What is Industrial Grade Castor Oil?

Industrial Grade Castor Oil is a refined, non‑pharma castor oil optimized for performance and cost in lubricants, polymers, coatings, resins and chemical intermediates.

What are the main industrial uses of this grade?

It is used in specialty lubricants and greases, brake and hydraulic fluids, PU and alkyd resins, plasticizers, surfactants, and as a key feedstock for derivatives like sebacic acid, hydrogenated castor oil and polyols.

How does Industrial Grade differ from Commercial and Pharma grades?

Industrial Grade is cleaner and more controlled than basic commercial oil, but not as tightly specified as pharma/USP/BP grades; it focuses on consistent FFA, moisture, colour and functional values rather than pharmacopeial tests.

Which key specifications should buyers review on the COA?

Check moisture & impurities, free fatty acids/acid value, hydroxyl value, iodine value, saponification value, colour and specific gravity, as these strongly affect resin synthesis and lubricant performance.

Can Industrial Grade Castor Oil be used in cosmetics or pharmaceuticals?

It is intended for industrial applications; for leave‑on cosmetics or medicinal products buyers should choose cosmetic, BSS, BP, or USP grades that meet stricter purity and safety requirements.

Why do lubricant and resin manufacturers prefer Industrial Grade?

It offers a reliable balance of price and performance, with high ricinoleic content for viscosity, polarity and film strength, while meeting the consistency needed for large‑scale production runs.

What packaging formats are available from CanCastor?

Industrial Grade Castor Oil is typically supplied in HDPE or steel drums, IBCs and bulk tankers/ISO containers to support both domestic and export industrial customers.

How should Industrial Grade Castor Oil be stored to maintain quality?

Store in cool, dry, well‑ventilated areas, in tightly closed containers, away from direct sunlight and moisture; under proper conditions shelf life is commonly 12–24 months (see CanCastor COA for exact value).
