Castor Oil

  • At Ornate Overseas, we supply premium castor oil, a versatile non-edible vegetable oil derived from pressing the seeds of the castor oil plant (Ricinus communis). Known for its rich composition of ricinolein acid, which makes up about 90% of its fatty acid content, castor oil is highly valued in various industrial and technical applications. Its unique properties allow it to be used in a wide array of products, including paints, printing inks, soaps, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, brake fluids, varnishes, and adhesives.
  • Additionally, castor oil finds extensive use in the manufacturing of cold-resistant plastics, waxes, polishes, nylon, and synthetic resins, as well as in wood and timber treatment, leather preservation, and foundries. The biodiesel or methyl esters derived from castor oil are commonly used as fuels, solvents, lubricants, and metal degreasers.
  • In the food industry, food-grade castor oil plays an important role as an additive, flavoring agent, mold inhibitor, and is even used in chocolate production.
