Overview

About Castor Derivatives in USA

Castor derivatives are oleochemicals produced from castor oil, itself pressed from the seeds of Ricinus communis. This range covers 12-hydroxystearic acid (12-HSA), a white crystalline flake, and hydrogenated castor oil (HCO), a white waxy solid. They serve as rheology modifiers, thickeners, lubricants and processing aids across personal care, coatings, polymers and lubricants.

Zentish Exim supplies castor derivatives sourced from qualified Indian producers, with certificates of analysis and safety data sheets. India is the world's leading source of castor and its derivatives, giving dependable supply security. Grade and specification are reported per batch on request.

US buyers source inorganic and industrial chemicals for water treatment, coatings, rubber, cleaning and process use, with industrial introduction governed by TSCA and food-contact uses by FDA rules. Los Angeles/Long Beach, New Jersey and Savannah are the main entry points; air freight runs 7-10 days and ocean 25-35 days from Indian west-coast ports.
