Pale Pressed Grade Castor Oil (P.P.G) Product Overview
Pale Pressed Grade Castor Oil (P.P.G) is a naturally light-colored, mechanically pressed castor oil produced under controlled conditions to preserve its inherent properties while maintaining low impurities and a pale appearance. This grade is commonly selected where color sensitivity, mild odor, and stable performance are important for downstream formulations.
P.P.G is typically preferred by buyers who require a clean, minimally processed oil with reliable batch consistency.
Manufacturing / Processing (High-Level)
Pale Pressed Grade Castor Oil is obtained through carefully controlled pressing and basic refining steps, without aggressive chemical treatment. The process focuses on:
- Gentle extraction to maintain oil integrity
- Filtration to remove suspended solids
- Conditioning to achieve pale color and clarity
Processing is standardized to ensure repeatable quality and predictable behavior.
Raw Material Origin
The oil is derived from Indian castor seeds, sourced from established castor-growing regions. Seed quality and handling directly influence color, yield, and consistency, making raw material control a critical factor.
In-House Quality Control & Consistency
Quality control emphasizes appearance, clarity, moisture, and acidity, as these parameters directly affect suitability in sensitive applications. Batch-wise monitoring ensures uniform performance across supplies.
Production records and batch identification support traceability and long-term supply reliability.
