Description

Hydrogenated Sperm Oil CAS NO 8016-73-7 is a fully saturated derivative of natural sperm oil, produced via catalytic hydrogenation to enhance its stability and performance characteristics. This process yields a high-quality, stable lipid with excellent lubricity, emolliency, and oxidative resistance, making it a valuable alternative to traditional animal and vegetable oils. It is essential for formulators and manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and high-performance lubricant industries seeking consistent, long-lasting, and skin-compatible ingredients.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and hair care products, providing a non-greasy, smooth feel.
• High-Performance Lubricants & Greases: Serves as a base stock or additive in specialty lubricants for fine machinery, textile manufacturing, and metalworking due to its excellent film strength and stability.
• Pharmaceutical Ointments & Topicals: Used as an occlusive base or penetration enhancer in medicated creams and ointments, offering good spreadability and compatibility with active ingredients.
• Leather Treatment & Conditioning: Employed as a softening and waterproofing agent for high-grade leather goods, providing deep conditioning without rancidity.
• Technical & Industrial Fluids: Functions as a component in release agents, mold lubricants, and corrosion inhibitors where thermal and oxidative stability are required.
• Soap & Detergent Manufacturing: Utilized as a superfatting agent and lather stabilizer in specialty soap bars, contributing to a rich, creamy lather and mildness.

Quality Control

Our Hydrogenated Sperm Oil is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests including iodine value, saponification value, acid value, peroxide value, and color determination. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are provided with every shipment. We adhere to relevant cosmetic and industrial ingredient guidelines to meet our global customers' quality and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). This product is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., under nitrogen) is recommended to preserve quality and prevent rancidity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and heat sources.
