First Pressed Degummed Castor Oil (FPD)

First Pressed Degummed Castor Oil (FPD) is a high-quality castor oil grade derived through the initial pressing of castor seeds, followed by degumming, a process that removes naturally occurring plant gums and polymeric impurities. This enhances the oil's clarity, color, and stability, making it suitable for specialized industrial uses.

FPD retains the natural lubricating properties of pure castor oil without causing carbon buildup, making it an excellent option for lubricant applications. Compared to Commercial Castor Oil, it offers a lighter color and improved purity, while maintaining similar performance characteristics.

Key Applications:

  • Used as a base oil in various industrial and automotive lubricants
  • Ideal for applications requiring commercial castor oil with improved color and cleanliness
  • Acts as a raw material for further refining into specialty castor oil grades and derivatives
  • Suitable for industries that demand high-purity castor oil with reduced residue formation
