Castorwax® MP-70

Castorwax® MP-70 is a white to off-white wax like compound obtained by the controlled partial hydrogenation of pure castor oil. The principle constituent is glycerol tri-(12-hydroxystearate), also known as opalwax. Castorwax® MP-70 is a soft, lower melting point wax that is insoluble in most organic solvents but is highly compatible with most resins and waxes.
