It is obtained from the seeds of Ricinus Communis, is a pale yellow, viscous, oily liquid insoluble in water. It contains more than 87% of a unique hydroxy fatty acid viz. Ricinoleic acid.

(First Special Grade – F.S.G/British Standard Specifications-B.S.S)

It is a castor oil bleached to British Standard Specifications (BSS). It is a yellow viscous liquid free from suspended matter and insoluble in water.

Application

FSG/BSS Castor oil finds application in a wide variety of uses and is the starting material for most other derivatives of castor oil.

• As an ingredient in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications
• In combinations with styrene and diisocynates for a film forming Varnish or a substantially insoluble infusible polymer
• As lubricant component of coatings for vitamin and mineral Tablets.
• As an ingredient for petroleum oil-field de-emulsification
• As capacitor impregnate
• As a sonar transducer fluid
• As a dielectric material for electrical condensers
• In manufacture of polyurethane casting resins
• In hydraulic fluids for automobiles, trucks and machinery
• As a starting material for most other derivatives of Castor Oil

Hydrogenated Castor Oil (HCO), also called Castor Wax, is a hard, brittle, high melting solid which is tasteless and odorless. Chemically it is the triglyceride mainly of 12-Hydroxy Stearic Acid. It is insoluble in water and solubility in many organic solvents is also very limited.

HCO is available as flakes or powder which melts to a clear transparent liquid. It is a non-toxic, non-hazardous material.

HCO is used in pharmaceutical applications and manufacture of greases and lubricants. It is used in a range of cosmetics & toiletries.

HCO POWDER

12-Hydroxy Stearic Acid is the mixed fatty acid obtained by hydrolysis of Hydrogenated Castor Oil. It is high melting, brittle, waxy solid at ambient temperatures. It should be stored away from heat to avoid deterioration.

It is insoluble in water and it's solubility in many organic solvents is also limited. It is a non-toxic, non-hazardous material. It is used in the manufacturing of greases.

Castor meal is also variously called castor meal, castor residue, castor extract & de-oiled castor cake

Castor meal - the residue obtained from castor cake by the solvent extraction process - is one of the most versatile natural manures. It is truly organic manure which enhances the fertility of the soil without causing any damage or decay. It is enriched with the three big elements vital and conducive to the proper growth of crops - Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. It also has traces of nutrients like Manganese, Zinc and Copper, thus making it a balanced fertilizer. Moreover, it helps to neutralize the detrimental effects of chemical fertilizers. Apart from their contribution to Nutrients, they have a number of benefits in agriculture, which none of the synthetic fertilizers or pesticides can offer. They bring in the wonderful molecules that nature has designed to help the plants flourish naturally. They provide slow and steady nourishment, stimulation, protection from soil nematodes and insects; improve yields, and quality of product like taste, flavor, amino acid composition etc.

The pressed cake obtained after the expression of castor bean. The solvent extracted cake, although rich in protein cannot be used as cattle fodder because of its toxicity. However, it can be used as a fertilizer.
