Hydrogenated rapeseed oil

Hydrogenated rapeseed oil (CAS 84681-71-0) is a fully or partially hardened vegetable fat derived from rapeseed, converted through catalytic hydrogenation to produce a solid or semi-solid fat with a stable shelf life.

It functions as a structuring fat, lubricant, and emollient across food manufacturing, personal care, and industrial applications. In food production, it serves as a functional fat in margarines, shortenings, and bakery fillings.

Its controlled melting profile determines texture and mouthfeel in various culinary products. Personal care formulators incorporate it into lip balms, body butters, and skin creams as a skin-conditioning base with low oxidative instability.

Industrial lubricant manufacturers use it as a bio-based alternative in metalworking fluids and release agents. Its solid consistency at room temperature supports film-forming performance in heavy-duty industrial settings.

It also acts as a carrier and dispersing medium in compound coatings and confectionery applications requiring precise fat crystallization. This versatility makes it a staple ingredient for manufacturers seeking reliable texture control.

Hydrogenated rapeseed oil is available in flake, pastille, and block forms, with semi-solid and fully hardened variants supplied depending on the degree of hydrogenation. Standard grades include food-grade (FCC-compliant) specifications.

Cosmetic-grade specifications are also available to meet the needs of the personal care industry. Technical-grade material is provided for industrial lubricant and release agent applications requiring specific melting points.
