 Dehydrated Castor Oil Fatty Acid

Dehydrated Castor Oil Fatty Acid, also known as DCOFA, is a unique and versatile chemical obtained from the castor bean plant, Ricinus communis. The unique production method that separates DCOFA from normal castor oil comprises the removal of water content and contaminants, resulting in a highly concentrated and pure fatty acid. This specialised dehydration method not only improves the oil's stability and shelf life but also expands its utility in a variety of industries.

Dehydrated Castor Oil Fatty Acid has a wide range of industrial applications, owing principally to its outstanding chemical composition. Its high ricinoleic acid content makes it an important raw material for the synthesis of a variety of valuable compounds, including biodegradable polymers, medicines, and cosmetics. Its environmentally favourable characteristics make it an appealing alternative for sustainable product development, harmonising with the expanding global emphasis on green technologies.

Dehydrated Castor Oil Fatty Acid commonly known as DCOFA is a high diene Fatty Acid based on Castor Oil. DCOFA is liquid at room temperature, having a water-white to pale-yellow colour. Dehydration of Castor Oil is carried out at about 2500C in the presence of catalysts and under an inert atmosphere or vacuum.
