Blown Castor Oil

Blown Castor Oil, supplied by CanCastor, represents a superior oxidized castor oil derivative engineered to elevate performance across a spectrum of industrial applications. Through a carefully controlled oxidation process, the inherent properties of raw castor oil are significantly enhanced, resulting in a product with markedly increased viscosity, improved film-forming capabilities, and accelerated drying times. This makes it an indispensable component for formulators seeking to impart exceptional durability, flexibility, and adhesion in their end products, from advanced coatings to resilient leather treatments.

Unleash Superior Performance with CanCastor Blown Castor Oil

CanCastor's Blown Castor Oil is meticulously processed to offer a distinctive combination of attributes that set it apart. The oxidation not only builds viscosity but also modifies the fatty acid chains, leading to a more cross-linkable structure. This molecular enhancement translates into robust films with excellent solvent resistance, impressive flexibility, and enhanced water repellency. As a result, our Blown Castor Oil serves as a versatile workhorse in formulations requiring high-performance characteristics and a commitment to quality. Its natural origin combined with advanced processing makes it a preferred choice for industries striving for both efficacy and environmental responsibility.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Enhanced Viscosity: Provides superior body and flow control in various formulations, improving application ease and final film thickness.
