Nova Industries specializes in the advanced chemical processing of Castor Oil. Utilizing the unique hydroxyl functionality of Ricinoleic Acid, we manufacture high-performance renewable materials that serve as critical building blocks for the Lubricant, Coating, Polymer, and Pharmaceutical industries.
Below is our complete A to Z Technical Product Portfolio, detailing the science and application of every derivative we manufacture.
1. REFINED CASTOR OIL GRADES (The Foundation)
The purest forms of oil, refined for specific industrial stability.
-
Castor Oil (First Special Grade – FSG): Produced with the highest degree of refining and bleaching. It has low acid value and moisture, making it the industry standard for Pharmaceuticals and cosmetic formulations.
-
Pale Pressed Grade Castor Oil (PP Grade): Characterized by its light color and high clarity. It is critical for Surface Coatings, light-colored resins, and transparent soaps where color retention is vital.
-
First Pressed Degummed Castor Oil: Processed to remove plant gums and phospholipids. This prevents sludge formation during storage and heating, essential for Lubricant blending.
-
Commercial Grade Castor Oil: A robust, cost-effective grade used for general industrial applications like Textile chemicals and low-cost derivatives.
2. HYDROGENATED DERIVATIVES (Rheology Modifiers)
Created by saturating double bonds to control viscosity and melting points.
-
Hydrogenated Castor Oil (Flakes): Also known as Castor Wax (Melting Point: ~85°C). It acts as a powerful thixotropic agent (thickener) in Paints, Sealants, and Adhesives, preventing sagging on vertical surfaces.
-
12-Hydroxy Stearic Acid (12-HSA Flakes): The most critical derivative for the grease industry. It reacts with Lithium Hydroxide to form the soap base for Lithium-Based Greases, providing superior mechanical stability and heat resistance.
-
Micronized Castor Wax: A finely ground powder form of HCO. It is used as a slip and anti-blocking agent in Powder Coatings and printing inks, ensuring smooth dispersion without heating.
-
Oxidized / Modified Castor Wax: Chemically modified to improve compatibility with specific solvents in Specialty Coatings and polishes.
3. COATING & RESIN INTERMEDIATES (Drying Oils)
Chemically engineered for fast drying, hardness, and adhesion.
-
Dehydrated Castor Oil (DCO): We introduce conjugated double bonds by removing water molecules. This transforms non-drying castor oil into a superior drying oil used in Non-Yellowing Alkyd Resins and white appliances paints.
-
Dehydrated Castor Oil Fatty Acid (DCOFA): The free fatty acid form of DCO. It is used to manufacture flexible Epoxy Esters and automotive primers.
-
Distilled Castor Oil Fatty Acid: A high-purity fatty acid used in premium quality Alkyd Resins where consistent iodine value is required.
-
Castor Oil Fatty Acid: A versatile mixture used in the production of Soft Soaps, washing compounds, and liquid cleaners.
-
Blown Castor Oil: Oxidized at high temperatures to increase viscosity. It serves as a plasticizer in Lacquers, hydraulic fluids, and adhesives.
-
Castor-Based Polyamide Resin: These resins act as curing agents (hardeners) for Epoxy Systems, offering exceptional water resistance, toughness, and adhesion to difficult substrates.
4. ACIDS, ESTERS & PLASTICIZERS (Polymers & Performance)
High-value monomers for plastics and low-temperature flexibility.
-
Sebacic Acid: A 10-carbon dicarboxylic acid produced via pyrolysis. It is the primary monomer for Bio-Polymers (Nylon 6,10 & Nylon 10,10), offering high strength and moisture resistance.
-
Dibutyl Sebacate (DBS): An ester of Sebacic Acid. It acts as a plasticizer for Rubber and Food Packaging films, ensuring they remain flexible even at freezing temperatures.
-
Dioctyl Sebacate (DOS): A premium plasticizer used in Synthetic Rubber (Nitrile/Neoprene) and cable insulation for extreme cold environments.
-
Ricinoleic Acid: The pure isolated fatty acid. It acts as a surfactant and dispersion agent in Textiles and metalworking fluids.
-
Methyl 12-Hydroxy Stearate: Used in the continuous manufacturing process of Lithium Grease, offering better process control than 12-HSA flakes.
-
Methyl Ricinolate: A low-viscosity ester used as a wetting agent and plasticizer in Brake Fluids and cellulosic resins.
5. SPECIALTY SALTS & PHARMA CHEMICALS
Functional additives for hygiene and personal care.
-
Undecylenic Acid: A pyrolysis derivative with potent Antifungal properties, used in medical creams and anti-dandruff shampoos.
-
Undecylenic Acid Esters: Known for their aromatic properties, used extensively in the Perfumery and Fragrance industry.
-
Zinc Ricinoleate: A specialized Odor Absorber. It chemically traps and neutralizes odor molecules (unlike masking agents) and is used in deodorants and household cleaners.
-
Sodium Ricinoleate: A bactericidal surfactant used in Toothpaste formulations and transparency soaps.
-
Vegetable Glycerine (Castor-Derived): A humectant (moisture retainer) used in Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals.
6. SUSTAINABLE LUBRICANTS & AGRO-PRODUCTS
Eco-friendly solutions for industry and agriculture.
-
Castor-Based Bio-Lubricant Base Oils: Renewable alternatives to mineral oils. They offer superior lubricity and biodegradability, ideal for Metalworking Fluids and chain oils.
-
High Protein Castor Meal: The residue rich in nitrogen and protein, used as a premium Organic Fertilizer.
-
Castor De-Oiled Cake & Castor Oil Cake: Used in agriculture as an organic manure that also provides natural Nematode (Pest) Control for soil.
