Acme Synthetic Chemicals is the Manufacturer, Supplier & also the Exporter of Castor Oil.

Castor Oil is classified under CAS No.8001-79-4.

Castor Oil is a vegetable oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the Castor plant (Ricinus communis). Castor Oil is a colorless to very pale yellow liquid with mild or no odor or taste.  

Castor Oil 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 has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, for which it is being used for centuries. The benefits of the Castor Oil are also derived from its high concentration of unsaturated fatty acids.

Castor Oil & 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 fluidspaintsdyescoatingsinks, cold, resistant plastics, waxes, polishes, nylon, pharmaceuticals and perfumes.

In the food industry, Castor Oil (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 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 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 contains active compounds called undecylenic acid which is very effective for treating the fungal infection.

Castor Oil has better low temperature viscosity properties and high temperature lubrication than most vegetable oils, making it useful as a lubricant.The lubricants company Castrol took its name from castor oil.

Castor Oil is the raw material for the production of a number of chemicals, notably sebacic acidundecylenic 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.

A review listing numerous chemicals derived from castor oil is available. The production of lithium grease consumes a significant amount of castor.

 Hydrogenation and saponification of Castor Oil yields 12-hydroxystearic acid which is then  reacted with lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate to give high performance lubricant grease.
