Urethane Grade Castor Oil is a highly refined, high-performance natural polyol specifically optimized for polyurethane and prepolymer manufacturing. Characterized by tightly controlled hydroxyl functionality, exceptionally low moisture content, and precise acidity levels, this premium grade ensures consistent reactivity and stability in sensitive PU systems. Derived from selected *Ricinus communis* seeds, it retains the natural ricinoleic acid structure that makes castor oil a unique bio-based polyol. Unlike standard industrial grades, Urethane Grade is processed to minimize impurities that can cause side reactions, foaming, or inconsistent curing. It is the material of choice for formulators seeking reproducible results in isocyanate-terminated prepolymers, cast elastomers, and high-performance adhesives. ### Typical Applications * **Polyurethane Elastomers & Prepolymers:** Serves as a primary natural polyol in cast elastomers, industrial rollers, and mining screens, offering superior hydrolysis resistance and flexibility. It is a critical backbone for stable isocyanate prepolymers. * **PU Coatings, Adhesives & Sealants:** Widely used in moisture-cure and two-component coatings for metal and concrete, providing excellent adhesion and chemical resistance. In sealants and joint fillers, it enhances tack, elasticity, and long-term durability. * **Specialty Polymers:** Ideal for impact-resistant linings and flooring systems where a balance of hardness and flexibility is required. It allows for increased renewable content in formulations without compromising mechanical performance.

Deodorized Castor Oil is a high-purity, low-odor specialty oil processed to remove the characteristic smell of conventional castor oil. By subjecting refined oil to controlled steam stripping or vacuum treatment, volatile odor-causing components are reduced while preserving the oil's core chemistry. This results in a triglyceride rich in ricinoleic acid that maintains the same robust emollient, film-forming, and reactive properties as standard grades. With its practically neutral odor, light color, and excellent oxidative stability, Deodorized Castor Oil is the ideal choice for sensitive formulations where sensory profile is critical. It provides a clean base for fragranced or fragrance-free products, ensuring that the natural smell of the oil does not mask or alter the intended scent of the final product. It is particularly valued in premium cosmetics, lip care, and pharmaceutical ointments. ### Typical Applications * **Personal Care & Cosmetics:** Essential for facial creams, serums, and body butters where a neutral base is required. Widely used in lipsticks, mascaras, and balms to provide gloss and conditioning without imparting an off-odor. * **Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical:** Serves as a patient-friendly excipient in topical ointments and medicated gels. Also used as a clean carrier oil in oral and herbal formulations requiring a neutral organoleptic profile. * **Industrial & Technical:** Applied in specialty lubricants and printing inks for odor-sensitive environments. Functions as a low-odor intermediate for esters and surfactants in premium coatings and adhesives.

BSS Grade Castor Oil from CanCastor is a high-purity refined castor oil manufactured to British Standard Specifications (BSS) / First Special Grade (FSG), offering consistent quality, low impurities, and excellent versatility for pharma-adjacent, cosmetic, and industrial applications. CanCastor’s BSS Grade Castor Oil is produced by refining commercial castor oil through degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and filtration to achieve low colour, low moisture, and controlled free fatty acids. The result is a pale yellow, bright, viscous liquid free from suspended matter. Available at CanCastor.com, this grade serves as a preferred starting material for castor derivatives and as a reliable functional oil for lubricants, personal care, and textiles due to its high purity (approx. 85% ricinoleic acid). ## Typical Applications * **Cosmetics:** Lotions, creams, and hair care. * **Chemicals:** Feedstock for hydrogenated castor oil and sebacic acid. * **Lubricants:** Base for specialty greases and fluids.

Cold-Pressed Castor Oil from CanCastor is a premium, mechanically extracted castor oil produced without chemical solvents or high heat, preserving maximum natural nutrients and purity. It is ideal for high-value cosmetic, personal care, nutraceutical, and specialty industrial applications that demand a clean, minimally processed, bio-based oil. At CanCastor (CanCastor.com), our Cold-Pressed Castor Oil is obtained by gently pressing selected, cleaned seeds of the castor plant (*Ricinus communis*) at low temperatures to protect the natural structure of the triglycerides and bioactive components. The oil is then filtered to remove suspended impurities, typically without aggressive refining, bleaching, or deodorizing steps, resulting in a rich, viscous oil with a characteristic pale yellow to golden color and mild natural odor. This extraction method avoids chemical solvents and minimizes oxidative degradation, making CanCastor's oil highly attractive for "natural," "clean beauty," and "organic" product lines. The oil is naturally rich in ricinoleic acid, offering strong emollient, conditioning, film-forming, and lubricating properties. ## Typical Applications * **Personal Care:** Soaps, lotions, hair oils, and balms. * **Wellness:** Aromatherapy carrier oil and traditional wellness packs. * **Specialty:** High-end artisanal formulations.
