Liquid PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil?
Hello All!
I am considering to buy a new ingredient PEG 40 Hydrogenerated castor oil. I have never used it before but I though it should be semi-solid. One of my favorite UK suppliers has it in a liquid form and they say it can be used cold. Has anyone tried the liquid form?

@ngarayeva001 it is generally used as solubilizer in Ratio 4 (PEG) : 1 (Perfume)

Thank you @Fekher. I am trying to understand if the liquid form is the same as semi-solid. I usually buy from makingcosmetics and they sell semi-solid wax like product.

@ngarayeva001 PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a very common solubilizer and is a workhorse in many markets. In my experience, it is much like Coconut Oil and will become solid or wax-like in cooler environments. This doesn’t affect the performance of the product. I will routinely place these type if ingredients into a beaker in a 40C water bath and they quickly liquify.

you are welcome @ngarayeva001

@Microformulation, Thank you. I also thought it should be like a coconut butter, but this supplier says it’s a liquid form that can be used for a cold process. Well, I guess the only way to figure out is to try it

The RH 40 version from BASF has a melting point of 20C. The RH 60 version has a MP of 27C. So, depending on your room temperature or the temps it’s been exposed to, it may be solid, liquid or a mix.

May I ask what is the difference between RH 40 and RH 60? May I replace RH 60 with RH 40? I would like to use this product as solubilizer for oils /tea tree oil/.Thanks!
