may be particularly helpful to those with an inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis. Animal and test-tube studies have found that ricinoleic acid reduces pain and swelling. One study demonstrated that treatment with a gel containing ricinoleic acid led to a significant reduction in pain and inflammation when applied to the skin, compared to other treatment methods. A test-tube component of the same study showed that ricinoleic acid helped reduce inflammation caused by human rheumatoid arthritis cells more than another treatment. Aside from Castor oil’s potential to reduce inflammation, it may help relieve dry, irritated skin in those with psoriasis, thanks to its moisturizing properties. Although these results are promising, more human studies are needed to determine the effects of Castor oil on inflammatory conditions. Castor oil is high in ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid that has been shown to help reduce pain and inflammation in test-tube and animal studies. 5. Reduces Acne Acne is a skin condition that can cause blackheads, pus-filled pimples and large, painful bumps on the face and body. It’s most common in teens and young adults and can negatively impact self-esteem. Castor oil has several qualities that may help reduce acne symptoms. Inflammation is thought to be a factor in the development and severity of acne, so applying Castor oil to the skin may help reduce inflammation-related symptoms. Acne is also associated with an imbalance of certain types of bacteria normally found on the skin, including Staphylococcus aureus. Castor oil has antimicrobial properties that may help fight bacterial overgrowth when applied to the skin. One test-tube study found that Castor oil extract showed considerable antibacterial power, inhibiting the growth of several bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus. Castor oil is also a natural moisturizer, so it may help soothe the inflamed and irritated skin typical in those with acne. Castor oil helps fight inflammation, reduce bacteria and soothe irritated skin, all of which can be helpful for those looking for a natural acne remedy. 6. Fights Fungus Candida albicans is a type of fungus that commonly causes dental issues like plaque overgrowth, gum infections and root canal infections. Castor oil has antifungal properties and may help fight off Candida, keeping the mouth healthy. One test-tube study found that Castor oil eliminated Candida albicans from contaminated human tooth roots. Castor oil may also help treat denture-related stomatitis, a painful condition thought to be caused by Candida overgrowth. This is a common issue in elderly people who wear dentures. A study in 30 elderly people with denture-related stomatitis showed that treatment with Castor oil led to improvements in the clinical signs of stomatitis, including inflammation (17Trusted Source). Another study found that brushing with and soaking dentures in a solution containing Castor oil led to significant reductions in Candida in elderly people who wore dentures (18Trusted Source). Several studies have shown that Castor oil may help fight fungal infections in the mouth caused by Candida albicans. 7. Keeps Your Hair and Scalp Healthy Many people use Castor oil as a natural hair conditioner. Dry or damaged hair can especially benefit from an intense moisturizer like Castor oil. Applying fats like Castor oil to the hair on a regular basis helps lubricate the hair shaft, increasing flexibility and decreasing the chance of breakage. Castor oil may benefit those who experience dandruff, a common scalp condition characterized by dry, flaky skin on the head. Though there are many different causes of dandruff, it has been linked to seborrhoeic dermatitis, an inflammatory skin condition that causes red, scaly patches on the scalp. Due to Castor oil’s ability to reduce inflammation, it may be an effective treatment for dandruff that is caused by seborrhoeic dermatitis. Plus, applying Castor oil to the scalp will help moisturize dry, irritated skin and may help reduce flaking. The moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties of Castor oil make it an excellent option to keep hair soft and hydrated and help reduce dandruff symptoms. Castor oil Precautions Many people use Castor oil to treat a variety of issues, either by ingesting the oil or applying it to the skin. Although Castor oil is generally considered safe, it can cause adverse reactions and unwanted side effects in some people. Can induce labor: It’s used by medical professionals to induce birth. For this reason, women at all stages of pregnancy should avoid consuming Castor oil. Can cause diarrhea: While it can be an effective way to alleviate constipation, you may get diarrhea if you take too much. Diarrhea can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Can cause allergic reactions: It may cause an allergic reaction in some people when applied to the skin. First try applying a small amount to a tiny patch of skin to see how your body reacts. Castor oil can cause side effects, such as allergic reactions and diarrhea, in some people. It can also induce labor, so pregnant women should avoid it. The Bottom Line People have used Castor oil for thousands of years as a powerful natural treatment for a variety of health issues. It has been shown to help relieve constipation and moisturize dry skin, among many other uses. If you are searching for an affordable, multi-purpose oil to keep in your medicine cabinet, Castor oil may be a good choice. 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. Castor oil is a very suitable and even better substitute for Linseed oil. Paints with Castor oil 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. Castor oil is also used in the manufacturing of lithographic inks, linoleum, putty and phenolic resins. Castor oil 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. Castor oil is also used to obtain fast kettling rate which gives lighter colour and lower acid varnishes. Castor Oil is a release and antisticking agent used in hard candy pro- duction. its concentration is not to exceed 500 ppm. it is used in vitamin and mineral tablets, and as a component of protective coatings. castor oil is a highly emollient carrier oil that penetrates the skin easily, leaving it soft and supple. It also serves to bind the different ingredients of a cosmetic formulation together. Castor oil is high in glycerin esters of ricinoleic acid (an unsaturated fatty acid). It is rarely, if ever, associated with irritation of the skin or allergic reactions. It is obtained through cold-pressing from seeds or beans of the Ricinus communis (castor oil) plant. Impure castor oil may cause irritation, as the seeds contain a toxic substance that is eliminated during processing. Its unpleasant odor makes it difficult to use in cosmetics. PEG-30 castor oil, -30 castor oil (hydrogenated), -40 castor oil, -40 castor oil (hydrogenated) are emollients, detergents, emulsifiers, and oil-in-water solubilizers recommended for fragrance oils, and for other oils that may be difficult to solubilize. The -40 castor oil version is a powerful solubilizer for solubilizing essential oils and perfumes in oil-in-water creams and lotions. It is similar to Peg-30 castor oil but denser, being a soft paste rather than a liquid. The hydrogenated version is particularly used as a nonionic emulsifier for essential oils and perfumes. Castor oil is widely used in cosmetics, food products, and pharmaceutical formulations. In pharmaceutical formulations, castor oil is most commonly used in topical creams and ointments at concentrations of 5–12.5%. However, it is also used in oral tablet and capsule formulations, ophthalmic emulsions, and as a solvent in intramuscular injections. Therapeutically, castor oil has been administered orally for its laxative action, but such use is now obsolete. Castor oil is used in cosmetics and foods and orally, parenterally, and topically in pharmaceutical formulations. It is generally regarded as a relatively nontoxic and nonirritant material when used as an excipient. Castor oil has been used therapeutically as a laxative and oral administration of large quantities may cause nausea, vomiting, colic, and severe purgation. It should not be given when intestinal obstruction is present. Although widely used in topical preparations, including ophthalmic formulations, castor oil has been associated with some reports of allergic contact dermatitis, mainly to cosmetics such as lipsticks. Castor oil is stable and does not turn rancid unless subjected to excessive heat. On heating at 3008℃ for several hours, castor oil polymerizes and becomes soluble in mineral oil. When cooled to 08℃, it becomes more viscous. Castor oil should be stored at a temperature not exceeding 258℃ in well-filled airtight containers protected from light. Castor oil is a vegetable oil pressed from castor beans.[1] Castor oil is a colourless to very pale yellow liquid with a distinct taste and odor. Its boiling point is 313 °C (595 °F) and its density is 0.961 g/cm3.[2] It includes a mixture of triglycerides in which approximately 90 percent of fatty acid chains are ricinoleates. Oleate and linoleates are the other significant components. Castor oil and its derivatives are used in the manufacturing of soaps, lubricants, hydraulic and brake fluids, paints, dyes, coatings, inks, cold resistant plastics, waxes and polishes, nylon, pharmaceuticals and perfumes. Composition Structure of the major component of castor oil: triester of glycerol and ricinoleic acid Castor oil is well known as a source of ricinoleic acid, a monounsaturated, 18-carbon fatty acid. Among fatty acids, ricinoleic acid is unusual in that it has a hydroxyl functional group on the 12th carbon. This functional group causes ricinoleic acid (and castor oil) to be more polar than most fats. The chemical reactivity of the alcohol group also allows chemical derivatization that is not possible with most other seed oils. Because of its ricinoleic acid content, castor oil is a valuable chemical in feedstocks, commanding a higher price than other seed oils. As an example, in July 2007, Indian castor oil sold for about US$0.90 per kilogram (US$0.41 per pound) whereas U.S. soybean, sunflower and canola oils sold for about US$0.30 per kilogram (US$0.14 per pound). Uses Annually 270,000–360,000 tonnes (600–800 million pounds) of castor oil are produced for a variety of uses. Food and preservative In the food industry, food grade castor oil is used in food additives, flavorings, candy (e.g., polyglycerol polyricinoleate or PGPR in chocolate), as a mold inhibitor, and in packaging. Polyoxyethylated castor oil (e.g., Kolliphor EL) is also used in the food industries. In India, Pakistan and Nepal food grains are preserved by the application of castor oil. It stops rice, wheat, and pulses from rotting. For example, the legume pigeon pea is commonly available coated in oil for extended storage. Traditional medicine Advertisement of castor oil as a medicine by Scott & Bowne Company, 19th century Use of castor oil as a laxative is attested to in the circa 1550 BC Ebers Papyrus,[11] and was in use several centuries earlier.[12] The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has categorized castor oil as "generally recognized as safe and effective" (GRASE) for over-the-counter use as a laxative with its major site of action the small intestine, where it is digested into ricinoleic acid. Although used in traditional medicine to induce labor in pregnant women, there is insufficient evidence that castor oil is effective to dilate the cervix or induce labor. Castor oil, or a castor oil derivative such as Kolliphor EL (polyethoxylated castor oil, a nonionic surfactant), is an excipient added to prescription drugs, including: Miconazole, an antifungal agent; Paclitaxel, a mitotic inhibitor used in cancer chemotherapy; Sandimmune (

CASTOR OIL 40 EO
Castor Oil 40 EO Castor oil 40 EO, also known as castor wax, is a hardened vegetable wax produced from pure Castor oil 40 EO through the chemical process of hydrogenation. When hydrogen is introduced to pure Castor oil 40 EO in the presence of a nickel catalyst, the resulting product becomes waxy, highly viscous, and more saturated.Castor oil 40 EO is an ingredient prevalently found in many cosmetics, varnishes, and polishes. You most likely use it on a daily basis. Unlike pure Castor oil 40 EO, which is said to have a slightly offensive smell, it is completely odorless. Castor oil 40 EO is also insoluble in water.But why hydrogenate Castor oil 40 EO when the pure oil works so well for so many different applications? What is the purpose of hydrogenating Castor oil 40 EO, exactly? ydrogenated Castor oil 40 EO, also known as castor wax, is derived from castor beans (Ricinus communis), which is typically a liquid at room temperature, that has been processed by adding hydrogen to make it more stable and raises its melting point so that it is a solid at room temperature. It is odorless and insoluble in water. Historically, ancient Egyptians used Castor oil 40 EO as fuel for their lamps. Castor oil 40 EO has also been used as a lubricant in machine and aircraft engines, and is added to certain paints, dyes and varnishes as well. Ingestion of pure Castor oil 40 EO works as a laxative to treat constipation. Castor oil 40 EO is a hard brittle, high melting point waxy substance with faint characteristic of fatty wax odor and is tasteless. It is compatible with beeswax, carnauba and candelilla wax. It is relatively insoluble in most organic solvents though it will dissolve in a number of solvents and oils at an elevated temperature but on cooling will form gels or a paste like mass. It forms a smooth, stable anionic emulsion with emulsifiers and triethanolamine stearate. It can also be emulsified with a cationic emulsifying agent, making emulsions that are also stable. It is mainly used in plastics, textiles, lubricants etc.As a pharmaceutical grade inactive ingredient, Castor oil 40 EO is used to emulsify and solubilize oils and other water-insoluble substances. A brand name product that contains Castor oil 40 EO is Cremophor and it contains a range of non-ionic polyethoxylated detergents. It was originally developed for use as solubilizers and emulsifiers. This research grade product is intended for use in R&D and development only. Castor oil 40 EO (castor wax) is also used an extended release agent; stiffening agent; tablet and capsule lubricant. Castor oil 40 EO has been used as a stimulant laxative to relieve occasional constipation, but it is rarely used today due to gentler and safer alternatives. The purpose of the hydrogenation process is to improve Castor oil 40 EO's melting point, texture, odor, and shelf-life.Once hydrogenated, the resulting Castor oil 40 EO product is comprised of hard, brittle flakes. Castor oil 40 EO is considered an organic ingredient, as well as a vegan one, as it is vegetable-derived.One application of Castor oil 40 EO is to improve certain cosmetic products. You can add the flakes to cosmetic formulations until thoroughly melted. In this capacity, Castor oil 40 EO acts as an emollient and a thickener; increasing the viscosity of creams, ointments, and lotions when their composition is too runny. Castor oil 40 EO also stabilizes cosmetics that come in stick-form (like lipstick) and increases these products' melting points, making for a more stable product. In part thanks to Castor oil 40 EO, it's not the end of the world if we leave a tube of red lipstick in a hot car! Castor oil 40 EO means our lipsticks maintain a solid structure even when they're pushed to the limit, and our deodorant doesn't crumble as we apply it.Castor oil 40 EO is a hard, waxy substance with a unique structure. It works with the other oils and waxes in the antiperspirant base to give the stick a firm but spreadable consistency. In the baby diaper cream and lotion it provides a protective barrier of the lotion/cream on the skin. In all cases, because Castor oil 40 EO is insoluble in water, it is not readily washed away. Castor oil 40 EO is especially present in these types of products when something requires resistance to moisture and oils, such as in polishes, varnishes, and paints. Here are 7 benefits and uses of Castor oil 40 EO. 1. A Powerful Laxative Perhaps one of the best-known medicinal uses for Castor oil 40 EO is as a natural laxative. It’s classified as a stimulant laxative, meaning that it increases the movement of the muscles that push material through the intestines, helping clear the bowels. Stimulant laxatives act rapidly and are commonly used to relieve temporary constipation. When consumed by mouth, Castor oil 40 EO is broken down in the small intestine, releasing ricinoleic acid, the main fatty acid in Castor oil 40 EO. The ricinoleic acid is then absorbed by the intestine, stimulating a strong laxative effect. In fact, several studies have shown that Castor oil 40 EO can relieve constipation. For example, one study found that when elderly people took Castor oil 40 EO, they experienced decreased symptoms of constipation, including less straining during defecation and lower reported feelings of incomplete bowel movements. While Castor oil 40 EO is considered safe in small doses, larger amounts can cause abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea (4Trusted Source). Although it can be used to relieve occasional constipation, Castor oil 40 EO is not recommended as a treatment for long-term issues. Castor oil 40 EO can be used as a natural remedy for occasional constipation. However, it can cause side effects like cramping and diarrhea and should not be used to treat chronic constipation. 2. A Natural Moisturizer Castor oil 40 EO is rich in ricinoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid. These types of fats act as humectants and can be used to moisturize the skin. Humectants retain moisture by preventing water loss through the outer layer of the skin. Castor oil 40 EO is often used in cosmetics to promote hydration and often added to products like lotions, makeup and cleansers. You can also use this rich oil on its own as a natural alternative to store-bought moisturizers and lotions. Many popular moisturizing products found in stores contain potentially harmful ingredients like preservatives, perfumes and dyes, which could irritate the skin and harm overall health. Swapping out these products for Castor oil 40 EO can help reduce your exposure to these additives. Plus, Castor oil 40 EO is inexpensive and can be used on the face and body. Castor oil 40 EO is thick, so it’s frequently mixed with other skin-friendly oils like almond, olive and coconut oil to make an ultra-hydrating moisturizer. Though applying Castor oil 40 EO to the skin is considered safe for most, it can cause an allergic reaction in some people (6Trusted Source). Castor oil 40 EO can help lock moisture in the skin. Though this natural alternative to store-bought products is considered safe for most, it can cause allergic reactions in some. 3. Promotes Wound Healing Applying Castor oil 40 EO to wounds creates a moist environment that promotes healing and prevents sores from drying out. Venelex, a popular ointment used in clinical settings to treat wounds, contains a mixture of Castor oil 40 EO and Peru balsam, a balm derived from the Myroxylon tree. Castor oil 40 EO stimulates tissue growth so that a barrier can be formed between the wound and the environment, decreasing the risk of infection. It also reduces dryness and cornification, the buildup of dead skin cells that can delay wound healing (8). Studies have found that ointments containing Castor oil 40 EO may be especially helpful in healing pressure ulcers, a type wound that develops from prolonged pressure on the skin. One study looked at the wound-healing effects of an ointment containing Castor oil 40 EO in 861 nursing home residents with pressure ulcers. Those whose wounds were treated with Castor oil 40 EO experienced higher healing rates and shorter healing times than those treated with other methods (9Trusted Source). Castor oil 40 EO helps heal wounds by stimulating the growth of new tissue, reducing dryness and preventing the buildup of dead skin cells. 4. Impressive Anti-Inflammatory Effects Ricinoleic acid, the main fatty acid found in Castor oil 40 EO, has impressive anti-inflammatory properties. Studies have shown that when Castor oil 40 EO is applied topically, it reduces inflammation and relieves pain. The pain-reducing and anti-inflammatory qualities of Castor oil 40 EO may be particularly helpful to those with an inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis. Animal and test-tube studies have found that ricinoleic acid reduces pain and swelling. One study demonstrated that treatment with a gel containing ricinoleic acid led to a significant reduction in pain and inflammation when applied to the skin, compared to other treatment methods. A test-tube component of the same study showed that ricinoleic acid helped reduce inflammation caused by human rheumatoid arthritis cells more than another treatment. Aside from Castor oil 40 EO’s potential to reduce inflammation, it may help relieve dry, irritated skin in those with psoriasis, thanks to its moisturizing properties. Although these results are promising, more human studies are needed to determine the effects of Castor oil 40 EO on inflammatory conditions. Castor oil 40 EO is high in ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid that has been shown to help reduce pain and inflammation in test-tube and animal studies. 5. Reduces Acne Acne is a skin condition that can cause blackheads, pus-filled pimples and large, painful bumps on the face and body. It’s most common in teens and young adults and can negatively impact self-esteem. Castor oil 40 EO has several qualities that may help reduce acne symptoms. Inflammation is thought to be a factor in the development and severity of acne, so applying Castor oil 40 EO to the skin may help reduce inflammation-related symptoms. Acne is also associated with an imbalance of certain types of bacteria normally found on the skin, including Staphylococcus aureus. Castor oil 40 EO has antimicrobial properties that may help fight bacterial overgrowth when applied to the skin. One test-tube study found that Castor oil 40 EO extract showed considerable antibacterial power, inhibiting the growth of several bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus. Castor oil 40 EO is also a natural moisturizer, so it may help soothe the inflamed and irritated skin typical in those with acne. Castor oil 40 EO helps fight inflammation, reduce bacteria and soothe irritated skin, all of which can be helpful for those looking for a natural acne remedy. 6. Fights Fungus Candida albicans is a type of fungus that commonly causes dental issues like plaque overgrowth, gum infections and root canal infections. Castor oil 40 EO has antifungal properties and may help fight off Candida, keeping the mouth healthy. One test-tube study found that Castor oil 40 EO eliminated Candida albicans from contaminated human tooth roots. Castor oil 40 EO may also help treat denture-related stomatitis, a painful condition thought to be caused by Candida overgrowth. This is a common issue in elderly people who wear dentures. A study in 30 elderly people with denture-related stomatitis showed that treatment with Castor oil 40 EO led to improvements in the clinical signs of stomatitis, including inflammation (17Trusted Source). Another study found that brushing with and soaking dentures in a solution containing Castor oil 40 EO led to significant reductions in Candida in elderly people who wore dentures (18Trusted Source). Several studies have shown that Castor oil 40 EO may help fight fungal infections in the mouth caused by Candida albicans. 7. Keeps Your Hair and Scalp Healthy Many people use Castor oil 40 EO as a natural hair conditioner. Dry or damaged hair can especially benefit from an intense moisturizer like Castor oil 40 EO. Applying fats like Castor oil 40 EO to the hair on a regular basis helps lubricate the hair shaft, increasing flexibility and decreasing the chance of breakage. Castor oil 40 EO may benefit those who experience dandruff, a common scalp condition characterized by dry, flaky skin on the head. Though there are many different causes of dandruff, it has been linked to seborrhoeic dermatitis, an inflammatory skin condition that causes red, scaly patches on the scalp. Due to Castor oil 40 EO’s ability to reduce inflammation, it may be an effective treatment for dandruff that is caused by seborrhoeic dermatitis. Plus, applying Castor oil 40 EO to the scalp will help moisturize dry, irritated skin and may help reduce flaking. The moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties of Castor oil 40 EO make it an excellent option to keep hair soft and hydrated and help reduce dandruff symptoms. Castor oil 40 EO, also known as castor wax, is derived from castor beans (Ricinus communis), which is typically a liquid at room temperature, that has been processed by adding hydrogen to make it more stable and raises its melting point so that it is a solid at room temperature. It is odorless and insoluble in water. Castor oil 40 EO is a hard, waxy substance with a unique structure. It works with the other oils and waxes in the antiperspirant base to give the stick a firm but spreadable consistency. In all cases, because Castor oil 40 EO is insoluble in water, it is not readily washed away. Castor oil 40 EO has a long history of safe use in personal care products. PEG 40 Castor oil 40 EO is the Polyethylene Glycol derivatives of Castor oil 40 EO, and it functions as a surfactant, a solubilizer, an emulsifier, an emollient, a cleansing agent, and a fragrance ingredient when added to cosmetics or personal care product formulations. Castor oil 40 EO is soluble in both water and oil and is traditionally used to emulsify and solubilize oil-in-water formulations. Its foam-enhancing properties make it ideal for use in liquid cleansers, and its soothing and softening emollient quality makes it a popular addition to formulations for moisturizers and hair care cosmetics. As a surfactant, PEG 40 Castor oil 40 EO helps to decrease the surface tension between multiple liquids or between liquids and solids. Furthermore, it helps to remove the grease from oils and causes them to become suspended in the liquid. This makes it easier for them to be washed away and lends this ingredient popularity in facial and body cleansers. As an occlusive agent, PEG 40 Castor oil 40 EO creates a protective hydrating layer on the skin's surface, acting as a barrier against the loss of natural moisture. Castor oil 40 EO to cosmetics formulations, it can be blended in its cold state directly into the oil phase at a suggested ratio of 3:1 (PEG 40 Castor oil 40 EO to oil). Next, this can be added to the water phase. If the formula is cloudy, the amount of PEG 40 Castor oil 40 EO may be increased for enhanced transparency. Castor wax is also useful as a top coat varnish for leather, wood & rubber. 12-Hydroxy Stearic Acid (12-HSA) is obtained by the hydrolysis of Castor oil 40 EO, 12-Hydroxy Stearic Acid is a high melting, brittle, waxy solid at ambient temperatures and should be stored away from heat to avoid deterioration. A non-toxic, non-hazardous material, it has limited solubility in many organic solvents and is insoluble in water. It is used in lithium and calcium greases, and in the manufacture of acrylic polymers, as an internal lubricant for plastic mouldings, coatings for automotive, equipment, appliances and architectural applications. We are proud to boast industry leading products suitable for a wide array of application and product requirements. We believe industry leading customer service, delivery and innovation allow us to meet our ever increasing client demands. Castor oil 40 EO is a wax-like hydrogenated derivative of Castor oil 40 EO. Castor oil 40 EO has many industrial applications. Castor wax, also called Castor oil 40 EO, is an opaque, white vegetable wax. It is produced by the hydrogenation of pure Castor oil 40 EO often in the presence of a nickel catalyst to increase the rate of reaction. The hydrogenation of Castor oil 40 EO forms saturated molecules of castor wax; this saturation is responsible for the hard, brittle and insoluble nature of the wax. HCO (chemical name: Castor oil 40 EO), also known as castor wax, is a very common oleochemical product that has many industrial and manufacturing applications. What is Castor oil 40 EO? HCO is a hard, wax-like substance extracted from Castor oil 40 EO beans. There is also a petroleum-based formula of Hydrogenated Caster Oil known as PEG-40. The Castor oil 40 EO chemical formula of this material is C57H110O9(CH2CH2O)n. Hydrogenation refers to a chemical process where an unsaturated compound is combined with hydrogen to produce saturation. In the case of HCO, this increases the oil’s stability and raises its melting point, transforming it into a solid at room temperature.Castor oil 40 EO is insoluble in water and most types of organic solvents. This makes HCO extremely valuable in the manufacturing of lubricants and industrial greases. However, HCO is soluble in hot solvents. It also has the ability to resist water while retaining its polarity, lubricity and surface wetting capabilities. Castor oil 40 EO is also an extremely safe, non-toxic material that is suitable for use in personal care products and soaps. To learn more about HCO safety, please review the Castor oil 40 EO SDS (Safety Data Sheet).Acme-Hardesty is a reliable source for Castor oil 40 EO. We offer a complete selection of Castor oil 40 EO and Derivatives such as Ricinoleic Acid, 12HSA, #1 Castor oil 40 EO, HCO and several others. We are known for being one of the largest and oldest Castor oil 40 EO importers and distributors found anywhere in the United States. As one of the leading Castor oil 40 EO suppliers, we can accommodate your company’s Castor oil 40 EO needs, whether you require a bulk shipment, a pallet or a full truckload. USES & APPLICATIONS HCO is an extremely versatile oleochemical that has a number of industrial and manufacturing applications:CASE: Because of its excellent resistance to moisture, Castor oil 40 EO works extremely well as a viscosity modifier, and it also provides significant improvement in grease and oil resistance.Plastics: Castor oil 40 EO performs the role of a lubricant and release agent for PVC and improves processing, dispersion and grease resistance of sheeted polyethylene. It is also useful in the preparation of various polyurethane coating formulas.Personal Care: There are multiple Castor oil 40 EO uses in the manufacturing of personal care products, particularly as an emollient and thickening agent in ointments and deodorants, as well as hair care products and certain cosmetics.Waxes: Hydrogenated Caster Oil works as a binding agent in synthetic and petroleum waxes, as it makes the wax harder and more resistant to crumbling.Soaps and Detergents: Castor oil 40 EO is sometimes used as an emulsifying agent in liquid soaps and detergents to enhance the stability of the liquid formula.Textiles: HCO makes an effective processing agent in various textile manufacturing applications. What does it do? Castor oil 40 EO is a hard, waxy substance with a unique structure. It works with the other oils and waxes in the antiperspirant base to give the stick a firm but spreadable consistency. In all cases, because Castor oil 40 EO is insoluble in water, it is not readily washed away. In monolithic tablets, the core is either prepared by direct compression or by wet granulation followed by coating the core with water impermeable materials on all the faces except the face which is in contact with the mucosa. Water-impermeable materials include Teflon, ethyl cellulose, cellophane, Castor oil 40 EO, and so on. Such a system begins unidirectional drug flow toward the mucosa and avoids drug loss [163]. The results of Kurihara et al. (1996) indicate that Castor oil 40 EO (HCO)-60 emulsions, when compared with conventional lecithin-stabilized emulsions, are more stable to LPL and show low uptake by RES organs, long circulations in the plasma and high distribution in tumors. Lin et al. (1992) confirmed that Castor oil 40 EO-60 is a good emulsifier for the preparation of NE with better stability and prolonged and selective delivery properties. Thus, these sterically stabilized NEs could show potential as effective carriers for highly lipophilic antitumor agents to enhance the drug delivery in tumors. This was confirmed by Sakaeda et al. (1994) who found that the rate of selective delivery of Sudan II to liver, lungs, and spleen could be suppressed by using Castor oil 40 EO-60-based NE. Conversely, the use of saturated MCT in NE was the most effective way to increase blood concentration of Sudan II, resulting in higher distribution to liver, lungs, spleen, and brain (Sakaeda and Hirano, 1995). Furthermore, an o/w-type NE containing Castor oil 40 EO-60 was shown to be superior in the selective distribution of adriamycin-HCl to the liver and in decreasing concentration in heart and kidney (Yamaguchi et al., 1995). Again, Ueda et al. (2003) reported the effect of using a series of Castor oil 40 EOs having different oxyethylene numbers such as Castor oil 40 EO10, Castor oil 40 EO 20, Castor oil 40 EO 30, Castor oil 40 EO 60, and Castor oil 40 EO 100 on the pharmacokinetics of menatetrenone (vitamin K2) incorporated in SO (SO)–based NE in rats. Plasma half-life of menatetrenone after administration as the NE prepared by Castor oil 40 EO with 10 oxyethylene units (SO/Castor oil 40 EO 10) was similar to that after the administration as SO/egg yolk phosphatides (SO/EYP), but was shorter than that as the NEs prepared by Castor oil 40 EOs with >20 oxyethylene units (SO/Castor oil 40 EO 20, SO/Castor oil 40 EO 30, SO/Castor oil 40 EO 60, and SO/Castor oil 40 EO 100). These findings clearly demonstrate that 20 oxyethylene units in Castor oil 40 EOs are the minimum requirement for the prolongation of the plasma circulation time of the incorporated drug in SO/Castor oil 40 EOs NEs. The earlier described studies suggest the involvement of oil or structured lipids in the enhancement of systemic circulation of the NE. Castor oil 40 EO is a multi-purpose vegetable oil that people have used for thousands of years. It’s made by extracting oil from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant. These seeds, which are known as castor beans, contain a toxic enzyme called ricin. However, the heating process that Castor oil 40 EO undergoes deactivates it, allowing the oil to be used safely. Castor oil 40 EO has a number of medicinal, industrial and pharmaceutical uses. It’s commonly used as an additive in foods, medications and skin care products, as well as an industrial lubricant and biodiesel fuel component. In ancient Egypt, Castor oil 40 EO was burned as fuel in lamps, used as a natural remedy to treat ailments like eye irritation and even given to pregnant women to stimulate labor. Today, Castor oil 40 EO remains a popular natural treatment for common conditions like constipation and skin ailments and is commonly used in natural beauty products. Castor oil 40 EO Precautions Many people use Castor oil 40 EO to treat a variety of issues, either by ingesting the oil or applying it to the skin. Although Castor oil 40 EO is generally considered safe, it can cause adverse reactions and unwanted side effects in some people. Can induce labor: It’s used by medical professionals to induce birth. For this reason, women at all stages of pregnancy should avoid consuming Castor oil 40 EO. Can cause diarrhea: While it can be an effective way to alleviate constipation, you may get diarrhea if you take too much. Diarrhea can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Can cause allergic reactions: It may cause an allergic reaction in some people when applied to the skin. First try applying a small amount to a tiny patch of skin to see how your body reacts. Castor oil 40 EO can cause side effects, such as allergic reactions and diarrhea, in some people. It can also induce labor, so pregnant women should avoid it. The Bottom Line People have used Castor oil 40 EO for thousands of years as a powerful natural treatment for a variety of health issues. It has been shown to help relieve constipation and moisturize dry skin, among many other uses. If you are searching for an affordable, multi-purpose oil to keep in your medicine cabinet, Castor oil 40 EO may be a good choice. Dehydrated Castor oil 40 EO 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. Castor oil 40 EO is a very suitable and even better substitute for Linseed oil. Paints with Castor oil 40 EO are super white and offer superior finish. Dehydrated Castor oil 40 EO 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. Castor oil 40 EO is also used in the manufacturing of lithographic inks, linoleum, putty and phenolic resins. Castor oil 40 EO 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. Castor oil 40 EO is also used to obtain fast kettling rate which gives lighter colour and lower acid varnishes. Castor oil 40 EO is a release and antisticking agent used in hard candy pro- duction. its concentration is not to exceed 500 ppm. it is used in vitamin and mineral tablets, and as a component of protective coatings. Castor oil 40 EO is a highly emollient carrier oil that penetrates the skin easily, leaving it soft and supple. It also serves to bind the different ingredients of a cosmetic formulation together. Castor oil 40 EO is high in glycerin esters of ricinoleic acid (an unsaturated fatty acid). It is rarely, if ever, associated with irritation of the skin or allergic reactions. It is obtained through cold-pressing from seeds or beans of the Ricinus communis (Castor oil 40 EO) plant. Impure Castor oil 40 EO may cause irritation, as the seeds contain a toxic substance that is eliminated during processing. Its unpleasant odor makes it difficult to use in cosmetics. PEG-30 Castor oil 40 EO, -30 Castor oil 40 EO (hydrogenated), -40 Castor oil 40 EO, -40 Castor oil 40 EO (hydrogenated) are emollients, detergents, emulsifiers, and oil-in-water solubilizers recommended for fragrance oils, and for other oils that may be difficult to solubilize. The -40 Castor oil 40 EO version is a powerful solubilizer for solubilizing essential oils and perfumes in oil-in-water creams and lotions. It is similar to Peg-30 Castor oil 40 EO but denser, being a soft paste rather than a liquid. The hydrogenated version is particularly used as a nonionic emulsifier for essential oils and perfumes. Castor oil 40 EO is widely used in cosmetics, food products, and pharmaceutical formulations. In pharmaceutical formulations, Castor oil 40 EO is most commonly used in topical creams and ointments at concentrations of 5–12.5%. However, it is also used in oral tablet and capsule formulations, ophthalmic emulsions, and as a solvent in intramuscular injections. Therapeutically, Castor oil 40 EO has been administered orally for its laxative action, but such use is now obsolete. Castor oil 40 EO is used in cosmetics and foods and orally, parenterally, and topically in pharmaceutical formulations. It is generally regarded as a relatively nontoxic and nonirritant material when used as an excipient. Castor oil 40 EO has been used therapeutically as a laxative and oral administration of large quantities may cause nausea, vomiting, colic, and severe purgation. It should not be given when intestinal obstruction is present. Although widely used in topical preparations, including ophthalmic formulations, Castor oil 40 EO has been associated with some reports of allergic contact dermatitis, mainly to cosmetics such as lipsticks. Castor oil 40 EO is stable and does not turn rancid unless subjected to excessive heat. On heating at 3008℃ for several hours, Castor oil 40 EO polymerizes and becomes soluble in mineral oil. When cooled to 08℃, it becomes more viscous. Castor oil 40 EO should be stored at a temperature not exceeding 258℃ in well-filled airtight containers protected from light. Castor oil 40 EO is a vegetable oil pressed from castor beans.[1] Castor oil 40 EO is a colourless to very pale yellow liquid with a distinct taste and odor. Its boiling point is 313 °C (595 °F) and its density is 0.961 g/cm3.[2] It includes a mixture of triglycerides in which approximately 90 percent of fatty acid chains are ricinoleates. Oleate and linoleates are the other significant components. Castor oil 40 EO and its derivatives are used in the manufacturing of soaps, lubricants, hydraulic and brake fluids, paints, dyes, coatings, inks, cold resistant plastics, waxes and polishes, nylon, pharmaceuticals and perfumes. Composition Structure of the major component of Castor oil 40 EO: triester of glycerol and ricinoleic acid Castor oil 40 EO is well known as a source of ricinoleic acid, a monounsaturated, 18-carbon fatty acid. Among fatty acids, ricinoleic acid is unusual in that it has a hydroxyl functional group on the 12th carbon. This functional group causes ricinoleic acid (and Castor oil 40 EO) to be more polar than most fats. The chemical reactivity of the alcohol group also allows chemical derivatization that is not possible with most other seed oils. Because of its ricinoleic acid content, Castor oil 40 EO is a valuable chemical in feedstocks, commanding a higher price than other seed oils. As an example, in July 2007, Indian Castor oil 40 EO sold for about US$0.90 per kilogram (US$0.41 per pound) whereas U.S. soybean, sunflower and canola oils sold for about US$0.30 per kilogram (US$0.14 per pound). Traditional medicine Advertisement of Castor oil 40 EO as a medicine by Scott & Bowne Company, 19th century Use of Castor oil 40 EO as a laxative is attested to in the circa 1550 BC Ebers Papyrus,[11] and was in use several centuries earlier.[12] The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has categorized Castor oil 40 EO as "generally recognized as safe and effective" (GRASE) for over-the-counter use as a laxative with its major site of action the small intestine, where it is digested into ricinoleic acid. Although used in traditional medicine to induce labor in pregnant women, there is insufficient evidence that Castor oil 40 EO is effective to dilate the cervix or induce labor. Castor oil 40 EO, or a Castor oil 40 EO derivative such as Kolliphor EL (polyethoxylated Castor oil 40 EO, a nonionic surfactant), is an excipient added to prescription drugs, including: Miconazole, an antifungal agent; Paclitaxel, a mitotic inhibitor used in cancer chemotherapy; Sandimmune (cyclosporine injection, USP), an immunosuppressant drug widely used in connection with organ transplant to reduce the activity of the patient's immune system; Nelfinavir mesylate, an HIV protease inhibitor; Tacrolimus, an immunosuppressive drug (contains HCO-60, polyoxyl 60 hydrogenated Castor oil 40 EO); Xenaderm ointment, a topical treatment for skin ulcers, is a combination of Balsam of Peru, Castor oil 40 EO, and trypsin; Aci-Jel (composed of ricinoleic acid from Castor oil 40 EO, with acetic acid and oxyquinoline), used to maintain the acidity of the vagina; Optive Plus (carboxymethylcellulose, Castor oil 40 EO) and Refresh Ultra (glycerine, Castor oil 40 EO), artificial tears to treat dry eye; Castor oil 40 EO is also one of the components of Vishnevsky liniment. Uses Annually 270,000–360,000 tonnes (600–800 million pounds) of Castor oil 40 EO are produced for a variety of uses. Food and preservative In the food industry, food grade Castor oil 40 EO is used in food additives, flavorings, candy (e.g., polyglycerol polyricinoleate or PGPR in chocolate), as a mold inhibito
CASTOR OIL ETHOXYLATE
Castor Oil Ethoxylate Castor oil ethoxylate, also known as castor wax, is a hardened vegetable wax produced from pure Castor oil ethoxylate through the chemical process of hydrogenation. When hydrogen is introduced to pure Castor oil ethoxylate in the presence of a nickel catalyst, the resulting product becomes waxy, highly viscous, and more saturated.Castor oil ethoxylate is an ingredient prevalently found in many cosmetics, varnishes, and polishes. You most likely use it on a daily basis. Unlike pure Castor oil ethoxylate, which is said to have a slightly offensive smell, it is completely odorless. Castor oil ethoxylate is also insoluble in water.But why hydrogenate Castor oil ethoxylate when the pure oil works so well for so many different applications? What is the purpose of hydrogenating Castor oil ethoxylate, exactly? ydrogenated Castor oil ethoxylate, also known as castor wax, is derived from castor beans (Ricinus communis), which is typically a liquid at room temperature, that has been processed by adding hydrogen to make it more stable and raises its melting point so that it is a solid at room temperature. It is odorless and insoluble in water. Historically, ancient Egyptians used Castor oil ethoxylate as fuel for their lamps. Castor oil ethoxylate has also been used as a lubricant in machine and aircraft engines, and is added to certain paints, dyes and varnishes as well. Ingestion of pure Castor oil ethoxylate works as a laxative to treat constipation. Castor oil ethoxylate is a hard brittle, high melting point waxy substance with faint characteristic of fatty wax odor and is tasteless. It is compatible with beeswax, carnauba and candelilla wax. It is relatively insoluble in most organic solvents though it will dissolve in a number of solvents and oils at an elevated temperature but on cooling will form gels or a paste like mass. It forms a smooth, stable anionic emulsion with emulsifiers and triethanolamine stearate. It can also be emulsified with a cationic emulsifying agent, making emulsions that are also stable. It is mainly used in plastics, textiles, lubricants etc.As a pharmaceutical grade inactive ingredient, Castor oil ethoxylate is used to emulsify and solubilize oils and other water-insoluble substances. Display Name: Castor oil, ethoxylated EC Number: 500-151-7 EC Name: Castor oil, ethoxylated CAS Number: 61791-12-6 Molecular formula: C57H104O9(CH2CH2O)n IUPAC Name: Castor oil, ethoxylated A brand name product that contains Castor oil ethoxylate is Cremophor and it contains a range of non-ionic polyethoxylated detergents. It was originally developed for use as solubilizers and emulsifiers. This research grade product is intended for use in R&D and development only. Castor oil ethoxylate (castor wax) is also used an extended release agent; stiffening agent; tablet and capsule lubricant. Castor oil ethoxylate has been used as a stimulant laxative to relieve occasional constipation, but it is rarely used today due to gentler and safer alternatives. The purpose of the hydrogenation process is to improve Castor oil ethoxylate's melting point, texture, odor, and shelf-life.Once hydrogenated, the resulting Castor oil ethoxylate product is comprised of hard, brittle flakes. Castor oil ethoxylate is considered an organic ingredient, as well as a vegan one, as it is vegetable-derived.One application of Castor oil ethoxylate is to improve certain cosmetic products. You can add the flakes to cosmetic formulations until thoroughly melted. In this capacity, Castor oil ethoxylate acts as an emollient and a thickener; increasing the viscosity of creams, ointments, and lotions when their composition is too runny. Castor oil ethoxylate also stabilizes cosmetics that come in stick-form (like lipstick) and increases these products' melting points, making for a more stable product. In part thanks to Castor oil ethoxylate, it's not the end of the world if we leave a tube of red lipstick in a hot car! Castor oil ethoxylate means our lipsticks maintain a solid structure even when they're pushed to the limit, and our deodorant doesn't crumble as we apply it.Castor oil ethoxylate is a hard, waxy substance with a unique structure. It works with the other oils and waxes in the antiperspirant base to give the stick a firm but spreadable consistency. In the baby diaper cream and lotion it provides a protective barrier of the lotion/cream on the skin. In all cases, because Castor oil ethoxylate is insoluble in water, it is not readily washed away. Castor oil ethoxylate is especially present in these types of products when something requires resistance to moisture and oils, such as in polishes, varnishes, and paints. Castor oil ethoxylate, also known as castor wax, is derived from castor beans (Ricinus communis), which is typically a liquid at room temperature, that has been processed by adding hydrogen to make it more stable and raises its melting point so that it is a solid at room temperature. It is odorless and insoluble in water. Castor oil ethoxylate is a hard, waxy substance with a unique structure. It works with the other oils and waxes in the antiperspirant base to give the stick a firm but spreadable consistency. In all cases, because Castor oil ethoxylate is insoluble in water, it is not readily washed away. Castor oil ethoxylate has a long history of safe use in personal care products. PEG 40 Castor oil ethoxylate is the Polyethylene Glycol derivatives of Castor oil ethoxylate, and it functions as a surfactant, a solubilizer, an emulsifier, an emollient, a cleansing agent, and a fragrance ingredient when added to cosmetics or personal care product formulations. Castor oil ethoxylate is soluble in both water and oil and is traditionally used to emulsify and solubilize oil-in-water formulations. Its foam-enhancing properties make it ideal for use in liquid cleansers, and its soothing and softening emollient quality makes it a popular addition to formulations for moisturizers and hair care cosmetics. As a surfactant, PEG 40 Castor oil ethoxylate helps to decrease the surface tension between multiple liquids or between liquids and solids. Furthermore, it helps to remove the grease from oils and causes them to become suspended in the liquid. This makes it easier for them to be washed away and lends this ingredient popularity in facial and body cleansers. As an occlusive agent, PEG 40 Castor oil ethoxylate creates a protective hydrating layer on the skin's surface, acting as a barrier against the loss of natural moisture. Castor oil ethoxylate to cosmetics formulations, it can be blended in its cold state directly into the oil phase at a suggested ratio of 3:1 (PEG 40 Castor oil ethoxylate to oil). Next, this can be added to the water phase. If the formula is cloudy, the amount of PEG 40 Castor oil ethoxylate may be increased for enhanced transparency.

PEG-30 Castor oil ethoxylate and PEG-40 Castor oil ethoxylate are polyethylene glycol derivatives of Castor oil ethoxylate. PEG-36 Castor oil ethoxylate is a light yellow and slightly viscous liquid with a mild fatty odor. PEG-40 Castor oil ethoxylate is an amber-colored liquid. PEG Castor oil ethoxylates and PEG Castor oil ethoxylates are used in the formulation of a wide variety of cosmetics and personal care products. Castor oil ethoxylate is the polyethylene glycol derivatives of Castor oil ethoxylate, and is an amber colored, slightly viscous liquid that has a naturally mildly fatty odor. It is used in cosmetics and beauty products as an emulsifier, surfactant, and fragrance ingredient, according to research. Accordingly, Castor oil ethoxylate is principally 12-hydroxystearic triglyceride. Castor oil ethoxylate (HCO) or castor wax is used in capacitors, coatings and greases, cosmetics, electrical carbon paper, lubrication, polishes, and where resistance to moisture, oils and other petrochemical products is required. Castor wax is also useful as a top coat varnish for leather, wood & rubber. 12-Hydroxy Stearic Acid (12-HSA) is obtained by the hydrolysis of Castor oil ethoxylate, 12-Hydroxy Stearic Acid is a high melting, brittle, waxy solid at ambient temperatures and should be stored away from heat to avoid deterioration. A non-toxic, non-hazardous material, it has limited solubility in many organic solvents and is insoluble in water. It is used in lithium and calcium greases, and in the manufacture of acrylic polymers, as an internal lubricant for plastic mouldings, coatings for automotive, equipment, appliances and architectural applications.

Castor oil ethoxylate is a wax-like hydrogenated derivative of Castor oil ethoxylate. Castor oil ethoxylate has many industrial applications. Castor wax, also called Castor oil ethoxylate, is an opaque, white vegetable wax. It is produced by the hydrogenation of pure Castor oil ethoxylate often in the presence of a nickel catalyst to increase the rate of reaction. The hydrogenation of Castor oil ethoxylate forms saturated molecules of castor wax; this saturation is responsible for the hard, brittle and insoluble nature of the wax. HCO (chemical name: Castor oil ethoxylate), also known as castor wax, is a very common oleochemical product that has many industrial and manufacturing applications. What is Castor oil ethoxylate? HCO is a hard, wax-like substance extracted from Castor oil ethoxylate beans. There is also a petroleum-based formula of Hydrogenated Caster Oil known as PEG-40. The Castor oil ethoxylate chemical formula of this material is C57H110O9(CH2CH2O)n. Hydrogenation refers to a chemical process where an unsaturated compound is combined with hydrogen to produce saturation. In the case of HCO, this increases the oil’s stability and raises its melting point, transforming it into a solid at room temperature.Castor oil ethoxylate is insoluble in water and most types of organic solvents. This makes HCO extremely valuable in the manufacturing of lubricants and industrial greases. However, HCO is soluble in hot solvents. It also has the ability to resist water while retaining its polarity, lubricity and surface wetting capabilities. Castor oil ethoxylate is also an extremely safe, non-toxic material that is suitable for use in personal care products and soaps. To learn more about HCO safety, please review the Castor oil ethoxylate SDS (Safety Data Sheet).Acme-Hardesty is a reliable source for Castor oil ethoxylate.

As one of the leading Castor oil ethoxylate suppliers, we can accommodate your company’s Castor oil ethoxylate needs, whether you require a bulk shipment, a pallet or a full truckload. USES & APPLICATIONS HCO is an extremely versatile oleochemical that has a number of industrial and manufacturing applications:CASE: Because of its excellent resistance to moisture, Castor oil ethoxylate works extremely well as a viscosity modifier, and it also provides significant improvement in grease and oil resistance.Plastics: Castor oil ethoxylate performs the role of a lubricant and release agent for PVC and improves processing, dispersion and grease resistance of sheeted polyethylene. It is also useful in the preparation of various polyurethane coating formulas.Personal Care: There are multiple Castor oil ethoxylate uses in the manufacturing of personal care products, particularly as an emollient and thickening agent in ointments and deodorants, as well as hair care products and certain cosmetics.Waxes: Hydrogenated Caster Oil works as a binding agent in synthetic and petroleum waxes, as it makes the wax harder and more resistant to crumbling.Soaps and Detergents: Castor oil ethoxylate is sometimes used as an emulsifying agent in liquid soaps and detergents to enhance the stability of the liquid formula.Textiles: HCO makes an effective processing agent in various textile manufacturing applications. What does it do? Castor oil ethoxylate is a hard, waxy substance with a unique structure. It works with the other oils and waxes in the antiperspirant base to give the stick a firm but spreadable consistency. In all cases, because Castor oil ethoxylate is insoluble in water, it is not readily washed away. In monolithic tablets, the core is either prepared by direct compression or by wet granulation followed by coating the core with water impermeable materials on all the faces except the face which is in contact with the mucosa. Water-impermeable materials include Teflon, ethyl cellulose, cellophane, Castor oil ethoxylate, and so on. Such a system begins unidirectional drug flow toward the mucosa and avoids drug loss [163]. The results of Kurihara et al. (1996) indicate that Castor oil ethoxylate (HCO)-60 emulsions, when compared with conventional lecithin-stabilized emulsions, are more stable to LPL and show low uptake by RES organs, long circulations in the plasma and high distribution in tumors. Lin et al. (1992) confirmed that Castor oil ethoxylate-60 is a good emulsifier for the preparation of NE with better stability and prolonged and selective delivery properties. Thus, these sterically stabilized NEs could show potential as effective carriers for highly lipophilic antitumor agents to enhance the drug delivery in tumors. This was confirmed by Sakaeda et al. (1994) who found that the rate of selective delivery of Sudan II to liver, lungs, and spleen could be suppressed by using Castor oil ethoxylate-60-based NE. Conversely, the use of saturated MCT in NE was the most effective way to increase blood concentration of Sudan II, resulting in higher distribution to liver, lungs, spleen, and brain (Sakaeda and Hirano, 1995). Furthermore, an o/w-type NE containing Castor oil ethoxylate-60 was shown to be superior in the selective distribution of adriamycin-HCl to the liver and in decreasing concentration in heart and kidney (Yamaguchi et al., 1995). Again, Ueda et al. (2003) reported the effect of using a series of Castor oil ethoxylates having different oxyethylene numbers such as Castor oil ethoxylate10, Castor oil ethoxylate 20, Castor oil ethoxylate 30, Castor oil ethoxylate 60, and Castor oil ethoxylate 100 on the pharmacokinetics of menatetrenone (vitamin K2) incorporated in SO (SO)–based NE in rats. Plasma half-life of menatetrenone after administration as the NE prepared by Castor oil ethoxylate with 10 oxyethylene units (SO/Castor oil ethoxylate 10) was similar to that after the administration as SO/egg yolk phosphatides (SO/EYP), but was shorter than that as the NEs prepared by Castor oil ethoxylates with >20 oxyethylene units (SO/Castor oil ethoxylate 20, SO/Castor oil ethoxylate 30, SO/Castor oil ethoxylate 60, and SO/Castor oil ethoxylate 100). These findings clearly demonstrate that 20 oxyethylene units in Castor oil ethoxylates are the minimum requirement for the prolongation of the plasma circulation time of the incorporated drug in SO/Castor oil ethoxylates NEs. The earlier described studies suggest the involvement of oil or structured lipids in the enhancement of systemic circulation of the NE. Castor oil ethoxylate is a multi-purpose vegetable oil that people have used for thousands of years. It’s made by extracting oil from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant. These seeds, which are known as castor beans, contain a toxic enzyme called ricin. However, the heating process that Castor oil ethoxylate undergoes deactivates it, allowing the oil to be used safely. Castor oil ethoxylate has a number of medicinal, industrial and pharmaceutical uses. It’s commonly used as an additive in foods, medications and skin care products, as well as an industrial lubricant and biodiesel fuel component. In ancient Egypt, Castor oil ethoxylate was burned as fuel in lamps, used as a natural remedy to treat ailments like eye irritation and even given to pregnant women to stimulate labor. Today, Castor oil ethoxylate remains a popular natural treatment for common conditions like constipation and skin ailments and is commonly used in natural beauty products. Here are 7 benefits and uses of Castor oil ethoxylate. 1. A Powerful Laxative Perhaps one of the best-known medicinal uses for Castor oil ethoxylate is as a natural laxative. It’s classified as a stimulant laxative, meaning that it increases the movement of the muscles that push material through the intestines, helping clear the bowels. Stimulant laxatives act rapidly and are commonly used to relieve temporary constipation. When consumed by mouth, Castor oil ethoxylate is broken down in the small intestine, releasing ricinoleic acid, the main fatty acid in Castor oil ethoxylate. The ricinoleic acid is then absorbed by the intestine, stimulating a strong laxative effect. In fact, several studies have shown that Castor oil ethoxylate can relieve constipation. For example, one study found that when elderly people took Castor oil ethoxylate, they experienced decreased symptoms of constipation, including less straining during defecation and lower reported feelings of incomplete bowel movements. While Castor oil ethoxylate is considered safe in small doses, larger amounts can cause abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea (4Trusted Source). Although it can be used to relieve occasional constipation, Castor oil ethoxylate is not recommended as a treatment for long-term issues. Castor oil ethoxylate can be used as a natural remedy for occasional constipation. However, it can cause side effects like cramping and diarrhea and should not be used to treat chronic constipation. 2. A Natural Moisturizer Castor oil ethoxylate is rich in ricinoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid. These types of fats act as humectants and can be used to moisturize the skin. Humectants retain moisture by preventing water loss through the outer layer of the skin. Castor oil ethoxylate is often used in cosmetics to promote hydration and often added to products like lotions, makeup and cleansers. You can also use this rich oil on its own as a natural alternative to store-bought moisturizers and lotions. Many popular moisturizing products found in stores contain potentially harmful ingredients like preservatives, perfumes and dyes, which could irritate the skin and harm overall health. Swapping out these products for Castor oil ethoxylate can help reduce your exposure to these additives. Plus, Castor oil ethoxylate is inexpensive and can be used on the face and body. Castor oil ethoxylate is thick, so it’s frequently mixed with other skin-friendly oils like almond, olive and coconut oil to make an ultra-hydrating moisturizer. Though applying Castor oil ethoxylate to the skin is considered safe for most, it can cause an allergic reaction in some people (6Trusted Source). Castor oil ethoxylate can help lock moisture in the skin. Though this natural alternative to store-bought products is considered safe for most, it can cause allergic reactions in some. 3. Promotes Wound Healing Applying Castor oil ethoxylate to wounds creates a moist environment that promotes healing and prevents sores from drying out. Venelex, a popular ointment used in clinical settings to treat wounds, contains a mixture of Castor oil ethoxylate and Peru balsam, a balm derived from the Myroxylon tree. Castor oil ethoxylate stimulates tissue growth so that a barrier can be formed between the wound and the environment, decreasing the risk of infection. It also reduces dryness and cornification, the buildup of dead skin cells that can delay wound healing (8). Studies have found that ointments containing Castor oil ethoxylate may be especially helpful in healing pressure ulcers, a type wound that develops from prolonged pressure on the skin. One study looked at the wound-healing effects of an ointment containing Castor oil ethoxylate in 861 nursing home residents with pressure ulcers. Those whose wounds were treated with Castor oil ethoxylate experienced higher healing rates and shorter healing times than those treated with other methods (9Trusted Source). Castor oil ethoxylate helps heal wounds by stimulating the growth of new tissue, reducing dryness and preventing the buildup of dead skin cells. 4. Impressive Anti-Inflammatory Effects Ricinoleic acid, the main fatty acid found in Castor oil ethoxylate, has impressive anti-inflammatory properties. Studies have shown that when Castor oil ethoxylate is applied topically, it reduces inflammation and relieves pain. The pain-reducing and anti-inflammatory qualities of Castor oil ethoxylate may be particularly helpful to those with an inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis. Animal and test-tube studies have found that ricinoleic acid reduces pain and swelling. One study demonstrated that treatment with a gel containing ricinoleic acid led to a significant reduction in pain and inflammation when applied to the skin, compared to other treatment methods. A test-tube component of the same study showed that ricinoleic acid helped reduce inflammation caused by human rheumatoid arthritis cells more than another treatment. Aside from Castor oil ethoxylate’s potential to reduce inflammation, it may help relieve dry, irritated skin in those with psoriasis, thanks to its moisturizing properties. Although these results are promising, more human studies are needed to determine the effects of Castor oil ethoxylate on inflammatory conditions. Castor oil ethoxylate is high in ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid that has been shown to help reduce pain and inflammation in test-tube and animal studies. 5. Reduces Acne Acne is a skin condition that can cause blackheads, pus-filled pimples and large, painful bumps on the face and body. It’s most common in teens and young adults and can negatively impact self-esteem. Castor oil ethoxylate has several qualities that may help reduce acne symptoms. Inflammation is thought to be a factor in the development and severity of acne, so applying Castor oil ethoxylate to the skin may help reduce inflammation-related symptoms. Acne is also associated with an imbalance of certain types of bacteria normally found on the skin, including Staphylococcus aureus. Castor oil ethoxylate has antimicrobial properties that may help fight bacterial overgrowth when applied to the skin. One test-tube study found that Castor oil ethoxylate extract showed considerable antibacterial power, inhibiting the growth of several bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus. Castor oil ethoxylate is also a natural moisturizer, so it may help soothe the inflamed and irritated skin typical in those with acne. Castor oil ethoxylate helps fight inflammation, reduce bacteria and soothe irritated skin, all of which can be helpful for those looking for a natural acne remedy. 6. Fights Fungus Candida albicans is a type of fungus that commonly causes dental issues like plaque overgrowth, gum infections and root canal infections. Castor oil ethoxylate has antifungal properties and may help fight off Candida, keeping the mouth healthy. One test-tube study found that Castor oil ethoxylate eliminated Candida albicans from contaminated human tooth roots. Castor oil ethoxylate may also help treat denture-related stomatitis, a painful condition thought to be caused by Candida overgrowth. This is a common issue in elderly people who wear dentures. A study in 30 elderly people with denture-related stomatitis showed that treatment with Castor oil ethoxylate led to improvements in the clinical signs of stomatitis, including inflammation (17Trusted Source). Another study found that brushing with and soaking dentures in a solution containing Castor oil ethoxylate led to significant reductions in Candida in elderly people who wore dentures (18Trusted Source). Several studies have shown that Castor oil ethoxylate may help fight fungal infections in the mouth caused by Candida albicans. 7. Keeps Your Hair and Scalp Healthy Many people use Castor oil ethoxylate as a natural hair conditioner. Dry or damaged hair can especially benefit from an intense moisturizer like Castor oil ethoxylate. Applying fats like Castor oil ethoxylate to the hair on a regular basis helps lubricate the hair shaft, increasing flexibility and decreasing the chance of breakage. Castor oil ethoxylate may benefit those who experience dandruff, a common scalp condition characterized by dry, flaky skin on the head. Though there are many different causes of dandruff, it has been linked to seborrhoeic dermatitis, an inflammatory skin condition that causes red, scaly patches on the scalp. Due to Castor oil ethoxylate’s ability to reduce inflammation, it may be an effective treatment for dandruff that is caused by seborrhoeic dermatitis. Plus, applying Castor oil ethoxylate to the scalp will help moisturize dry, irritated skin and may help reduce flaking. The moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties of Castor oil ethoxylate make it an excellent option to keep hair soft and hydrated and help reduce dandruff symptoms. Castor oil ethoxylate Precautions Many people use Castor oil ethoxylate to treat a variety of issues, either by ingesting the oil or applying it to the skin. Although Castor oil ethoxylate is generally considered safe, it can cause adverse reactions and unwanted side effects in some people. Can induce labor: It’s used by medical professionals to induce birth. For this reason, women at all stages of pregnancy should avoid consuming Castor oil ethoxylate. Can cause diarrhea: While it can be an effective way to alleviate constipation, you may get diarrhea if you take too much. Diarrhea can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Can cause allergic reactions: It may cause an allergic reaction in some people when applied to the skin. First try applying a small amount to a tiny patch of skin to see how your body reacts. Castor oil ethoxylate can cause side effects, such as allergic reactions and diarrhea, in some people. It can also induce labor, so pregnant women should avoid it. The Bottom Line People have used Castor oil ethoxylate for thousands of years as a powerful natural treatment for a variety of health issues. It has been shown to help relieve constipation and moisturize dry skin, among many other uses. If you are searching for an affordable, multi-purpose oil to keep in your medicine cabinet, Castor oil ethoxylate may be a good choice. Dehydrated Castor oil ethoxylate 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. Castor oil ethoxylate is a very suitable and even better substitute for Linseed oil. Paints with Castor oil ethoxylate are super white and offer superior finish. Dehydrated Castor oil ethoxylate 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. Castor oil ethoxylate is also used in the manufacturing of lithographic inks, linoleum, putty and phenolic resins. Castor oil ethoxylate 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. Castor oil ethoxylate is also used to obtain fast kettling rate which gives lighter colour and lower acid varnishes. Castor oil ethoxylate is a release and antisticking agent used in hard candy pro- duction. its concentration is not to exceed 500 ppm. it is used in vitamin and mineral tablets, and as a component of protective coatings. Castor oil ethoxylate is a highly emollient carrier oil that penetrates the skin easily, leaving it soft and supple. It also serves to bind the different ingredients of a cosmetic formulation together. Castor oil ethoxylate is high in glycerin esters of ricinoleic acid (an unsaturated fatty acid). It is rarely, if ever, associated with irritation of the skin or allergic reactions. It is obtained through cold-pressing from seeds or beans of the Ricinus communis (Castor oil ethoxylate) plant. Impure Castor oil ethoxylate may cause irritation, as the seeds contain a toxic substance that is eliminated during processing. Its unpleasant odor makes it difficult to use in cosmetics. PEG-30 Castor oil ethoxylate, -30 Castor oil ethoxylate (hydrogenated), -40 Castor oil ethoxylate, -40 Castor oil ethoxylate (hydrogenated) are emollients, detergents, emulsifiers, and oil-in-water solubilizers recommended for fragrance oils, and for other oils that may be difficult to solubilize. The -40 Castor oil ethoxylate version is a powerful solubilizer for solubilizing essential oils and perfumes in oil-in-water creams and lotions. It is similar to Peg-30 Castor oil ethoxylate but denser, being a soft paste rather than a liquid. The hydrogenated version is particularly used as a nonionic emulsifier for essential oils and perfumes. Castor oil ethoxylate is widely used in cosmetics, food products, and pharmaceutical formulations. In pharmaceutical formulations, Castor oil ethoxylate is most commonly used in topical creams and ointments at concentrations of 5–12.5%. However, it is also used in oral tablet and capsule formulations, ophthalmic emulsions, and as a solvent in intramuscular injections. Therapeutically, Castor oil ethoxylate has been administered orally for its laxative action, but such use is now obsolete. Castor oil ethoxylate is used in cosmetics and foods and orally, parenterally, and topically in pharmaceutical formulations. It is generally regarded as a relatively nontoxic and nonirritant material when used as an excipient. Castor oil ethoxylate has been used therapeutically as a laxative and oral administration of large quantities may cause nausea, vomiting, colic, and severe purgation. It should not be given when intestinal obstruction is present. Although widely used in topical preparations, including ophthalmic formulations, Castor oil ethoxylate has been associated with some reports of allergic contact dermatitis, mainly to cosmetics such as lipsticks. Castor oil ethoxylate is stable and does not turn rancid unless subjected to excessive heat. On heating at 3008℃ for several hours, Castor oil ethoxylate polymerizes and becomes soluble in mineral oil. When cooled to 08℃, it becomes more viscous. Castor oil ethoxylate should be stored at a temperature not exceeding 258℃ in well-filled airtight containers protected from light. Castor oil ethoxylate is a vegetable oil pressed from castor beans.[1] Castor oil ethoxylate is a colourless to very pale yellow liquid with a distinct taste and odor. Its boiling point is 313 °C (595 °F) and its density is 0.961 g/cm3.[2] It includes a mixture of triglycerides in which approximately 90 percent of fatty acid chains are ricinoleates.

Castor oil hydrogenated is a white waxy solid derived from the castor bean (Ricinus communis) a fast growing species of flowering shrub.
Likely a native to North-East Africa but now found around the world, these trees grow up to 4 meters tall with large, soft leaves and clusters of flowers containing rectangular seeds.


The seeds, known as castor 'beans' are particularly rich in triglycerides, useful fatty acids also present in the body.
To produce castor oil, harvested seeds undergo a process of drying, dehulling, heating and pressing to extract the oil.
The raw seeds are highly poisonous due to the presence of ricin; the crucial heating process during oil production disables the ricin rendering the oil safe for use.


Using hydrogen gas, a catalyst such as nickel, and high pressure, plant oils can undergo a hydrogenation process whereby they change from a liquid into a solid or semi-solid state - becoming hydrogenated oils.
The hydrogenation process allows oils to remain solid at room temperature - an everyday example of which is margarine.


When used in skincare, hydrogenated castor oil's resistance to water and oil can help the skin retain moisture, leaving it soft and smooth.

CATIONIC POLYELECTROLYTE
Cationic Polyelectrolyte Cationic polyelectrolytes are polymers whose repeating units bear an electrolyte group. Polycations and polyanions are Cationic polyelectrolytes. These groups dissociate in aqueous solutions (water), making the polymers charged. Cationic polyelectrolyte properties are thus similar to both electrolytes (salts) and polymers (high molecular weight compounds) and are sometimes called polysalts. Like salts, their solutions are electrically conductive. Like polymers, their solutions are often viscous. Charged molecular chains, commonly present in soft matter systems, play a fundamental role in determining structure, stability and the interactions of various molecular assemblies. Theoretical approaches to describing their statistical properties differ profoundly from those of their electrically neutral counterparts, while technological and industrial fields exploit their unique properties. Many biological molecules are Cationic polyelectrolytes. For instance, polypeptides, glycosaminoglycans, and DNA are Cationic polyelectrolytes. Both natural and synthetic Cationic polyelectrolytes are used in a variety of industries. IUPAC definition of Cationic polyelectrolyte Cationic polyelectrolyte: Polymer composed of macromolecules in which a substantial portion of the constitutional units contains ionic or ionizable groups, or both. Notes: The terms Cationic polyelectrolyte, polymer electrolyte, and polymeric electrolyte should not be confused with the term solid polymer electrolyte. Cationic polyelectrolytes can be either synthetic or natural. Nucleic acids, proteins, teichoic acids, some polypeptides, and some polysaccharides are examples of natural Cationic polyelectrolytes. Charge of Cationic polyelectrolyte Acids are classified as either weak or strong (and bases similarly may be either weak or strong). Similarly, Cationic polyelectrolytes can be divided into "weak" and "strong" types. A "strong" Cationic polyelectrolyte is one that dissociates completely in solution for most reasonable pH values. A "weak" Cationic polyelectrolyte, by contrast, has a dissociation constant (pKa or pKb) in the range of ~2 to ~10, meaning that it will be partially dissociated at intermediate pH. Thus, weak Cationic polyelectrolytes are not fully charged in solution, and moreover their fractional charge can be modified by changing the solution pH, counter-ion concentration, or ionic strength. The physical properties of Cationic polyelectrolyte solutions are usually strongly affected by this degree of charging. Since the Cationic polyelectrolyte dissociation releases counter-ions, this necessarily affects the solution's ionic strength, and therefore the Debye length. This in turn affects other properties, such as electrical conductivity. When solutions of two oppositely charged polymers (that is, a solution of polycation and one of polyanion) are mixed, a bulk complex (precipitate) is usually formed. This occurs because the oppositely-charged polymers attract one another and bind together. Conformation of Cationic polyelectrolyte The conformation of any polymer is affected by a number of factors: notably the polymer architecture and the solvent affinity. In the case of Cationic polyelectrolytes, charge also has an effect. Whereas an uncharged linear polymer chain is usually found in a random conformation in solution (closely approximating a self-avoiding three-dimensional random walk), the charges on a linear Cationic polyelectrolyte chain will repel each other via double layer forces, which causes the chain to adopt a more expanded, rigid-rod-like conformation. If the solution contains a great deal of added salt, the charges will be screened and consequently the Cationic polyelectrolyte chain will collapse to a more conventional conformation (essentially identical to a neutral chain in good solvent). Polymer conformation of course affects many bulk properties (such as viscosity, turbidity, etc.). Although the statistical conformation of Cationic polyelectrolytes can be captured using variants of conventional polymer theory, it is in general quite computationally intensive to properly model Cationic polyelectrolyte chains, owing to the long-range nature of the electrostatic interaction. Techniques such as static light scattering can be used to study Cationic polyelectrolyte conformation and conformational changes. Polyampholytes Cationic polyelectrolytes that bear both cationic and anionic repeat groups are called polyampholytes. The competition between the acid-base equilibria of these groups leads to additional complications in their physical behavior. These polymers usually only dissolve when there is sufficient added salt, which screens the interactions between oppositely charged segments. In case of amphoteric macroporous hydrogels action of concentrated salt solution does not lead to dissolution of polyampholyte material due to covalent cross-linking of macromolecules. Synthetic 3-D macroporous hydrogels shows the excellent ability to adsorb heavy-metal ions in a wide range of pH from extremely diluted aqueous solutions, which can be later used as an adsorbent for purification of salty water. All proteins are polyampholytes, as some amino acids tend to be acidic, while others are basic. IUPAC definition Ampholytic polymer: Cationic polyelectrolyte composed of macromolecules containing both cationic and anionic groups, or corresponding ionizable group. Note: An ampholytic polymer in which ionic groups of opposite sign are incorporated into the same pendant groups is called, depending on the structure of the pendant groups, a zwitterionic polymer, polymeric inner salt, or polybetaine. Applications of Cationic polyelectrolyte Cationic polyelectrolytes have many applications, mostly related to modifying flow and stability properties of aqueous solutions and gels. For instance, they can be used to destabilize a colloidal suspension and to initiate flocculation (precipitation). They can also be used to impart a surface charge to neutral particles, enabling them to be dispersed in aqueous solution. They are thus often used as thickeners, emulsifiers, conditioners, clarifying agents, and even drag reducers. They are used in water treatment and for oil recovery. Many soaps, shampoos, and cosmetics incorporate Cationic polyelectrolytes. Furthermore, they are added to many foods and to concrete mixtures (superplasticizer). Some of the Cationic polyelectrolytes that appear on food labels are pectin, carrageenan, alginates, and carboxymethyl cellulose. All but the last are of natural origin. Finally, they are used in a variety of materials, including cement. Because some of them are water-soluble, they are also investigated for biochemical and medical applications. There is currently much research in using biocompatible Cationic polyelectrolytes for implant coatings, for controlled drug release, and other applications. Thus, recently, the biocompatible and biodegradable macroporous material composed of Cationic polyelectrolyte complex was described, where the material exhibited excellent proliferation of mammalian cells and muscle like soft actuators. Multilayers Cationic polyelectrolytes have been used in the formation of new types of materials known as Cationic polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs). These thin films are constructed using a layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition technique. During LbL deposition, a suitable growth substrate (usually charged) is dipped back and forth between dilute baths of positively and negatively charged Cationic polyelectrolyte solutions. During each dip a small amount of Cationic polyelectrolyte is adsorbed and the surface charge is reversed, allowing the gradual and controlled build-up of electrostatically cross-linked films of polycation-polyanion layers. Scientists have demonstrated thickness control of such films down to the single-nanometer scale. LbL films can also be constructed by substituting charged species such as nanoparticles or clay platelets in place of or in addition to one of the Cationic polyelectrolytes. LbL deposition has also been accomplished using hydrogen bonding instead of electrostatics. For more information on multilayer creation please see Cationic polyelectrolyte adsorption. Formation of 20 layers of PSS-PAH Cationic polyelectrolyte multilayer measured by multi-parametric surface plasmon resonance An LbL formation of PEM (PSS-PAH (poly(allylamine) hydrochloride)) on a gold substrate can be seen in the Figure. The formation is measured using Multi-Parametric Surface Plasmon Resonance to determine adsorption kinetics, layer thickness and optical density. The main benefits to PEM coatings are the ability to conformably coat objects (that is, the technique is not limited to coating flat objects), the environmental benefits of using water-based processes, reasonable costs, and the utilization of the particular chemical properties of the film for further modification, such as the synthesis of metal or semiconductor nanoparticles, or porosity phase transitions to create anti-reflective coatings, optical shutters, and superhydrophobic coatings. Bridging If Cationic polyelectrolyte chains are added to a system of charged macroions (i.e. an array of DNA molecules), an interesting phenomenon called the Cationic polyelectrolyte bridging might occur. The term bridging interactions is usually applied to the situation where a single Cationic polyelectrolyte chain can adsorb to two (or more) oppositely charged macroions (e.g. DNA molecule) thus establishing molecular bridges and, via its connectivity, mediate attractive interactions between them. At small macroion separations, the chain is squeezed in between the macroions and electrostatic effects in the system are completely dominated by steric effects – the system is effectively discharged. As we increase the macroion separation, we simultaneously stretch the Cationic polyelectrolyte chain adsorbed to them. The stretching of the chain gives rise to the above-mentioned attractive interactions due to chain's rubber elasticity. Because of its connectivity the behaviour of the Cationic polyelectrolyte chain bears almost no resemblance to the case of confined unconnected ions. Polyacid In polymer terminology, a polyacid is a Cationic polyelectrolyte composed of macromolecules containing acid groups on a substantial fraction of the constitutional units. Most commonly, the acid groups are –COOH, –SO3H, or –PO3H2. Definition and Usage Areas of Cationic polyelectrolyte: Cationic polyelectrolyte is added to the sludge line during the pumping of the excess activated sludge taken from the sedimentation pond to filter presses or belt-presses to dewater the sludge. Cationic polyelectrolyte is widely used in sludge dewatering units of wastewater treatment plants. In processes where sludge dewatering is performed with a centrifuge decanter, belt press or filter press, the flocculant, which is mixed with the help of a static mixer, is dosed into the pressurized sludge line. The working principle of the cationic polyelectrolyte product is generally based on ion exchange between the polymer chain in aqueous solution and the electrical charges of the suspended solid particles. The stable structure of solid particles deteriorates, which leads to coagulation or flocculation. Cationic polyelectrolytes are diluted from 0.05% to 0.1%. The preparation solution is usually prepared at 0.5% by adding the original product to water while mixing. Since the characteristics of the sludge to be dewatered are different, the dosages to be applied are determined as a result of jar test and operation trials in the laboratory. Usage areas of Cationic polyelectrolyte Polyelectrolytes used for flocculation in wastewater treatment systems are divided into two main groups as anionic and cationic polyelectrodes. Although they are nanionic polyelectrolytes they are not used much. In general, anionic polyelectrolytes enable the particles in waste water to be combined and precipitated in chemical treatment plants. Cationic polyelectrolytes are used to float flocs to be created in biological water treatment plants or to increase efficiency during dewatering of waste sludge from all treatment plants. Basically, there are various types of polyelectrolytes used in these principles. It is absolutely essential that the jar tests required for waste water systems are carried out by experts and the most appropriate use of the polyelectrolyte suitable for the system is selected. As a result, the treatment system can be operated healthily and efficiently. Unlike its anionic form, cationic polyelectrolyte is generally used in excessively activated sludge of biological treatment plants. Cationic polyelectrolyte is added to the sludge line during the pumping of the excess activated sludge taken from the sedimentation pond to filter presses or belt-presses to dewater the sludge. Cationic Polyelectrolyte is a linear polymeric compound, because it has a variety of lively groups, affinity, adsorption and many substances forming hydrogen bonds. Mainly flocculation of negatively charged colloidal, turbidity, bleaching, adsorption, glue and other functions, for dyeing, paper, food, construction, metallurgy, mineral processing, coal, oil, and aquatic product processing and fermentation industries of organic colloids with higher levels of wastewater treatment, especially for urban sewage, sewage sludge, paper mill sludge and industrial sludge dewatering process. KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS of Cationic polyelectrolyte: Water soluble, and can also dissolve completely in cold water. Add a small amount of anionic polyelectrolyte products, you can receive a lot of flocculation effect. while using the products and inorganic anion polyelectrolyte flocculant (polymerized ferric sulfate, polyaluminum chloride, iron salts, etc), you can display a greater effect.

The combination of polymeric and electrolyte behaviour gives them a number of useful properties, as indicated in Table 1, but also poses problems of characterization. This chapter provides an introduction to the behaviour of Cationic polyelectrolytes in solution, discusses the difficulties which this behaviour engenders in the determination of molecular weights and considers means of overcoming these difficulties. Cationic polyelectrolytes are polymers with ionizable repeating groups, such as polyanions and polycations. These groups can dissociate in polar solvents such as water, leaving charges on polymer chains and releasing counterions into the solution (Bhattarai et al., 2010; Schatz et al., 2004; Wu and Delair, 2015). Cationic polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) offer the possibility of combining physicochemical properties of at least two Cationic polyelectrolytes (Schatz et al., 2004). The PECs are formed by strong electrostatic interactions between oppositely charged Cationic polyelectrolytes, leading to interpolymer ionic condensation and the simultaneous release of counterions (Wu and Delair, 2015; Luo and Wang, 2014). Other interactions between two ionic groups to form PEC structures include hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, van der Waals’ forces, or dipole–dipole charge transfer. Chitosan has cationic nature due to the protonation of amino groups on the polymer backbone and becomes a cationic Cationic polyelectrolyte upon dissolution in aqueous acetic acid (Luo and Wang, 2014). Mixing cationic chitosan Cationic polyelectrolyte with negatively charged Cationic polyelectrolyte molecules forms spontaneous, entropy-driven PECs, which can be water-soluble or precipitated. Nonstoichiometric ratios of two Cationic polyelectrolytes lead to particle formation. For chitosan PEC particle formation, many investigators have used cation Cationic polyelectrolyte solution (chitosan) in excess of anionic Cationic polyelectrolytes (Schatz et al., 2004). The size of PECs is influenced by the Cationic polyelectrolyte concentration, charge density, mixing ratio, and pH. The charge density of the chitosan Cationic polyelectrolyte depends on the pH of the solution and degree of deacetylation (DDA) of chitosan. With increasing DDA (DDA >50%), positive charge density of the chitosan polymer increases and hence exhibits a large number of cross-linking sites to make PECs (Fan et al., 2012, Delair, 2011). The particle size of chitosan PECs decreases with decreases in DDA of chitosan and its molar mass (Schatz, 2004). Higher concentrations of low-molecular weight chitosan are required to form PECs with sufficient gel rigidity. High-molecular weight chitosan can form more robust PECs with highly cross-linked networks. Cationic polyelectrolytes (PEL) are polymers that carry charges within their backbone or in side chains. Usually, discrimination is made between weak and strong Cationic polyelectrolytes. Weak Cationic polyelectrolytes are polymers with weakly acidic or basic groups, which are protonated or deprotonated depending on the pH of the surrounding medium, resulting in a pH-dependent charge density. In contrast, the charge density in strong Cationic polyelectrolytes is not influenced by the pH. Cationic polyelectrolyte brushes exhibit interesting characteristics with respect to both theoretical and practical aspects because their behavior is fundamentally different from that of uncharged polymer brushes. In the case of strong Cationic polyelectrolyte brushes, in which the charge density is independent of the pH, the molecular structure and properties are dominated by electrostatic interactions. Mutual repulsion between charged polymer segments strongly influences the physical properties of the grafted layers. In weak Cationic polyelectrolyte brushes—in which the charge density of the chains depends on their protonation level—the chain conformation depends on the pH of the solution. In particular, the swelling of weak Cationic polyelectrolyte brushes in different solvents was extensively studied due to its importance for responsive polymer systems. Swelling depends on the nature of the solvent system, as well as its pH and the concentration and chemical nature of other ions in the solution. Furthermore, interactions with selected counterions can be used to tune the wettability of surfaces with anchored Cationic polyelectrolyte brushes. General aspects of Cationic polyelectrolytes and PEM films Cationic polyelectrolytes are ionizable polymers that change their polymeric conformations upon their environmental changes. They are of two types: strong and weak Cationic polyelectrolytes. Strong Cationic polyelectrolytes are charged over a wide pH range. Hence, it is a difficult task to manipulate the properties of the assembled film unless one takes specific measures to disturb the polymer-polymer interactions by controlling other stimuli such as ionic strength, temperature, and polarity. Unlike strong Cationic polyelectrolytes, weak Cationic polyelectrolytes are charged only in a smaller pH window; hence, their polymeric conformations can be easily modulated upon changing the pH of the external environment. The unique feature of PEM films assembled from weak Cationic polyelectrolytes is that they can be destroyed at extreme pH conditions as the pH-induced charge imbalances in the film overcompensate the attractive polymer-polymer interactions. Physicochemical properties of Cationic polyelectrolytes Cationic polyelectrolytes are macromolecules that, when dissolved in a polar solvent like water, have a (large) number of charged groups covalently linked to them. In general, Cationic polyelectrolytes may have various kinds of such groups. Homogeneous Cationic polyelectrolytes have only one kind of charged group, e. g. only carboxylate groups. If both negative (anionic) and positive (cationic) groups occur, we call such a molecule a polyampholyte. These Cationic polyelectrolytes will only be briefly discussed at the end of this chapter. Self-assembled structures, such as linear micelles or linear protein assemblies, also often have many charged groups; these structures may have properties very similar to those of Cationic polyelectrolytes, but we shall not deal with them in this chapter. Special properties of Cationic polyelectrolytes, as compared with uncharged polymers, are their generally excellent water solubility, their propensity to swell and bind large amounts of water, and their ability to interact strongly with oppositely charged surfaces and macromolecules. Because of these features, they are widely used as rheology and surface modifiers. These typical Cationic polyelectrolyte properties are intimately related to the strong electrostatic interactions in Cationic polyelectrolyte solutions and, hence, are sensitive to the solution pH and the amount and type of electrolytes present in the solution. Cationic polyelectrolytes show many applications in fields, such as in water treatment as flocculation agents, in ceramic slurries as dispersant agents, and in concrete mixtures as super-plasticizers. Furthermore, many shampoos, soaps, and cosmetics contain Cationic polyelectrolytes. Certain Cationic polyelectrolytes are also added to food products, for example, as food coatings and release agents. Some examples of Cationic polyelectrolytes are pectin (polygalacturonic acid), alginates (alginic acid), and carboxymethyl cellulose, of which the last one is of natural origin. Cationic polyelectrolytes are water soluble, but when crosslinking is created in Cationic polyelectrolytes they are not dissolved in water. Crosslinked Cationic polyelectrolytes swell in water and work as water absorbers and are known as hydrogels or superabsorbent polymers when slightly crosslinked. Superabsorbers can absorb water up to 500 times their weight and 30–60 times their own volume (Bolto and Gregory, 2007; Dobrynin and Rubinstein, 2005). Cationic polyelectrolyte membranes Cationic polyelectrolyte membranes are synthesized on surface of the charged supports via sequential coating of anionic and cationic Cationic polyelectrolytes. This assembly technique named as layer by layer (LbL) is attractive for the preparation of NF and RO membranes, and the obtained dense structure can limit passage of ions through the membranes. In this method, first, the initially charged membrane is soaked in the positive dilute solution of cationic Cationic polyelectrolyte. After that the membrane is removed from the solution and rinsed with water for elimination of the unbound molecules. Then the obtained positively charged membrane is immersed in the negative dilute solution of anionic Cationic polyelectrolyte followed by water rinsing. In each step, a small content of Cationic polyelectrolytes adsorbs on the membrane surface and consequently the previous charge of the membrane reverses. Multiple positive and negative layers onto the membrane surface cause the preparation of Cationic polyelectrolyte multilayer membranes. The number of formed Cationic polyelectrolyte layers has an essential role in water flux and salt rejection of the Cationic polyelectrolyte membranes. The higher number of the layers increases mass transfer resistance so water flux decreases. On the other hand, salt rejection increases with increment of the deposited dense Cationic polyelectrolyte layers. It is worth noting that there are an optimum number of layers that determine the membrane performance. The separation performance, thickness, surface hydrophilicity, and charge of the LbL membranes are affected by type, concentration, pH, and the layer number of the Cationic polyelectrolytes. pH-responsive Cationic polyelectrolyte shell Cationic polyelectrolyte complex holds a great deal of promise for the formation of inhibitor containers sensitive to the pH. Since there are various possibilities to change the permeability of Cationic polyelectrolyte multilayers, the use of Cationic polyelectrolyte complexes can control the interior of containers. Owing to the presence of hydroxyl groups on the surface of most inorganic NPs, the majority of these particles are negatively charged at the surface; thus, oppositely charged layers of Cationic polyelectrolyte can be alternatingly deposited on the material through electrostatic interaction to prevent undesirable leakage of inhibitor. The release of additives with corrosion-inhibiting function, similar to the layer-by-layer Cationic polyelectrolyte corrosion-protective coatings, is controlled by varying the pH level, which changes the layer-by-layer Cationic polyelectrolyte permeability. In noncross-linked linear Cationic polyelectrolytes, the Cationic polyelectrolyte complexes, due to displaying electrostatic nature, are highly sensitive to the ionic strength and pH. If two types of strong Cationic polyelectrolytes constitute a Cationic polyelectrolyte complex, the obtained complex displays stability in a wide range of pH values and is able to be opened by raising the ionic strength of the solution and release the confined material. Conversely, if weak Cationic polyelectrolytes constitute the Cationic polyelectrolyte complex, the obtained complex can be damaged and destroyed by shifting the local pH to acidic for weak polyanions and to alkine for weak polycations. The Cationic polyelectrolyte complex consisting weak and strong Cationic polyelectrolytes displays sensitivity to the shift in the pH in only one direction, meaning that weak polyacid together with strong polybase can be used only for the release of inhibitors in acidic media and weak polyacid together with strong polybase for the release of inhibitors only in alkine media, whereas the Cationic polyelectrolyte complex composed of two weak Cationic polyelectrolytes constitutes a container shell, which displays sensitivity to the shift in the pH in both regions. Consequently, the Cationic polyelectrolyte shell of corrosion inhibitor carriers is able to prevent leakage of the corrosion inhibitor at nearly neutral pH and achieve smart release properties when corrosion commences with an alkine and acidic shift in the pH. The fabrication of inhibitor nanoreservoirs with sensitivity to either anodic or cathodic process or to both processes is possible by varying the Cationic polyelectrolyte shell material. Skorb and coworkers deposited Cationic polyelectrolyte shell using layer-by-layer method on the mesoporous silica NPs surface loaded with [2-(benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-succinic acid]. These NPs were doped in the sol–gel coating. The permeability of the shell increased in response to the alkaline and acidic region at the corroded surface, leading to releasing inhibitors. In addition, the zirconia–silica-based hybrid coating containing these NPs exhibited improved long-term protection against corrosion elements. Shi et al. fabricated submicrometer containers with the use of mesoporous silica particles and layer-by-layer method. The submicrometer containers constructed by this method exhibited higher corrosion inhibitor loading efficiency. The pH-triggered release of corrosion inhibitor as well as barrier effects of the matrix increased the corrosion protection performance. Electrosteric System Rheology Cationic polyelectrolytes are widely used as dispersants for high solids loaded colloids (>50 vol%). They combine principles of EDL and steric stabilization, or electrosteric stabilization, and they depend on pH and ionic strength, as Naito et al. discuss. At low solids loading (~20 vol%), viscosity is relatively low, and it is affected very little by pH changes. As solids loading increases, however, pH affects viscosity significantly. The amount of added Cationic polyelectrolyte also has a profound effect on colloidal rheology. It should be optimized to just saturate the surface. Additional Cationic polyelectrolytes result in excess amounts of polymer in the system, and excess polymer can cause depletion flocculation in high solids loaded systems. Conformation of adsorbed Cationic polyelectrolyte also plays an important role in rheological behavior of electrosterically stabilized colloids, and, in turn, Cationic polyelectrolyte conformation depends on the system’s pH. A detailed study of adsorption behavior on Al2O3 shows that Cationic polyelectrolyte adsorption on particles increases as pH decreases. Typically, a 10-fold increase of adsorbed amount is observed from the uncharged to the charged state. When pH increases or decreases beyond zero charge, the fraction of the Cationic polyelectrolyte dissociated moves toward 1. Hence, charges in the Cationic polyelectrolyte reCationic polyelectrolyte each other and the molecule stretches. At this moment, two models exist: the charged Cationic polyelectrolyte adsorbs flat on the surface or the Cationic polyelectrolyte adsorbs in a tail-like brush structure. Conformation shape of the adsorbed Cationic polyelectrolyte highly influences dispersion quality. Which types of structures – flat, pancake-like, or brush-like – are achieved depends on adsorption conditions and the materials involved. For pancake-like adsorption, the polymer only contributes short-range repulsive force, and EDL forces of the charged Cationic polyelectrolyte mainly contribute to stabilization via long-range interactions. For brush-style structures, the repulsion is much stronger, and true electrosteric contributions are present. Cationic polyelectrolytes can also be used as dispersants when they are uncharged, i.e. at their PZC. However, they will favor coil-like conformations. Hence, much higher molecular weights will be needed to achieve thicker layers of adsorbed polymer coils, and steric forces predominantly contribute to stabilization.

CEKOL 10000 is also used in cosmetics, toiletries, surgical prosthetics, and incontinence, personal hygiene, and food products.

Synthesis
CEKOL 10000 is formed when cellulose reacts with mono chloroacetic acid or its sodium salt under alkaline condition with presence of organic solvent, hydroxyl groups substituted by CEKOL 10000 groups in C2, C3 and C6 of glucose, which substitution slightly prevails at C2 position.
Generally, there are two steps in manufacturing process of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, alkalinization and etherification.

Step 1: Alkalinization
Disperse the raw material cellulose pulp in alkali solution (generally sodium hydroxide, 5–50%) to obtain alkali cellulose.
Cell-OH+NaOH →Cell·O-Na+ +H2O

Step 2: Etherification
Etherification of alkali cellulose with sodium monochloroacetate (up to 30%) in an alcohol-water medium.
The mixture of alkali cellulose and reagent is heated (50–75°C) and stirred during the process.
ClCH2COOH+NaOH→ClCH2COONa+H2O
Cell·O-Na+ +ClCH2COO- →Cell-OCH2COO-Na
The DS of the sodium CMC can be controlled by the reaction conditions and use of organic solvents (such as isopropanol).

Production Methods
Alkali cellulose is prepared by steeping cellulose obtained from wood pulp or cotton fibers in sodium hydroxide solution.
The alkaline cellulose is then reacted with sodium monochloroacetate to produce CEKOL 10000.
Sodium chloride and sodium glycolate are obtained as by-products of this etherification.

Preparation
CEKOL 10000 is synthesized by the alkali-catalyzed reaction of cellulose with chloroacetic acid.
The polar (organic acid) carboxyl groups render the cellulose soluble and chemically reactive.
Fabrics made of cellulose—e.g. cotton or viscose rayon—may also be converted into CEKOL 10000.

Following the initial reaction, the resultant mixture produces approximately 60% CEKOL 10000 and 40% salts (sodium chloride and sodium glycolate).
This product, called technical CEKOL 10000, is used in detergents.
An additional purification process is used to remove salts to produce pure CEKOL 10000, which is used for food and pharmaceutical applications.

PROPERTIES OF CEKOL 150 CELLULOSE GUM:
Food products incorporating CEKOL 150 Cellulose Gum are popular due to its water solubility, viscosity, and emulsion ability.
All of these traits contribute to making CEKOL 150 Cellulose Gum an ideal food additive, improving the look and shelf life of processed foods.
Overall, CEKOL 150 Cellulose Gum is considered safe for consumption in most cases.
There can be rare allergic reactions such as rash or difficulty breathing, which should not be ignored.



SOLUBILITY OF CEKOL 150 CELLULOSE GUM:
CEKOL 150 Cellulose Gum dissolves readily in water or wine, but should be left to swell overnight.
Dry/granular forms of CEKOL 150 Cellulose Gum might be difficult to prepare in some wineries, as very vigorous stirring can be required to dissolve the CMC due to high viscosity.
It is suggested that liquid forms of CEKOL 150 Cellulose Gum are easier to handle in large quantities.
CEKOL 150 Cellulose Gum can be diluted with wine to the required volume of the product, which can then be added to the wine tank with homogenisation.



PROTEIN STABILITY OF CEKOL 150 CELLULOSE GUM:
CEKOL 150 Cellulose Gum has the ability to crosslink with proteins in wine to form a haze. Consequently, wines must be protein stable before any CMC additions.
In fact, a wine must be ‘bottle ready’ before making a CEKOL 150 Cellulose Gum addition and no subsequent physicochemical modifications can be made after the addition.

That is, all blending, acid adjustments or deacidification treatment, concentrate additions etc. must be made and the wine must be free of any particulate matter before CEKOL 150 Cellulose Gum treatment.
Note that lysozyme is a protein and can generate a haze if present with CEKOL 150 Cellulose Gum.



FILTRATION OF CEKOL 150 CELLULOSE GUM:
Manufacturers of CEKOL 150 Cellulose Gum generally do not recommend any filtering operations at all within a minimum of 24 to 48 hours after the CMC addition.
CEKOL 150 Cellulose Gum needs to be fully solvated before attempting to filter, otherwise filters might block and it might be removed from solution.
Consequently, it is recommended that two to five days be allowed for the CEKOL 150 Cellulose Gum to integrate fully with the wine before any filtration.



ADDITION RATE OF CEKOL 150 CELLULOSE GUM:
Different CEKOL 150 Cellulose Gums vary in their degree of polymerisation and the degree of substitution.
Therefore, different CMCs will vary in their effectiveness.
Consequently, the rate of CEKOL 150 Cellulose Gum used should be that specified by the manufacturer.

In general, the rate of CEKOL 150 Cellulose Gum specified by the manufacturer is sufficient to achieve stability but the actual required effective dose can be wine variety dependent.
In the case of wines with a high tartrate loading, or in the case of rosé wines, a trial should be conducted in order to determine the rate required.

CAS Number: 9004-62-0
MDL number: MFCD00072770


Cellulose ethers are soluble in water.
This solubility, however, decreases with increasing temperature.
Cellulose ethers are the powdered cellulose ether generated with wood fiber or refined short cotton fiber as the main raw materials, after chemical treatment and by the reaction of etherifying agents such as chlorinated ethylene, chlorinated propylene and oxidized ethylene.


The production process of Cellulose ethers is complex.
Cellulose ethers form a non-ionic gel without the effect of electrolyte, suitable for formulations containing electrolyte.
Cellulose ethers start with the extraction of cellulose from cotton or wood, which then transforms into alkaline cellulose after adding sodium hydroxide and by chemical reaction (alkaline solution).


Cellulose ethers also have good film-forming ability and surface activity.
Under the action of etherifying agents (etherification reaction), Cellulose ethers are generated from alkaline cellulose through such processes as washing with water, drying and grinding.


Cellulose ethers are a white, free-flowing granular powder and is made by reacting ethylene oxide with alkali-cellulose.
Different etherifying agents can turn alkaline cellulose into different types of Cellulose ethers.
The molecular structure of cellulose is composed of the molecular bonds of dehydrated glucose units.


Cellulose ethers can be also be used to efficiently thicken shampoos, body washes and shower gels.
One of the problems normally associated with this and other water-soluble thickeners is the tendency of the particles to agglomerate or lump when first wetted with water.
The high-purity cosmetic grade of Cellulose ethers we offer is an R-grade, designed to be added to water without lumping, and thus greatly facilitating solution preparation.


Cellulose ethers are an excellent thickening agent for cosmetic and personal care formulations.
Each glucose unite contains three hydroxyl groups.
Under certain conditions, the hydroxyl groups will be substituted by methyl, hydroxyethyl, hydroxypropyl and the like groups, and can form cellulose of different varieties (for example, if substituted by methyl, then it is called methyl cellulose; if substituted by hydroxyethyl, then it is called hydroxyethyl cellulose; if substituted by hydroxypropyl, then it is called hydroxypropyl cellulose).


Since methyl cellulose is a mixed ether produced by the etherification reaction, with methyl as the main material but containing a small amount of hydroxyethyl or hydroxypropyl, it is called methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose ether or methyl hydroxypropyl cellulose ether.
This process permits the preparation of clear, smooth, viscous solutions in a short period of time by simply adding the R-grade to water and stirring until the polymer is completely dissolved to prevent settling of the particles.


The inhibition period, from the initial wetting to the start of dissolution, is referred to as the hydration time.

Cellulose gum is produced from the structural parts of certain plants, primarily trees or cotton.
Cellulose gum sources are farmed sustainably and processed using a form of acetic acid and salt.
Acetic acid is a mild acid which is a main component of vinegar.
After mixing the cotton or wood with acetic acid and salt, the mixture is filtered and dried to create a fine powder—the cellulose gum.
Cellulose gum is very useful as only a small amount needs to be added to foods to maintain moisture or increase texture and thickness.
As a result, you will often find Cellulose gum listed near the end of the ingredients list in foods.

Cellulose Gum, also known as carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) or sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, is a common ingredient used in cosmetics.
Cellulose Gum is a white or off-white powder that serves as a versatile additive in cosmetic formulations.
Cellulose Gum is widely employed as a stabilizer, emulsifier, and thickening agent.
Cellulose Gums presence in cosmetics helps to enhance product texture, viscosity, and overall performance.
Cellulose Gum has excellent water-binding properties, contributing to improved hydration and moisture retention in skincare and hair care products.
Cellulose Gum is valued for its ability to create smooth and creamy formulations while providing stability and consistency.

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is used in a large variety of applications ranging from food production to medical treatments.
It is commonly used as a viscosity modifier or thickener, and to stabilize emulsions in various products, both food and non-food.
It is used primarily because it has high viscosity, is nontoxic, and is generally considered to be hypoallergenic, as the major source fiber is either softwood pulp or cotton linter.
Non-food products include products such as toothpaste, laxatives, diet pills, water-based paints, detergents, textile sizing, reusable heat packs, various paper products, filtration materials, synthetic membranes, wound healing applications, and also in leather crafting to help burnish edges.

Production Methods
Alkali cellulose is prepared by steeping cellulose obtained from wood pulp or cotton fibers in sodium hydroxide solution.
The alkaline cellulose is then reacted with sodium monochloroacetate to produce Cellulose Gum.
Sodium chloride and sodium glycolate are obtained as by-products of this etherification.

Synthesis
Cellulose Gum is formed when cellulose reacts with mono chloroacetic acid or its sodium salt under alkaline condition with presence of organic solvent, hydroxyl groups substituted by Sodium carboxymethyl groups in C2, C3 and C6 of glucose, which substitution slightly prevails at C2 position.
Generally, there are two steps in manufacturing process of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, alkalinization and etherification.
Step 1: Alkalinization
Disperse the raw material cellulose pulp in alkali solution (generally sodium hydroxide, 5–50%) to obtain alkali cellulose.
Cell-OH+NaOH →Cell·O-Na+ +H2O
Step 2: Etherification
Etherification of alkali cellulose with sodium monochloroacetate (up to 30%) in an alcohol-water medium.
The mixture of alkali cellulose and reagent is heated (50–75°C) and stirred during the process.
ClCH2COOH+NaOH→ClCH2COONa+H2O
Cell·O-Na+ +ClCH2COO- →Cell-OCH2COO-Na
The DS of the sodium CMC can be controlled by the reaction conditions and use of organic solvents (such as isopropanol).
CELLULOSE GUM
Cellulose gum is the sodium salt of carboxymethyl cellulose, an anionic cellulose ether in which some of the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose molecule have been replaced with a carboxy group.
Cellulose gum is a thickening agent that is made by reacting cellulose (wood pulp, cotton lint) with a derivative of acetic acid (the acid in vinegar).
Cellulose gum is a water dispersible sodium salt of carboxy-methyl ether of cellulose that forms a clear colloidal solution.

Introduction:
Cellulose gum is used in a variety of applications ranging from food production to medical treatments.
Cellulose gum is commonly used as a viscosity modifier or thickener, and to stabilize emulsions in various products, both food and non-food.

Cellulose gum is used primarily because Cellulose gum has high viscosity, is nontoxic, and is generally considered to be hypoallergenic, as the major source fiber is either softwood pulp or cotton linter.
Non-food products include products such as toothpaste, laxatives, diet pills, water-based paints, detergents, textile sizing, reusable heat packs, various paper products, filtration materials, synthetic membranes, wound healing applications, and also in leather crafting to help burnish edges.

Food science:
Cellulose gum is used in food under the E number E466 or E469 (when Cellulose gum is enzymatically hydrolyzed), as a viscosity modifier or thickener, and to stabilize emulsions in various products, including ice cream.
Cellulose gum is also used extensively in gluten-free and reduced-fat food products.

Cellulose gum is used to achieve tartrate or cold stability in wine, an innovation that may save megawatts of electricity used to chill wine in warm climates.
Cellulose gum is more stable than metatartaric acid and is very effective in inhibiting tartrate precipitation.
Cellulose gum is reported that KHT crystals, in presence of Cellulose gum, grow slower and change their morphology.

Their shape becomes flatter because they lose 2 of the 7 faces, changing their dimensions.
Cellulose gum molecules, negatively charged at wine pH, interact with the electropositive surface of the crystals, where potassium ions are accumulated.
The slower growth of the crystals and the modification of their shape are caused by the competition between Cellulose gum molecules and bitartrate ions for binding to the KHT crystals.

Specific culinary uses:
Cellulose gum powder is widely used in the ice cream industry, to make ice creams without churning or extremely low temperatures, thereby eliminating the need for conventional churners or salt ice mixes.
Cellulose gum is used in baking breads and cakes.
The use of Cellulose gum gives the loaf an improved quality at a reduced cost, by reducing the need of fat.

Cellulose gum is also used as a thickening agent, for example, in the oil-drilling industry as an ingredient of drilling mud, where Cellulose gumacts as a viscosity modifier and water retention agent.

Cellulose gum is sometimes used as an electrode binder in advanced battery applications (i.e. lithium ion batteries), especially with graphite anodes.
Cellulose gum's water solubility allows for less toxic and costly processing than with non-water-soluble binders, like the traditional polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), which requires toxic n-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) for processing.
Cellulose gum is often used in conjunction with styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) for electrodes requiring extra flexibility, e.g. for use with silicon-containing anodes.

Cellulose gum is also used in ice packs to form a eutectic mixture resulting in a lower freezing point, and therefore more cooling capacity than ice.

Adverse reactions of Cellulose gum:
Effects on inflammation, microbiota-related metabolic syndrome, and colitis are a subject of research.
Cellulose gum is suggested as a possible cause of inflammation of the gut, through alteration of the human gastrointestinal microbiota, and has been suggested as a triggering factor in inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

Skin testing is believed to be a useful diagnostic tool for this purpose.
Cellulose gum was the active ingredient in an eye drop brand Ezricare Artificial Tears which was recalled due to potential bacterial contamination.

Preparation of Cellulose gum:
Cellulose gum is synthesized by the alkali-catalyzed reaction of cellulose with chloroacetic acid.
The polar (organic acid) carboxyl groups render the cellulose soluble and chemically reactive.
Fabrics made of cellulose—e.g. cotton or viscose rayon—may also be converted into Cellulose gum.

Following the initial reaction, the resultant mixture produces approximately 60% Cellulose gum and 40% salts (sodium chloride and sodium glycolate).
Cellulose gum is the so-called technical Cellulose gum, which is used in detergents.

An additional purification process is used to remove salts to produce pure Cellulose gum, which is used for alimentary and pharmaceutical applications.
An intermediate "semi-purified" grade is also produced, typically used in paper applications such as the restoration of archival documents.

Structure and properties of Cellulose gum:
The functional properties of Cellulose gum depend on the degree of substitution of the cellulose structure [i.e., how many of the hydroxyl groups have been converted to carboxymethylene(oxy) groups in the substitution reaction], as well as the chain length of the cellulose backbone structure and the degree of clustering of the carboxymethyl substituents.

Structure:
Cellulose gum is typical ionic-type cellulose ether and the frequently used product is Cellulose gum sodium salt, as well as ammonium and aluminum salts.
Sometimes, Cellulose gum acids can be produced.

When degree of substitution (that is, the average value of hydroxyl groups reacted with the substitution of each anhydrous glucose monomer) is 1, Cellulose gum molecular formula is [C6H7O2 (OH) 2OCH2COONa] n.
With drying at the temperature of 105℃ and constant weight, the content of sodium is 6.98-8.5%.

Appearance and Solubility:
The pure Cellulose gum is white or milk white fibrous powder or particles, odorless and tasteless.
Cellulose gumis insoluble in organic solvents such as methanol, alcohol, diethyl ether, acetone, chloroform and benzene but soluble in water.
Degree of substitution is an important factor influencing water solubility and the viscosity of Cellulose gum also has a great effect on the water solubility.

In general when the viscosity is within 25-50Pa•s and the degree of substitution is about 0.3, Cellulose gumshows alkaline solubility and while the degree of substitution is over 0.4, Cellulose gumshows water solubility.
With the rise of DS, the transparency of solution improves accordingly.
In addition, the replacement homogeneity also has an great effect on the solubility.

Hygroscopicity:
Cellulose gum equilibrium water content will increase with the rise of air humidity but decrease with the rise of temperature.
At room temperature and average humidity of 80-85%, the equilibrium water content is more than 26% but moisture content in Cellulose gums is lower than 10%, lower than the former.
As far as Cellulose gum shape is concerned, even if the water content is about 15%, there seems no difference in appearance.

However, when the moisture content reaches above 20%, inter-particle mutual adhesion can be perceived and the higher the viscosity is, the more evident Cellulose gumwill become.
For these polarized high-molecular compounds like Cellulose gum, the hygroscopic degree is not only affected by the relative humidity but also by the number of polarity.

The higher the degree os substitution is, that is, the larger the number of polarity, the stronger the hygroscopicity will be.
Moreover, crystallinity also affects Cellulose gumand the higher the crystallinity is, the smaller the hygroscopic will be.

Compatibility:
Cellulose gum has good compatibility with other kinds of water-soluble glues, softeners and resin.
For example, Cellulose gumis compatible with animal glues, dimethoxy dimethylurea gel, Arabic gum, pectin, tragacanth gum, ethylene glycol, sorbitol, glycerol, invert sugar, soluble starch and sodium alginate.

Cellulose gumis also compatible with casein, Cellulose gum of melamine- formaldehyde resin and ethylene glycol, urea formaldehyde ethylene glycol resin, methyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), phosphate nitrilotriacetic acid, and sodium silicate but the degree is slightly poorer.
1% Cellulose gum solution is compatible with most inorganic salts.

Dissociation Constant:
In the giant polymer matrix of Cellulose gum, there are plenty of electrolyzing groups (carboxymethyl groups).
The acidity is similar to that of acetic acid and the dissociation constant is 5×10-5.
The dissociation strength has an considerable effect on the electrical properties of Cellulose gum.

Biochemical Properties:
Although Cellulose gum solution is difficult to get rotten than natural gums, under certain conditions, some microbes enable Cellulose gumto get rotten, especially with cellulose and taka-amylase reactions, leading to the decrease of solution viscosity.
The higher the DS of Cellulose gum is, the less Cellulose gumwill be affected by enzymes and this is because the side chain linked with glucose residues prevents enzymolysis.

Since the enzyme action leads to the breakage of Cellulose gum main chain and generates reducing sugar, in this way the degree of polymerization will decrease and the solution viscosity will accordingly decrease.

Synthesis
Cellulose Gum (E466) is formed when cellulose reacts with mono chloroacetic acid or its sodium salt under alkaline condition with presence of organic solvent, hydroxyl groups substituted by Sodium carboxymethyl groups in C2, C3 and C6 of glucose, which substitution slightly prevails at C2 position.
Generally, there are two steps in manufacturing process of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, alkalinization and etherification.
Step 1: Alkalinization
Disperse the raw material cellulose pulp in alkali solution (generally sodium hydroxide, 5–50%) to obtain alkali cellulose.
Cell-OH+NaOH →Cell·O-Na+ +H2O
Step 2: Etherification
Etherification of alkali cellulose with sodium monochloroacetate (up to 30%) in an alcohol-water medium.
The mixture of alkali cellulose and reagent is heated (50–75°C) and stirred during the process.
ClCH2COOH+NaOH→ClCH2COONa+H2O
Cell·O-Na+ +ClCH2COO- →Cell-OCH2COO-Na
The DS of the sodium CMC can be controlled by the reaction conditions and use of organic solvents (such as isopropanol).

Preparation
Cellulose Gum (E466) is synthesized by the alkali-catalyzed reaction of cellulose with chloroacetic acid.
The polar (organic acid) carboxyl groups render the cellulose soluble and chemically reactive.
Fabrics made of cellulose—e.g. cotton or viscose rayon—may also be converted into CMC.
Following the initial reaction, the resultant mixture produces approximately 60% CMC and 40% salts (sodium chloride and sodium glycolate).
This product, called technical CMC, is used in detergents.
An additional purification process is used to remove salts to produce pure CMC, which is used for food and pharmaceutical applications.
An intermediate "semi-purified" grade is also produced, typically used in paper applications such as the restoration of archival documents.

Production Methods
Alkali cellulose is prepared by steeping cellulose obtained from wood pulp or cotton fibers in sodium hydroxide solution.
The alkaline cellulose is then reacted with sodium monochloroacetate to produce carboxymethylcellulose sodium. Sodium chloride and sodium glycolate are obtained as by-products of this etherification.

Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) (GMS) is one of the most commonly used ingredients in personal care formulations. But it's a material that is not well understood by most formulators. GMS (EU) is normally used as a low-HLB thickening agent in lamellar gel (EU) network (LGN)-based oil-in-water emulsions, often combined with fatty alcohols. Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate), also known as Glyceryl MonoStearate, or GMS, is EcoCert certified. Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) is the natural glyceryl ester from stearic acid (glycerin and stearic acid) which offers skin conditioning, moisturization and hydration due to the glycerin component. Functions as a non-ionic opacifier, thickener, and formulation stabilizer, where it also imparts a softer, smoother, feel to your emulsions. Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) is one of the best choices, for thickening and stabilizing, to use in combination with the lactylates, where it also functions as an emollient, and gives the emulsion more smoothness. SPECIFICATIONS Off White Flake / Granule Characteristic Odor Oil Soluble Store Tightly Closed, Protected from Heat 24 Month Shelf when Properly Handled, and Stored GUIDELINES Add to Oil Phase 2.0 to 5.0% Cerasynt SD is the end result of reaction between glycerin and stearic acid. We all know what glycerin is and does (generally vegetable based humectant), and stearic acid is a fatty acid compound extracted from a variety of vegetable, animal, and oil sources such as palm kernel and soy. The end result of the reaction with glycerin and stearic acid is a cream-colored, waxy like substance. Details A super common, waxy, white, solid stuff that helps water and oil to mix together, gives body to creams and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth. Chemically speaking, it is the attachment of a glycerin molecule to the fatty acid called stearic acid. It can be produced from most vegetable oils (in oils three fatty acid molecules are attached to glycerin instead of just one like here) in a pretty simple, "green" process that is similar to soap making. It's readily biodegradable. NAMELY Glycerol stearate is used as a non-ionic emulsifier or emollient in cosmetic products.

Derived from: coconut Pronunciation: (\ˈglis-rəl\ \stē-ə-ˌrāt\) Type: Naturally-derived Other names: monostearate What Is Cerasynt SD? Cerasynt SD, also called glyceryl monostearate, is a white or pale yellow waxy substance derived from palm kernel, olives, or coconuts. What Does Cerasynt SD Do in Our products? Cerasynt SD is an emollient that keeps products blended together; it can also be a surfactant, emulsifier, and thickener in food — often it’s used as a dough conditioner and to keep things from going stale.[1] In our products, however, Cerasynt SD is used for its most common purpose — to bind moisture to the skin. For this reason, it is a common ingredient in thousands of cosmetic products, including lotions, makeup, skin cleansers, and other items. Why Puracy Uses Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) We use Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) in several of our products as a moisturizer; it also forms a barrier on the skin and prevents products from feeling greasy. As an emulsifier, it also allows products to stay blended.[5] Several studies and clinical tests find that Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) causes little or no skin or eye irritation and is not a danger in formulations that might be inhaled.[6,7,8] In addition, a number of clinical trials have found that Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) in moisturizers can lessen symptoms and signs of atopic dermatitis, including pruritus, erythema, fissuring, and lichenification.[9] In 1982 and again in 2015, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review deemed the ingredient safe for use in cosmetics.[10] Whole Foods has deemed the ingredient acceptable in its body care quality standards.[11] How Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) Is Made Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) is formed through a reaction of glycerin with stearic acid, which is a fatty acid that comes from animal and vegetable fats and oils. Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) SE, the self-emulsifying form of the substance, is made by reacting an excess of stearic acid with glycerin. The excess stearic acid is then reacted with potassium and/or sodium hydroxide. That produces a substance that contains Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate), potassium stearate, and/or sodium stearate Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) (GMS) is one of the most commonly used ingredients in personal care formulations. But it’s a material that is not well understood by most formulators. GMS (EU) is normally used as a low-HLB thickening agent in lamellar gel (EU) network (LGN)-based oil-in-water emulsions, often combined with fatty alcohols. LGN-based emulsions containing thickening polymers are the most common type of oil-in-water formulations sold globally. Most GMS used in personal care products should actually be called glyceryl distearate (EU), since many common grades only contain around 40% alpha monostearate (EU), 5% glyceryl tristearate (EU), and 50% glyceryl distearate. There are also grades commercially available that contain 30%, 60%, and 90% GMS. The 90% alpha mono grades can only be produced by molecular distillation and are widely used in the food industry. Functionally, there is a big difference in performance if you use a 90% versus 40% mono. A 90% mono has a higher melting point (69°C versus 58-63°C), lighter skin feel, and a higher HLB (EU) (~4-5, versus ~3). The higher HLB of the 90% mono enables you to form LGNs much easier with lower emulsifier levels and energy than when using cetyl (EU)/stearyl alcohol (EU). There are also self-emulsifying (SE) grades of GMS available, which are typically combined with PEG 100 stearate (EU), potassium stearate (EU), or sodium lauryl sulfate (EU). Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate), commonly known as GMS, is a monoglyceride commonly used as an emulsifier in foods.[3] It takes the form of a white, odorless, and sweet-tasting flaky powder that is hygroscopic. Chemically it is the glycerol ester of stearic acid. Structure, synthesis, and occurrence Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) exists as three stereoisomers, the enantiomeric pair of 1-Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) and 2-Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate). Typically these are encountered as a mixture as many of their properties are similar. Commercial material used in foods is produced industrially by a glycerolysis reaction between triglycerides (from either vegetable or animal fats) and glycerol. Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) occurs naturally in the body as a product of the breakdown of fats by pancreatic lipase. It is present at very low levels in certain seed oils. Uses Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) is a food additive used as a thickening, emulsifying, anticaking, and preservative agent; an emulsifying agent for oils, waxes, and solvents; a protective coating for hygroscopic powders; a solidifier and control release agent in pharmaceuticals; and a resin lubricant. It is also used in cosmetics and hair-care products.[5] Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) is largely used in baking preparations to add "body" to the food. It is somewhat responsible for giving ice cream and whipped cream their smooth texture. It is sometimes used as an antistaling agent in bread. What Is It?

Cerasynt SD Cerasynt SD is created by the esterification of glycerin and stearic acid. Cerasynt SD creates an excellent emulsion and when used in combination with other emulsifiers, creates a stable lotion. Characteristics An interesting characteristic of Cerasynt SD is the ability to make the oils which are combined in the emulsion non greasy, so for example Sunflower can be combined, without adding greasiness to the final product, allowing creams and lotions to be produced which carry the properties of the oil without the greasiness. Cerasynt SD can be used to pearlise shower gel, shampoo and hand wash if added in combination with glycerine. How to use Heat the Cerasynt SD to 60c - 70c within the oil stage of your formulations. Ensure the Cerasynt SD is fully dissolved into your oil stage (use agitation if required) in order to minimise the risk of graininess in your final formulation. Precautions At pure usage levels it can cause irritation to the skin. When blending always take the following precautions: Use gloves (disposable are ideal) Take care when handling hot oils Wear eye protection Work in a well ventilated room Keep ingredients and hot oils away from children If ingested, seek immediate medical advice If contact made with eyes, rinse immediately with clean warm water and seek medical advice if in any doubt. Safety First In addition to our precautions and general safety information, we always recommend keeping a first aid kit nearby. You are working with hot water and oils, accidents can happen, so always be prepared! Is Cerasynt SD Safe? Toxicity The safety of PEG compounds has been called into question in recent years. The questioning of the safety of this ingredient is due to toxicity concerns that result from impurities found in PEG compounds. The impurities of concern are ethylene oxide and 1,4 dioxane, both are by-products of the manufacturing process. Both 1,4 dioxane and ethylene oxide have been suggested to be linked with breast and uterine cancers. While these impurities may have been a concern previously, ingredient manufacturers and improved processes have eliminated the risk of impurities in the final product. The level of impurities that were found initially in PEG manufacturing was low in comparison to the levels proposed to be linked to cancers. Longitudinal studies or studies over a long period of use of PEG compounds have not found any significant toxicity or any significant impact on reproductive health. When applied topically, Cerasynt SD is not believed to pose significant dangers to human health. It doesn’t penetrate deeply into the skin and isn’t thought to have bioaccumulation concerns when used topically. Irritation Through research, PEG compounds have exhibited evidence that they are non-irritating ingredients to the eyes or the skin. This research used highly concentrated forms of the ingredient, concentrations that would not be found in your skincare products. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel found PEG compounds to be non-photosensitizing and non-irritating at concentrations up to 100%. However, despite the evidence suggesting that PEG compounds are non-irritating, some research has indicated that irritation can occur when the skin is broken or already irritated. In a study that was trialing the use of PEG containing antimicrobial cream on burn patients, some patients experienced kidney toxicity. The concentration of PEG compounds was identified to be the culprit. Given that there was no evidence of toxicity in any study of PEGs and intact skin, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel amended their safety guidelines to exclude the use of PEG containing products on broken or damaged skin. Is Cerasynt SD Vegan? Depending on the source of the stearic acid used to make Cerasynt SD, it may be vegan. Most of the time, stearic acid is derived from plants. However, it can also be derived from animal origin. If it is of animal origin, the product has to comply with animal by-product regulation. Check with the brand you are thinking of using to determine whether their Cerasynt SD is derived from a plant or animal source. Why Is Cerasynt SD Used? Emulsifier Cerasynt SD is included in skincare and beauty products for a variety of reasons, ranging from making the skin softer to helping product formulations better keep their original consistency. As an emollient, Cerasynt SD is included within skincare product formulations to give the skin a softer feel. It achieves this through strengthening the skin’s moisture barrier by forming a thin fatty layer on the skin’s surface, which prevents moisture loss and increases overall hydration. This moisturizing effect increases the hydration of skin cells, which in turn makes the skin softer and boosts skin health. Texture Another use for Cerasynt SD has to do with its emulsification properties. Emulsifiers are valued in the skincare and personal care industries because of their ability to mix water and oils. Without this ability, the oils in many formulations would begin to separate from the water molecules, thus undermining product texture and consistency. Cerasynt SD is also used to help to cleanse through mixing oil and dirt so that it can be rinsed away. Surfactant Lastly, Cerasynt SD can also act as a surfactant, when used in body and facial cleansers. Surfactants disrupt surface tension, helping to mix water and oil. This characteristic helps the ingredient cleanse the skin by mixing oil with water, lifting dirt trapped inside the skin’s oils, and rinsing it away from the skin. What Types of Products Contain Cerasynt SD? There are many products in the skin and personal care industry that are formulated with Cerasynt SD because of its benefits to formulations and its relative safety. Facial cleansers, shampoos, lotions, and face creams have all been known to contain this ingredient. If you’ve had problems with this ingredient before, or if your doctor has advised you to stay away from Cerasynt SD, it’s vital to read ingredient labels for any personal care product as it has many applications. What are PEGs? You have probably noticed that many of cosmetics and personal care products you use have different types of PEGs among ingredients. PEG, which is the abbreviation of polyethylene glycol, is not a definitive chemical entity in itself, but rather a mixture of compounds, of polymers that have been bonded together. Polyethylene is the most common form of plastic, and when combined with glycol, it becomes a thick and sticky liquid. PEGs are almost often followed by a number, for example PEG-6, PEG-8, PEG 100 and so on. This number represents the approximate molecular weight of that compound. Typically, cosmetics use PEGs with smaller molecular weights. The lower the molecular weight, the easier it is for the compound to penetrate the skin. Often, PEGs are connected to another molecule. You might see, for example, Cerasynt SD as an ingredient. This means that the polyethylene glycol polymer with an approximate molecular weight of 100 is attached chemically to stearic acid. In cosmetics, PEGs function in three ways: as emollients (which help soften and lubricate the skin), as emulsifiers (which help water-based and oil-based ingredients mix properly), and as vehicles that help deliver other ingredients deeper into the skin. What effect do Cerasynt SD have on your skin? Polyethylene glycol compounds have not received a lot of attention from consumer groups but they should. The most important thing to know about PEGs is that they have a penetration enhancing effect, the magnitude of which is dependent upon a variety of variables. These include: both the structure and molecular weight of the PEG, other chemical constituents in the formula, and, most importantly, the overall health of the skin. PEGs of all sizes may penetrate through injured skin with compromised barrier function. So it is very important to avoid products with PEGs if your skin is not in best condition. Skin penetration enhancing effects have been shown with PEG-2 and PEG-9 stearate. This penetration enhancing effect is important for three reasons: 1) If your skin care product contains a bunch of other undesirable ingredients, PEGs will make it easier for them to get down deep into your skin. 2) By altering the surface tension of the skin, PEGs may upset the natural moisture balance. 3) Cerasynt SD are not always pure, but often come contaminated with a host of toxic impurities. Impurities and other Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) risks According to a report in the International Journal of Toxicology by the cosmetic industry’s own Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) committee, impurities found in various PEG compounds include ethylene oxide; 1,4-dioxane; polycyclic aromatic compounds; and heavy metals such as lead, iron, cobalt, nickel, cadmium, and arsenic. Many of these impurities are linked to cancer. PEG compounds often contain small amounts of ethylene oxide. Ethylene oxide (found in PEG-4, PEG-7, PEG4-dilaurate, and PEG 100) is highly toxic — even in small doses — and was used in World War I nerve gas. Exposure to ethylene glycol during its production, processing and clinical use has been linked to increased incidents of leukemia as well as several types of cancer. Finally, there is 1,4-dioxane (found in PEG-6, PEG-8, PEG-32, PEG-75, PEG-150, PEG-14M, and PEG-20M), which, on top of being a known carcinogen, may also combine with atmospheric oxygen to form explosive peroxides — not exactly something you want going on your skin. Even though responsible manufacturers do make efforts to remove these impurities (1,4-dioxane that can be removed from cosmetics through vacuum stripping during processing without an unreasonable increase in raw material cost), the cosmetic and personal care product industry has shown little interest in doing so. Surprisingly, PEG compounds are also used by natural cosmetics companies. If you find Cerasynt SD (glyceryl monostearate) in your cosmetics… Although you might find conflicting information online regarding Polyethylene Glycol, PEGs family and their chemical relatives, it is something to pay attention to when choosing cosmetic and personal care products. If you have sensitive or damaged skin it might be a good idea to avoid products containing PEGs. Using CosmEthics app you can easy add PEGs to personal alerts. In our last blog post we wrote about vegan ingredients. Natural glycols are a good alternative to PEGs, for example natural vegetable glycerin can be used as both moisturiser and emulsifier. CosmEthics vegan list can help you find products that use vegetable glycerin as wetting agent. At present, there is not enough information shown on product labels to enable you to determine whether PEG compounds are contaminated. But if you must buy a product containing PEGs just make sure that your PEGs are coming from a respected brand. Glyceryl stearate and Cerasynt SD is a combination of two emulsifying ingredients. The stabilising effect of both means that the product remains blended and will not separate. Description Glyceryl stearate is a solid and waxy compound. It is made by reacting glycerine (a soap by-product) with stearic acid (a naturally occurring, vegetable fatty acid). Cerasynt SD is an off-white, solid ester of polyethylene glycol (a binder and a softener) and stearic acid.
