COMMERCIAL GRADE CASTOR OIL

At Radhe Exim, we are a trusted supplier and exporter of commercial-grade castor oil from India, delivering quality, purity, and consistency to clients worldwide. Extracted from carefully selected castor seeds grown in Gujarat—the world’s largest castor-producing region—our commercial-grade oil is widely used in industrial and chemical applications. With advanced extraction and filtration methods, we ensure the oil retains most of its natural nutrients, making it reliable for large-scale production needs.

Commercial-grade castor oil is a refined natural oil obtained through the mechanical pressing of castor seeds without using harmful chemicals. It is pale yellow to golden in color and has a characteristic mild odor. This grade of oil is primarily used in industries where high purity and cosmetic refinement are not essential, but performance, cost-effectiveness, and quality consistency are critical.

The oil retains the natural triglycerides of ricinoleic acid, which contribute to its lubricity, chemical stability, and viscosity control—making it a key ingredient in manufacturing lubricants, coatings, soaps, and surfactants. Due to its versatility and stability, commercial-grade castor oil serves as a base material for numerous industrial formulations.

At Radhe Exim, we offer a complete range of castor oil grades to meet global industrial and cosmetic demands. Our First Special Grade (FSG) Castor Oil is known for its exceptional purity, stability, and suitability for lubricants, coatings, and pharmaceutical applications. The Commercial Grade Castor Oil, one of our best-selling exports, delivers reliable performance and cost efficiency for soaps, lubricants, and surfactants. We also supply cold-pressed castor oil, a 100% natural and chemical-free option ideal for cosmetic and medicinal use, retaining all essential fatty acids. Additionally, our Pale Pressed Grade Castor Oil is a high-purity, light-colored oil produced by the first pressing of castor seeds, widely preferred for coatings, resins, and polish manufacturing. With these premium castor oil varieties, Radhe Exim serves as a one-stop solution for global buyers seeking consistent quality, competitive pricing, and on-time export delivery from India.

The primary component of castor oil is ricinoleic acid (C18H34O3), which makes up nearly 90% of its fatty acid content. This unique hydroxylated fatty acid provides superior lubricity and chemical reactivity, distinguishing castor oil from other vegetable oils. During production, castor seeds are cleaned, dried, and mechanically pressed to extract crude oil. The extracted oil then undergoes filtration and neutralization to remove impurities, followed by degumming and bleaching for clarity and consistency. The commercial-grade variant is typically refined to maintain its acid value below acceptable industrial standards while preserving its hydroxyl value, ensuring stable performance under heat and pressure. The absence of harmful solvents or additives makes it eco-friendly and safe for diverse industrial applications.

Commercial Grade Castor Oil Exporter from India – Radhe Exim

In terms of chemical behavior, commercial-grade castor oil exhibits high polarity and excellent solubility with alcohols and other polar substances, making it an essential raw material for the synthesis of polyols, sebacic acid, and other derivatives used in coatings, lubricants, and resins.

With this scientific and sustainable approach, Radhe Exim ensures that every drop of commercial-grade castor oil we export meets the highest international standards for purity, performance, and consistency—earning the trust of industries across Asia, Europe, and North America.
