Castor Oil - Perfumery Chemical is classified under CAS No.8001-79-4.
Castor Oil - Perfumery Chemical is a vegetable oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the Castor plant (Ricinus communis). Castor Oil - Perfumery Chemical is a colorless to very pale yellow liquid with mild or no odor or taste.
Castor Oil - Perfumery Chemical is one of the most ancient oils, known for its powerful therapeutic properties. It is derived from the beans of the castor plant, grown in the tropical regions.
Castor Oil - Perfumery Chemical has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, for which it is being used for centuries. The benefits of the Castor Oil - Perfumery Chemical are also derived from its high concentration of unsaturated fatty acids.
Castor Oil - Perfumery Chemical & its derivatives are useful for skin, health & beauty and thus is used in various cosmetics, soaps,textiles, massage oils, medicines and also can be used in the manufacturing of lubricants, hydraulic and brake fluids, paints, dyes, coatings, inks, cold, resistant plastics, waxes, polishes, nylon, pharmaceuticals and perfumes.
In the food industry, Castor Oil - Perfumery Chemical (food grade) is used in food additives, flavorings, candy (e.g., Polyglycerol polyricinoleate or PGPR in chocolate), as a mold inhibitor, and in packaging. Polyoxyethylated castor oil (e.g., Kolliphor EL) is also used in the food industries.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has categorized Castor Oil - Perfumery Chemical as "generally recognized as safe and effective" (GRASE) for over-the-counter use as a laxative with its major site of action the small intestine where it is digested into Ricinoleic acid.
Due to its well known anti-inflammatory properties,Castor Oil - Perfumery Chemical is used as an effective remedy for arthritis. It acts as excellent massage oil for joint pain, nerve inflammation and sore muscles.
Ringworm is one of the most common and stubborn skin problems, which occurs commonly across all age groups.
Castor Oil - Perfumery Chemical contains active compounds called undecylenic acid which is very effective for treating the fungal infection.
Castor Oil - Perfumery Chemical has better low temperature viscosity properties and high temperature lubrication than most vegetable oils, making it useful as a lubricant.
Castor Oil - Perfumery Chemical is the raw material for the production of a number of chemicals, notably sebacic acid, undecylenic acid, zinc undecylenate, undecylenic monoethanolamide, alcohol c11 undecylenic, methyl undecylenate, calcium undeylenate, calcium ricinoleate, calcium undecylenate,heptaldehyde, heptyl alcohol, undecanoic acid, zinc ricinoleate, cetyl ricinoleate, glyceryl mono ricinoleate, glyceryl mono undecylenate, heptyl undecylenate, methyl ricinoleate, pentaerythritol mono ricinoleate,polyricinoleic acid, ricinoleic acid, methyl acetyl ricinoleate, and nylon-11.
Hydrogenation and saponification of Castor Oil - Perfumery Chemical yields 12-hydroxystearic acid which is then reacted with lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate to give high performance lubricant grease.
Exceptional Physicochemical PropertiesWith its high viscosity, low acid value, and superior hydroxyl content, Castor Oil ensures reliable performance in demanding industrial and perfumery settings. Its refractive rate of 1.4811.483 and consistent clarity after cold testing reflect its high-grade purity and stability, supporting optimal results in product formulations.
Versatility Across IndustriesCastor Oils unique composition and mild aroma make it a preferred ingredient in perfumery, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. As a potent emollient and fixative, it stabilizes fragrances and enhances skin feel, delivering both functional and sensory benefits. Its non-hazardous classification ensures easy transport and broad application.
FAQs of Castor Oil - Perfumery Chemical:
Q: How is Castor Oil typically used in perfumery formulations?
A: Castor Oil is utilized as a fixative and emollient in perfumery, which helps prolong the scents longevity and improve the overall texture of fragrance products. Its high purity and stable properties make it ideal for blending with essential oils and aromatic compounds.
Q: What are the storage recommendations and shelf life for Castor Oil?
A: To maximize shelf life, store Castor Oil in a cool, dry location with containers tightly sealed. Properly stored, it maintains its quality for up to 24 months, preserving its clarity, viscosity, and mild aromatic profile.
Q: When is Castor Oil preferred over other carrier oils in industrial applications?
A: Castor Oil is favored when a high viscosity, excellent emolliency, and stable molecular structure are requiredsuch as in perfumery, cosmetics, and certain pharmaceutical products. Its hydroxyl content and superior clarity also support specialized industrial uses.
Q: Where is Castor Oil typically manufactured and exported from?
A: Castor Oil is produced and supplied by specialized manufacturers, exporters, and traders, particularly from India, known for its high-quality industrial-grade castor oil production.
Q: What benefits does Castor Oil offer as a fixative in fragrances?
A: Due to its stable, viscous nature and bland taste, Castor Oil effectively anchors volatile fragrance molecules, extending the scents duration. It also contributes subtle emollience, improving the feel and consistency of the end product.
Q: Is Castor Oil safe and non-hazardous for transport and handling?
A: Yes, Castor Oil is classified as a non-hazardous material. It is not restricted for transport, making it straightforward to move internationally in HDPE drums, steel barrels, or in bulk form.
Q: How is Castor Oil processed to retain its functional properties?
A: Through careful refining and quality control, Castor Oil is purified to industrial standards, ensuring a purity of 99.5% and achieving targeted physicochemical properties such as low acid value and desirable iodine and saponification numbers.
