Castor Oil – Pale Pressed Grade (PP) is a high-quality, refined natural vegetable oil obtained from cold pressing selected castor seeds, followed by filtration and mild refining. The process preserves the oil’s natural characteristics while delivering a light pale-yellow appearance, low acidity, and minimal odor. PPG is valued for its high purity, consistent quality, excellent lubricity, and high hydroxyl content, making it a preferred base material for both industrial and specialty applications.
Key Applications
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.
