Production and Uses of Key Castor Oil Oleochemicals

This Whitepaper has a focus on the key oleochemical derivatives of castor oil, as it is felt these derivatives will have significant increases in demand in future. For instance, there has been a tremendous amount of interest worldwide in the use of castor oil for production of polyamides and other polymers such as polyurethane; this is likely to result in significant demand increases for oleochemicals such as sebacic acid, undecylenic acid and special grades of castor oil such as the low moisture grade.

This article provides more details on the production processes for the key oleochemicals derived from castor oil, and especially those that are likely to have very high future business potential. It will also provide inputs on the various current and future possible applications of these oleochemicals.

It is hoped that these details will motivate entrepreneurs and businessmen to explore the business opportunities in castor oil-based oleochemicals with greater vigour.
