Castor Oil – PP Product Overview
Castor Oil – PP (Pressed / Purified Grade) is a mechanically extracted castor oil that undergoes basic purification and filtration to remove coarse impurities while retaining its natural characteristics. This grade is positioned between crude pressed oil and fully refined grades, making it suitable for general industrial use and further processing where extreme refinement is not required.
Castor Oil – PP is commonly selected by buyers who need a stable, process-friendly oil with predictable basic properties and reliable availability.
Manufacturing / Processing (High-Level)
Castor Oil – PP is produced through:
- Mechanical pressing of selected castor seeds
- Purification and filtration to remove suspended solids
- Conditioning to achieve stable clarity and handling behavior
The process is designed to maintain functional integrity while improving usability compared to crude oil.
Raw Material Origin
The oil is derived from Indian castor seeds, sourced from established castor-growing regions. Raw material quality directly influences oil yield, clarity, and processing behavior, making sourcing control essential.
In-House Quality Control & Consistency
Quality control focuses on appearance, moisture, and acidity, ensuring the oil meets agreed PP-grade parameters. Each batch is evaluated to maintain repeatable performance in downstream industrial applications.
Batch records are maintained to support traceability and consistent repeat supply.
