Properties and application
WITEPSOL® H grades are hard fats with a low hydroxyl value of max. 15. They comprise mainly of triglycerides with portions of max. 15% of diglycerides and max. 1% of monoglycerides. WITEPSOL® H 19 is a hard fat containing certain amounts of stabilized Glyceryl Ricinoleate which lead to a slightly higher hydroxyl value compared to the other H grades. They are characterized by a short gap between melting and solidification temperatures, showing a low tendency of posthardening (polymorphism). Shock cooling should be avoided because of their brittleness.
