About Castor Oil (Virgin)
Virgin castor oil is a non-toxic, biodegradable vegetable oil extracted from castor beans without chemical refining, maintaining its natural properties. Primary industrial applications include hydraulic fluids, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, lubricants, and polyurethane production. Internationally traded grades differentiate by viscosity, color (ranging from pale yellow to amber), and free fatty acid content, with ISO 6 and ISO 9 viscosity grades predominating. India dominates global production and exports, supplying approximately 80% of worldwide virgin castor oil, followed by smaller contributions from China and Brazil. Buyers should verify acid value specifications rigorously, as virgin castor oil's quality directly impacts downstream applications; storage conditions significantly affect oxidation stability, requiring temperature-controlled containers and relatively short shelf life management compared to refined alternatives.
