Overview

Refined Castor Oil (British Standard Specifications-B.S.S)Refined castor oil(RCO) is extracted from Refined Commercial Grade Castor Oil(CCO), that is produced by crushing the steam-cooked castor seeds of the expeller. RCO is used as an essential component that serves as a lubricant in vitamin and mineral tablet coatings and as a raw material for the manufacture of value-added castor oil derivatives.The CCO is processed by the bleaching and filtering method that helps to minimize the quality of colour, F.F.A.( Free Fatty Acid) and moisture. applicationAs an ingredient in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applicationsIn combinations with styrene and diisocynates for a film forming Varnish or a substantially insoluble infusible polymerAs lubricant component of coatings for vitamin and mineral Tablets.As an ingredient for petroleum oil-field de-emulsificationIn manufacture of polyurethane casting resinsIn hydraulic fluids for automobiles, trucks and machinery
