Description
Castor Oil Supplier & Exporter in India
Castor Oil is chemically unlike any other commercial vegetable oil. Around ninety percent of its fatty acid content is ricinoleic acid, which carries a hydroxyl group the others lack – and that single feature gives the oil its unusual solubility in alcohol, its stable viscosity across temperature, and the reactive site that lets chemists build polyurethanes, lubricants and sebacic acid from it.
India produces the overwhelming majority of the world’s castor crop, and Rexus Pharma Chem LLP supplies and exports Castor Oil in bulk to pharmaceutical formulators, cosmetic manufacturers, lubricant and polyurethane producers, coating companies and textile processors across India, Africa and the Gulf. Minimum order quantity is 500 kg.

Minimum Order Quantity and Despatch
The minimum order quantity for Castor Oil is 500 kg. Packing is supplied in standard commercial sizes for this material, and the exact pack size is confirmed against your enquiry along with the price and lead time. Mixed consignments with other products from our range can be combined into a single despatch, and export orders are shipped with COA, MSDS and the full set of documents required at destination.
Storage and Handling
Store in closed containers in a cool, dry place away from heat, direct sunlight and strong oxidising agents. Castor Oil is a non-drying oil and keeps well, but prolonged heat and air exposure will raise its acid value, so keep containers sealed and stock rotated.
