Castor Oil
Ricinus Communis Oil | Vegetable Oil
Castor Oil is a naturally derived triglyceride, primarily composed of ricinoleic acid, which imparts unique chemical and physical properties. It is valued for its high viscosity, lubricity, and solubility in alcohols, making it indispensable in pharmaceutical excipients, cosmetic formulations, and industrial lubricants. Hydrogenated and dehydrated derivatives expand its utility into polyurethane resins, coatings, and specialty polymers. Its renewable origin and multifunctional performance position Castor Oil as a sustainable cornerstone in modern industrial and consumer applications.
