Description

Oleris™ Vegetable oil chemicals is a 100% biobased range of products, vegetable and renewable origin (castor oil), in accordance with the green chemistry principles.

Castor oil is a non-toxic, biodegradable, renewable resource. It is characterized by a high percentage of ricinoleic acid, almost 85%. It is this linear 18 carbon atom chain that is cracked into two parts, consisting of odd-numbered natural fatty acids: a C7 cut and a C11 cut. Esterol A is the constituent of Castor oil which is not broken up by steam cracking. This product contains several saturated and unsaturated C18 natural fatty acids like stearic, oleic, linoleic and ricinoleic acid (as corresponding methyl esters).
