3. Product Overview

First Pressed Degummed Castor Oil (F.P.D) is a high-purity castor oil grade produced by mechanically pressing premium castor seeds, followed by a controlled degumming process to remove natural phosphatides, gums, and trace impurities. This additional processing step improves oil clarity, stability, and downstream compatibility while preserving the oil’s natural functional characteristics.

At Nova Industries, FPD Castor Oil is manufactured under strictly monitored pressing and degumming conditions. The result is a cleaner oil with reduced non-glyceride content, making it particularly suitable for applications where process cleanliness, formulation stability, and lower impurity load are critical.

Compared to standard pressed oils, FPD grade offers better storage stability and more predictable behavior during heating, blending, or chemical modification. Buyers prefer this grade when they require a dependable balance between natural origin and improved processing performance.
