Castor Oil and its derivatives have a wide spectrum of uses in Ink, Paint, Vanish & Rubber industries. Let us look at some important Castor Oil derivatives in the following industries.
Dehydrated Castor Oil (DCO) is used as a primary binder for paints, enamels, sealants, inks and more. It has functional use for the production of alkyd resins, acrylic and epoxy ester resins for the paint industry, coatings and as an additive in ink formulations. Paints which integrate this oil grade are super white and delivers a superior finish. DCO is used with phenolics to obtain fast dry coatings with maximum alkali resistance as required in sanitary can linings, corrosion, resistant coatings, high-performance traffic paints, varnishes, vehicles, wire enamels, aluminium paints, appliance finishes and marine finishes, etc.
