Commercial Grade Castor Oil (C.C.O) Product Overview
Commercial Grade Castor Oil (C.C.O) is a standard industrial-grade castor oil produced for applications where functional performance and cost efficiency are prioritized over tight cosmetic or pharmaceutical specifications. This grade is commonly used as a reliable raw material for further processing, modification, or direct industrial use.
C.C.O is selected by buyers who require consistent supply, predictable basic properties, and suitability for large-volume consumption.
Manufacturing / Processing (High-Level)
Commercial Grade Castor Oil is produced through mechanical pressing and basic processing, followed by filtration and conditioning. The process is designed to:
- Achieve stable oil yield
- Remove major insoluble impurities
- Maintain acceptable acidity and moisture for industrial use
Processing is optimized for scale, consistency, and supply continuity.
Raw Material Origin
The oil is derived from Indian castor seeds, sourced from established castor-growing regions. Seed sourcing and handling are managed to ensure uniform oil characteristics suitable for commercial-grade applications.
In-House Quality Control & Consistency
Quality control focuses on core industrial parameters such as appearance, moisture, and acidity. Each batch is checked to ensure it meets agreed commercial specifications and performs consistently in downstream processes.
Batch-wise documentation supports traceability and repeat supply.
Key Properties (Indicative)
- Appearance: Yellow to light brown liquid
- Odor: Characteristic
- Solubility: Insoluble in water; soluble in most organic solvents
- Stability: Suitable for standard industrial storage and handling
Typical ranges are indicative and should be confirmed with the Certificate of Analysis (COA).
Typical Applications
Commercial Grade Castor Oil is widely used in:
- Chemical Processing: feedstock for fatty acids and derivatives
- Lubricants: industrial and specialty lubricant formulations
- Coatings & Resins: alkyds, modified oils
- Soaps & Surfactants: industrial formulations
- Textile & Leather Chemicals: processing aids
Final suitability depends on process requirements and specification tolerance.
