Castor Oil is a versatile, renewable raw material widely used across multiple industries due to its unique chemical structure, high hydroxyl value, and excellent lubricity.
Castor Oil FSG (First Special Grade) is manufactured from carefully selected castor seeds that are thoroughly cleaned, dehulled, and conditioned before undergoing controlled mechanical pressing to extract the oil. The extracted oil is then refined through processes such as degumming, neutralization, bleaching and fine filtration to remove impurities, excess acidity and color bodies resulting in a clear, pale yellow castor oil suitable for multiple industrial applications.
