Vegetable oil, hydrogenated, Type I (Hard fat) has the general structural formula of R1COOCH2-CH(OOCR2)-CH2OOCR3, where R1, R2 and R3 are primarily C15 and C17. Commercial products available include hydrogenated cottonseed oil, hydrogenated palm oil and hydrogenated soybean oil. It is described as a mixture of triglycerides of fatty acids and the two types listed in the USP/NF are characterized by their physical properties. It is used as a lubricant in tablet and capsule formulations at concentrations of 1 to 6%, usually combined with talc. It is also used as a matrix-forming material in lipophilic-based controlled-release formulations and as a controlled release coating. Other uses include the preparation of suppositories, oil-based liquids and semisolid formulations and in the formulation of liquid and semisolid fills for hard-gelatin capsules. It is soluble in chloroform, petroleum spirit and hot propan-2-ol and practically insoluble in water. It is listed as incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. It must be labeled to state that it is Type I.11
