Castor oil is nonvolatile fatty oil extracted from plants, it has been used for many years As a purgative, i.e. a material that induces vomiting it has the advantagen over anther mineral oils.
That it is a renewable resource is bio- degradable and eco-friendly castor oil Comes from the seeds of the castor bean, it is extracted by pressing or solvent extraction .
The beans themselves are produced primarily in India.
CASTOR SEEDS 200 MT/day, refining capacity of 100 MT/day and a solvent extraction plant for castor seed extraction meal with a capacity of 100 MT/day.
5200 metric tonnes castor seed crushing Per Month , 2500 metric tonnes castor oil refining Per Month , 2500 metric tonnes solvent extraction of castor meal.
The strength of the company lies in the team of the promoters who are having inheritably
rich experience of the Castor Oil industry. Moreover, the factory is located in one of the world's largest castor seeds growing area, which ensures easy availability of quality raw materials round the year.Connectivity with Kandla, Mundra& Mumbai ports
and other emerging ports within the Gujarat state by rail & road also offers best logistics opportunities to ensure faster exports.
Castor oil fatty acid containing 90% ricinoleic acid (9 vinyl a 12 hydroxy eighteenacid) J hydroxyl value is 163mgKOH/g, hydroxyl content is 4 - 94%, according to the hydroxyl group is a molecular weight of 345, according to projections of castor oil containing 70% hydroxyl groups, three functional groups and 30% of the two hydroxyl functionality, average degree of 2.7. Polyurethane adhesive forraw materials used in the manufacturing of castor oil has good low temperature,hydrolysis resistance and excellent electrical insulation.
Castor oil is pale yellow viscous non drying oil, soluble in most organic solventsexcept fatty acid hydrocarbon, particularly on alcohol soluble character display.
Castor oil on nitrate cellulose, ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate butyrate,polyamide, butylated melamine formaldehyde resin (or urea), rosin, shellac hasgood compatibility, and can be used as plasticizer. In addition, the polyvinyl butyral, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, vinyl alcohol copolymer, chlorinated rubber has good miscibility.
· castor oil has good stability, color retention, flexible, pigment dispersion, wetting,lubrication, low temperature properties, electrical properties and biological characteristics, therefore, can be combined with applied varnish coating,synthetic leather, inks, sealants, lubricants, stationery, cosmetics, electrical insulating materials, medicine etc..
· castor oil can be a lot of chemical reaction by the OH based, with double bondand ester bond, resulting in the formation are widely used in paint industry,plastic industry, rubber industry, building materials industry, metal industry and mechanical industry.
