Dehydrated Castor Oil
Dehydrated castor oil (DCO) is a drying oil used in alkyd resins, paints, varnishes and inks, giving tough, flexible films that resist yellowing.
- Also known as
- DCO
- Grades / forms
- Standard & bodied
Overview
Dehydration converts castor oil's ricinoleic acid into conjugated fatty acids, turning a non-drying oil into a fast-drying one similar to tung oil. Alkyds made with DCO dry quickly and yellow less than linseed-based resins.
It is supplied in several viscosities, including heat-bodied grades for varnishes.
