Application
Castor Oil, while still used for some medicinal purposes, is more widely utilized today as a cosmetic ingredient, industrial chemical, and specialty chemical. As a natural polyol, it is gaining increasing attention for its effectiveness in polyurethane applications, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based polyols. Additionally, because it is not classified as a food oil, Castor Oil avoids the controversies often associated with edible oils, making it a favorable choice for various non-food applications.
