Our premium Castor Oil is a high-quality, clear oil extracted from castor beans, renowned for its purity and consistency. Meeting stringent specifications, this castor oil is characterized by its clarity at 25°C with no suspended matter, making it ideal for diverse industrial and pharmaceutical applications. It contains a maximum of 1% free fatty acids (as oleic acid), ensuring low acidity, and a moisture and volatile matter content below 0.25%, enhancing its stability and shelf life. With an iodine value between 82 and 90, this castor oil maintains excellent unsaturation suitable for chemical processing. The acid value is capped at 2.0, and insoluble impurities do not exceed 0.02%, delivering superior purity. High in ricinoleic acid content (minimum 85%), this oil provides excellent emollient and lubricating properties. The saponification value ranges from 177 to 185 and the hydroxyl value sits between 160 and 168 mg KOH/g, indicating its suitability for soap, lubricant, and polymer synthesis industries. It also features a specific gravity between 0.954 and 0.96 at 30°C and an unsaponifiable matter maximum of 1%, assuring consistent quality. The color intensity is controlled up to 20 yellow and 2 red on the Lovibond scale. This castor oil is a versatile, reliable ingredient for manufacturers requiring a pure, stable, and highly functional vegetable oil.
