Hydrogenated Castor Oil Powder- Jaycaswax

LUBRICATION (Jaycaswax) has a very wide use in the lubricant industry. It is used in the manufacturing of multi purpose lithium and calcium premium grease formulations which are stable for wide temperature ranges. These greases exhibit excellent resistance to water, oils and fats, solvents, crude petroleum and their derivatives. They are used in speciality grease products. Jaycaswax is used in powdered form for compressed metal powders and tableting. It is also used as an ingredient of drawing, cutting, buffing and lapping compounds. In sintered ceramics, at a level of 2% it gives excellent lubrication during molding, increases strenght and impact resistance to the finished item.
