Product Description

CASTOR OIL
We are proposing the supply of Castor oil which is one of the most versatile plant oils. Its unique chemical structure makes it useful in a wide number of industries and applications.
Castor oil is a vegetable oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the castor oil plant (Ricinus communis) a monounsaturated, **-carbon fatty acid. Among fatty acids, ricinoleic acid is unusual in that it has a hydroxyl functional group on the *2th carbon. This functional group causes ricinoleic acid (and castor oil) to be more polar than most fats.
Castor oil is fast becoming one of the most sought after plant oils, owing to its rich properties and variety of end-uses. Currently, it is being used by industries from pharmaceuticals to lubricants. With biopolymer and bio-fuels industries picking up a lot of steam in the last couple of years, the potential for castor oil to play a much larger role in the world economy had increased dramatically. Many home beauty products such as nail polish, perfumes, nylons, and makeup utilize castor oil. Other household products that use castor oil are paints, dyes, clear coats, plastics and waxes. Most pharmaceuticals, including topical creams, liquid syrups and coatings for pills use castor oil for both its physical properties and healing abilities. For the average person, castor oil can have amazing uses in home health.
