CASTOR DE-OILED CAKE- HYPRO Meal is obtained from the selective sieving of Castor De-oiled Meal. Applications The De-oiled Hypro Castor Meal is an excellent environment-friendly, organic fertilizer which contains 8% nitrogen, 2% potash and 1% calcium.It improves soil fertility and productivity and helps in increasing the nutrient uptake by plants.It is also known to protect the plants from Nematodes and Termites.Detoxified Castor Cake can be used as an animal feed.

RAPE SEED (MUSTARD) DE-OILED CAKE is obtained while extracting oil from the Mustard Seed. Applications The coarse powdery material produced from Rape Seed Cake is an excellent cattle and poultry feed.It has an extremely good Amino Acid composition with adequate Lysine and Methionine, making it highly favourable for livestock.Rape Seed Meal offers a high-quality source of Rumen Degradable Protein as well as Rumen Bypass Protein.

12 Hydroxy Stearic Acid is a saturated C18-Fatty Acid that is a pale Ivory coloured, brittle, hard wax like odourless substance derived from hydrolysis of Hydrogenated Castor Oil. It is suitable for its carboxyl and hydroxyl functional groups in various chemical derivatization processes and is available as Fully Hydrogenated Flakes and Powders. ApplicationsIt is being used in the manufacture of Lithium and Calcium-based multipurpose heavy duty greases, in coatings in both solvent and water-based systems and as a plasticizer. It is also used as an activator and internal lubricant for natural and synthetic rubbers. This type of derivative is also a source for several important industrial oleo chemicals.

Dehydrated Castor Oil Fatty Acid commonly known as DCOFA is a high diene Fatty Acid based on Castor Oil. Three types of DCOFA are offered depending on the conjugation (low, medium and high). DCOFA is liquid at room temperature, having a water-white to pale yellow colour. Dehydration of Castor Oil is carried out at about 250o C in the presence of catalysts (e.g., Concentrated Sulphuric Acid, Activated Earth) and under an inert atmosphere or vacuum. Under this condition of dehydration, the Hydroxyl Group and adjacent Hydrogen Atom from the C-11 or C-13 position of the Ricinoleic Acid portion of the molecule is removed as water. This yields a mixture of two acids, each containing two double bonds but in one case, they are conjugated. ApplicationsDehydrated Castor Oil Fatty Acid based Alkyd Resins and Polyamides make up superior constituent in numerous paint and printing inks formulations. Styrenated Epoxy Esters of these Fatty Acids are used in prime quality Automotive Paints. DCOFA is also used in the manufacture of High Aolid Alkyds, Acrylic and Epoxy Ester Resins, which are useful for interior and exterior can coatings, appliance finishes, automotive topcoats, primers, coil coatings, tube coatings, marine finishes, overprint varnishes and high-speed printing inks. Furthermore DCOFA can be used as chemical intermediate because of their conjugate dienes structure.

COLD PRESSED GRADE comes in two varieties- Virgin and Refined. The Virgin Oil is obtained by hydraulic (mechanical) pressing of seeds without applying the heat. Applications Uses include cure of skin problems, burns, sunburns, skin disorders, skin cuts, abrasions and is also used as a laxative. The Oil is also used as a rub or pack for various ailments, including abdominal complaints, headaches, muscle pains, inflammatory conditions, skin eruptions, lesions, and sinusitis. Castor Oil has also been used to draw out sties in the eye by pouring a small amount into the eye and allowing it to circulate inside the eyelid.

THE USP GRADE refers to the Castor Oil prepared in conformity with the United States Pharmacopoeia norms. Pharmaceutical Grade Castor Oil is produced by first pressing of Castor seed, without losing medicinal qualities. This Oil is widely used in Pharmaceutical and Cosmetics.

THE PH. EUR GRADE refers to the Castor Oil specifications as laid down by the European Pharmacopoeia Standards and the DAB-10 German Pharmacopoeia.

CASTOR DE-OILED CAKE is obtained during the crushing of Castor Seeds to extract oil. Applications The de-oiled cake is an excellent environment friendly, organic fertilizer which contains 5% nitrogen, 2% potash and 1% calcium.It improves soil fertility and productivity and helps in increasing the nutrient uptake by plants.It is also known to protect the plants from Nematodes and Termites.It is also used as fuel in boilers as it is economical and has a higher calorific value than other fuels.Detoxified Castor Cake can be used as an animal feed.

Ricinoleic Acid is a light coloured Fatty Acid and an Unsaturated Omega-9 Fatty Acid that naturally occurs in mature Castor Plant. It is produced by saponification or fractional distillation of Hydrolyzed Castor Oil. Called Castor Oil Fatty Acid it belongs to a family of the Unsaturated Fatty Acid. It is a viscous yellow liquid, melting at 5.5o C and boils at 245o C and is insoluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents. ApplicationsRicinoleic Acid possesses remarkable analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is an effective topical treatment material for ringworm, keratoses, skin inflammation, abrasions, fungus-infected fingers and toenails, acne and chronic pruritus (itching). It can also be used for treating leather, rendering good wetting, flexibility and softening properties to it.

PALE PRESSED GRADE (PPG) CASTOR OIL is characteristically clear and free from suspended matter. This light in colour, low acidity oil is obtained from the first pressing of the Castor Seed. Pale Pressed Castor Oil is used in industrial products that require oil with lighter colour and lower acidity. Applications PharmaceuticalsLubricantsPaintsResinsCastor DerivativesCosmetic
