Castor Oil |

The chemical structure
of castor oil is of great interest because of the wide range of reactions it
affords to the oleochemical industry and the unique chemicals that can be
derived from it. These derivatives are on par with petrochemical products for
use in several industrial applications. In fact, they are considerably superior
since they are from renewable sources, bio-degradable and eco-friendly. Castor
Oil is regarded as one of the most valuable laxatives in medicine. Castor Oil
forms a clean, light-colored soap, which dries and hardens well and is free from
smell. Externally, the oil has been recommended for various cutaneous
complaints. Castor Oil is an excellent solvent of pure alkaloids and such
solutions of Atropine, Cocaine, etc., as are used in ophthalmic surgery. It is
also dropped into the eye to remove the after-irritation caused by the removal
of foreign bodies. Castor Oil is finding increasing uses in the industrial
world. It figures largely in the manufacture of the artificial leather used in
upholstery; it furnishes a coloring for butter, and from it is produced the
so-called 'Turkey-red' oil used in the dyeing of cotton textures. It is an
essential component in some artificial rubbers, in various descriptions of
celluloid, and in the making of certain waterproof preparations, and one of the
largest uses is in the manufacture of transparent soaps. It also furnishes
sebacic acid which is employed in the manufacture of candles, and caprylic acid,
which enters into the composition of varnishes. |

We offer Cashew nut shell liquid which is a co-product of the cashew nut industry and primarily a natural products where the processing involves no use of chemicals. It is a dark liquid which is comprised of different unsaturated alkenyl substituted phenols.
Cashewnut Shell Liquid is a by-product of the cashew industry. The nut has a shell of about 1/8 inch thickness inside which is a soft honeycomb structure containing a dark reddish brown viscous liquid. It is called the cashewnut shell liquid, which is the
pericarp fluid of the cashewnut. |

Turkey Red Oil
Turkey Red Oil is also known as Sulfated Castor Oil. It is the only oil that will completely disperse in water. The oil is expressed from the seed. Sulfated castor oil is created by adding sulfuric acid to castor oil, and is considered the first synthetic detergent. Turkey Red Oil has a distinct and heavy scent. It is a surfactant and therefore makes a wonderful base for a bath oil as it mixes well with water, producing a milk bath.
Uses : Used in Textile industries, Sugar industry, as a defoaming agent, as an Emulsifier. In cosmetics it is used as humectants and as an Emulsifier for Oil Bath.
Strength : 50% & 70%

Various Applications of Turkey Red Oil:
Turkey Red oil is used in agriculture as organic manure, in textiles as surfactants and wetting agents, in paper industry for defoaming, in cosmetics as emulsifiers, in pharmaceuticals as undecylenate, in paints inks and as lubricants.
For e.g. it is used to emulsify essential oils so that they will dissolve in other water-based products, or for superfatting liquid soap if you want the soap to remain transparent. This means that the oil will combine with the water in the tub, and not leave those little oil bubbles floating on the top of the water. It is of medium viscosity and is usually used in bath oil recipes along with fragrance or essential oils, or in shampoos. This oil also has great moisturizing abilities. |
