Product Description
It is an oil extracted by the pressing of the Castor Oil plant, Ricinus Communis. Depending on the country of cultivation, Castor Oil plants can grow between 4 feet to 40 feet tall.
The long, curved, polished leaves on purplish foot-stalks are alternatively arranged on the stem. Mature leaves are blue-green when fully expanded, and paler beneath; however, young leaves are red and shiny.
Interestingly, the Ricinus Communis has both a male and female flower, with the male growing on the under portion of the spike and the female growing on the upper portion.
The blunt, greenish, deeply-grooved capsule-like fruit of the Castor Oil plant is less than one inch long and produces compressed oval seeds, which are pressed to obtain Castor Oil.

Function
Castor oil is a triglyceride of fatty acids, castor oil exists in the seeds of castor oil, the content of which is 35% ~ 57.% "castor oil was extracted by extraction or solvent extraction method. Ricinoleic acid contains 90% ricinoleic acid (9 monotony 1 12· hydroxyl octadecanoic acid).
The hydroxyl value is 163mgKOH/g, the hydroxyl content is 4.94%, the molecular weight of hydroxyl is 929.26, according to the hydroxyl calculation, ricinoleic oil contains 70% of the trifunctional degree and 30% of the difunctional degree, the average hydroxyl functional degree is 2.7.
Polyurethane adhesive made from castor oil has good low-temperature property, hydrolysis resistance, and excellent electrical insulation.
Application
