Refined Castor Oil - First Special Grade (FSG) / British Standard Specifications (BSS)

Refined castor oil(RCO) is produced by refining Commercial Grade Castor Oil(CCO) which is produced by crushing the steam cooked castor seeds in expeller. The CCO is refined by undergoing bleaching and filtering process, which helps to reduce colour, F.F.A. and Moisture content. Refined Castor Oil is further used for the production of other castor oil derivatives and valuable industrial products.

Applications:

  • As an ingredient in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.
  • As lubricant component of coatings for vitamin and mineral Tablets.
  • As an ingredient for petroleum oil-field de-emulsification.
  • In combinations with styrene & diisocynates for a film forming Varnish or a substantially insoluble infusible polymer.
  • As capacitor impregnate.
  • As a sonar transducer fluid.
  • As a dielectric material for electrical condensers.
  • In paint industry.

Commercial Castor Oil (CCO)

Commercial grade castor oil is one of the standard & most common grades of castor oil, used for many industrial applications. It is also known as the industrial grade castor oil. It is a pale yellow, viscous, oily liquid insoluble in water. It contains more than 87% of a unique hydroxy fatty acid viz.Ricinoleic acid.

Industrial or commercial grade castor oil is obtained from a mixture of the first pressing and second phase of production - solvent extraction. It can act as a substrate for the preparation of other grades of castor oil including DCO, FSG castor oil, Turkey red oil and Pale pressed castor oil etc.

Applications:

  • Commercial grade castor oil is extensively used in the manufacture of textile chemicals
  • It is used as a wetting agent for inks, coatings and adhesives
  • It is used as an ingredient in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications
  • Commercial grade castor oil is used as a starting raw material for other grades of castor oil & It’s derivatives

First Pressed Degummed Castor Oil (FPD)

First Pressed Degummed Castor Oil is an early product of Castor Oil produced by degumming, which involves removal of plant polymeric substances so as to improve oil's texture and colour. Castor oil that is first pressed, filtered and then degummed has the unique lubricating properties of castor without the excessive buildup and carbon. This grade is hence used in the lubricant industry in a significant manner.

This grade has similar properties to Commercial Castor Oil with lower colour.

Applications:

  • In various lubricants.
  • Commercial grade castor oil is used as a starting raw material for other grades of castor oil & It’s derivatives.
  • Industries where commercial grade castor oil is required with less colour.

    Castor Oil Cake Powder

    Castor Oil Cake is produce by crushing castor seeds in expeller to extract oil from it in a control temperature with help of steam. Cake is the most important by-product due to its high nitrogen content, and presently it is predominantly used as an organic fertilizer.

    It is truly organic manure which enhances the fertility of the soil without causing any damage or decay. Castor Oil Cake Powder is one of the most versatile natural manures. Powder is made out of cake by grinding it in a pulverizer.

    Applications:

    • Provides all the major & minor nutrients necessary for better plant growth
    • Improves yield & quality of the farm produce
    • Helps in increasing the nutrient uptake by plants
    • Improves soil fertility and productivity
    • Protects plants from nematodes and termites
