Blown Castor Oil (BCO) (also known as: oxidized castor oil, polymerized castor oil, caster stand oil) is a golden yellow to honey colored viscous liquid. Blown Castor Oil (BCO) has an acid value of 3 to 25 mg KOH/g and a viscosity of 15 to 17 Poise. There are numerous applications in various industrial segments, such as adhesives (hot-melt and solution): plasticizer and coupling solvent for resins and modifiers; inks: resin and binder plasticizer, medium for dispersion of pigments and dyes; sealants and caulks: flexibility, penetration, adhesion...view more

Dehydrated Castor Oil (DCO), Pale Grade, is created when approximately 5% of the chemically combined water has been removed. Its drying properties are similar to those of Tung oil. Heating the oil in the presence of catalysts such as clays and metal oxides, phosphoric acid, and sulfuric acid, is where dehydration is carried out. Dehydrated Castor Oil (DCO), Pale Grade has a characteristic odor and is a yellow oily liquid. It has a Poise viscosity (25°C) of 1.6 to 2.8. Dehydrated castor oil is a unique drying oil, which imparts fine gloss, toughness, good flexibility, adhesion...view more

Dehydrated castor oil is a unique drying oil, which imparts fine gloss, toughness, good flexibility, adhesion, and chemical and water resistance to the dry paint film with non-yellowing properties. DCO is a very suitable for Linseed oil. Using DCO with paints offer superior finish and are super white. Applications are as a primary binder for enamels, house paints, sealants, caulks, and inks. view less
