Low Moisture Castor Oil
Low Moisture Castor Oil
Low moisture castor oil is a specialized form of castor oil that has been processed to contain minimal moisture content. This makes it particularly valuable for applications where the presence of water can lead to problems such as oxidation, reduced stability, or
microbial growth. The following castor oil derivative comes with an added advantage of longer shelf life, meticulous pH value and it meets the international quality standards. Similarly, our other range of castor oil derivatives is also produced keeping quality and customer satisfaction as the prime focus

What is Low Moisture Castor Oil?
Low Moisture Castor Oil is a high-purity grade of castor oil that has been specially processed to reduce its moisture content—typically below 0.2%—to improve stability and performance in moisture-sensitive applications.
Why is low moisture content important in castor oil?
Reducing moisture enhances the oil’s stability, prevents microbial growth, and ensures consistent reactivity in applications such as polyurethane systems, coatings, and adhesives where even slight water content can impact chemical reactions.
What industries commonly use Low Moisture Castor Oil?
It is extensively used in the manufacture of polyurethane resins, lubricants, inks, coatings, and high-performance polymers. It is especially valued in isocyanate-based formulations where moisture control is critical.
How is Low Moisture Castor Oil different from standard castor oil?
While chemically similar, low moisture castor oil is refined through vacuum dehydration or drying processes to minimize water content. This results in greater chemical stability and improved shelf life in sensitive formulations.
Is Low Moisture Castor Oil environmentally friendly?
Yes. Like standard castor oil, it is derived from renewable castor beans and is fully biodegradable, making it a sustainable choice for eco-conscious manufacturers.
