Nova Industries: The Ultimate Technical Guide to Castor Oil Derivatives

Manufacturer & Exporter | Gujarat, India

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.
