About Castor Oil

People have been using castor oil for thousands of years as a multi-purpose vegetable oil in addition to medicinal and industrial oil. Ricinus communis plant seeds, also called castor beans, are used to extract the oil. In addition to being used as an additive, industrial lubricant and biodiesel fuel component, the pale yellow oil is also commonly added to foods, medicines, personal care and skin care products. Customers can buy from us different grades of oil, like neutralized, extra pale, pale pressed, refined, pharmaceutical, commercial.

Pale pressed, which is obtained from the first pressing of the castor bean. Pale Pressed Castor Oil it is light in color and low in acidity. Pale Pressed Castor Oil is used in industrial products that require oil with lighter color and/or lower acidity. With proper certification, the pale oil may also be acceptable for medicinal, pharmaceutical or cosmetic use. Searching Manufacturer, Supplier of Castor Oil, Refined castor oil in India ? Contact Shivam Agro today, Leading Castor oil manufacturer, Castor oil supplier, Castor oil supplier india, Castor oil manufacturer india. Industrial Castor Oil, which is obtained from a mixture of the first pressing and the second phase of production, solvent extraction. Further neutralizing by either steam stripping or treating with caustic soda and washing produces Neutralized Castor Oil. Urethane and adhesive formulas may incorporate the use Low Moisture Castor Oil or Neutralized Castor Oil. When Industrial Castor Oil is dried to a maximum moisture content of 0.03%, it remains a lubricant, but is known as dried or Low Moisture Castor Oil.
