Product Overview
Commercial Grade Castor Oil (C.C.O) is an economical, industrial-use castor oil produced for applications where ultra-high refinement is not required, but functional performance and supply reliability are essential. It is derived from castor seeds through standard extraction and basic purification, making it suitable for high-volume industrial consumption.
At Nova Industries, Commercial Grade Castor Oil is manufactured under controlled processing conditions to ensure stable viscosity, acceptable impurity levels, and consistent functional behavior. While this grade does not undergo the extensive refining steps of FSG or PPG oils, it delivers dependable performance for industries that prioritize cost efficiency and operational reliability.
CCO is widely used in processes where castor oil serves as a functional raw material rather than a finished ingredient—such as lubrication, chemical reactions, surface treatments, and manufacturing aids. Buyers choose this grade for its competitive pricing, steady availability, and predictable industrial performance.
