Commercial Grade Castor Oil is a standard-quality, cold-pressed castor oil widely used in bulk industrial applications where slight variations in color and purity are acceptable. Derived from selected castor seeds, this grade is favored for its affordability and versatility.
It is primarily used in the chemical, textile, petroleum, and lubricant industries, where castor oil's natural viscosity, solubility in alcohol, and ricinoleic acid content make it a valuable raw material for various chemical reactions and formulations.
