Polymerized oils (heat-bodied oils) were hydrogenated to make a
semi-crystalline wax-like material. The process of the present invention
yields hydrogenated polymerized oils that can be used as bio-renewable
replacements for micro-crystalline wax and petrolatums raw materials in
products that are comprised of such materials. The present invention is
directed to a composition comprising a hydrogenated polymerized oil, a
composition consisting essentially of a hydrogenated polymerized oil and
a process of preparing a hydrogenated polymerized oil. The present
invention is also directed to a composition comprising a hydrogenated
blown oil, a composition consisting essentially of a hydrogenated blown
oil and a process for preparing a hydrogenated blown oil. The present
invention is also directed to a composition comprising a hydrogenated
copolymer oil or a hydrogenated copolymer/vegetable oil blend, a
composition consisting essentially of a hydrogenated copolymer oil or a
hydrogenated copolymer/vegetable oil blend, and a process for preparing a
hydrogenated copolymer oil or hydrogenated copolymer/vegetable oil blend.
