Acme Synthetic Chemicals is the Manufacturer, Supplier & also the Exporter of Castor Oil.
Castor Oil - Lubricant is classified under CAS No.8001-79-4.
Castor Oil - Lubricant is a vegetable oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the Castor plant (Ricinus communis). Castor Oil - Lubricant is a colorless to very pale yellow liquid with mild or no odor or taste.
Castor Oil - Lubricant 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 - Lubricant has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, for which it is being used for centuries. The benefits of the Castor Oil - Lubricant are also derived from its high concentration of unsaturated fatty acids.
Castor Oil - Lubricant & 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 - Lubricant (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 - Lubricant 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 - Lubricant 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 Lubricant contains active compounds called undecylenic acid which is very effective for treating the fungal infection.
Castor Oil - Lubricant 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 - Lubricant 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 - Lubricant yields 12-hydroxystearic acid which is then reacted with lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate to give high performance lubricant grease.
Superior Lubrication for Industrial and Automotive NeedsThis castor oil lubricant is designed for optimal efficacy in both automotive and industrial settings. Its high purity, excellent thermal stability, and vegetable base ensure smooth operation of engines, bearings, and gear systems. The oils unique chemical composition, featuring triglycerides of ricinoleic acid, provides natural lubrication properties that minimize wear and extend equipment life.
Versatile Application and Packaging SolutionsWhether working in metal processing, hydraulic systems, or engine maintenance, this lubricant delivers consistent results. Available in flexible packaging sizes (5L, 20L, 200L) and types (HDPE drum, bottle, can), it accommodates both small-scale and large industrial users. Its stable formulation withstands temperature extremes from -10C to 250C, meeting diverse operational needs.
FAQs of Castor Oil - Lubricant:
Q: How should castor oil lubricant be stored to preserve its quality?
A: To maintain the efficacy and shelf life of the castor oil lubricant, store it in tightly sealed HDPE containers or drums, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keeping the storage area between -10C and 25C helps prevent degradation and ensures the oil remains effective for up to two years.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using this castor oil lubricant over mineral oils?
A: This castor oil lubricant offers a vegetable base, high purity (99.5% min), superior viscosity, and excellent thermal stability. Its natural lubricity reduces equipment wear, supports greener operations, and works efficiently across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for engines, bearings, and hydraulic systems.
Q: When should this lubricant be selected for metal working or hydraulic fluid applications?
A: Choose this castor oil lubricant when reliable, high-temperature performance and consistent viscosity are needed for metal working or hydraulic operations. It is ideal for applications where water solubility is a concern, and where biodegradable, environmentally friendly lubrication is preferred.
Q: Where can the lubricant be used in vehicle and machinery maintenance?
A: This product is suitable for lubricating engine components, gear systems, and bearings in both automobiles and industrial machines. It can also be used in metal working and as a base for hydraulic fluids, adapting well to operations within -10C to 250C.
Q: What is the typical process for applying castor oil lubricant?
A: Apply the lubricant directly onto clean engine, bearing, or gear surfaces following manufacturer recommendations. For hydraulic and metal working applications, incorporate the oil into the system at suitable intervals, ensuring compatibility with system components for optimum performance.
Q: How does the chemical composition enhance its performance in lubrication?
A: The triglycerides of ricinoleic acid in this castor oil provide a strong, natural lubricating film that adheres well to metal surfaces. This leads to excellent friction reduction, low wear rates, and stable viscosity, even under extreme temperatures and stress conditions.
