About Castor Oil
Castor oil, derived from castor bean seeds, is a versatile triglyceride used primarily in lubricants, hydraulic fluids, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and polyurethane production. International trade focuses on refined bleached decolorized (RBD) castor oil and crude grades, with viscosity and free fatty acid content determining specifications. India dominates global production and exports, supplying approximately 80% of worldwide castor oil; other significant producers include China, Brazil, and Ethiopia. Buyers should verify acid value and moisture content through third-party testing, as these parameters directly impact application performance and shelf stability, particularly for pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations where specifications are tightly controlled.
