Ricinoleic Acid Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 12-Hydroxyoleic Acid
- 12-Hydroxy-9-Cis-Octadecenoic Acid
Ricinoleic acid supplier enquiries in Malaysia may also use the trade term castor oil fatty acid. Ricinoleic acid is a hydroxyl-bearing unsaturated fatty acid supplied as a pale to amber viscous liquid, and it must not be confused with castor oil, hydrogenated castor oil or polyricinoleic acid.
Market grades include industrial castor oil fatty acid and higher-purity distilled material. Buyers commonly define the requirement through ricinoleic content, acid value, iodine value, hydroxyl value and colour rather than through separate physical forms.
Ricinoleic acid is used in ricinoleate soaps and lubricating grease systems, surfactant and sulphonated-oil intermediates, alkyd resins, coatings, printing inks, textile auxiliaries and selected personal-care formulations. The hydroxyl group differentiates its formulation behaviour from that of common fatty acids such as oleic acid.

Ricinoleic Acid applications
Common questions about ricinoleic acid
Is ricinoleic acid the same as castor oil?
No. Ricinoleic acid is the free hydroxy fatty acid associated with castor oil, while castor oil is a triglyceride mixture.
How are ricinoleic acid grades specified?
Commercial grades are commonly differentiated by ricinoleic content, acid value, iodine value, hydroxyl value and colour. Send the limits required by your process with the enquiry.
Is ricinoleic acid the same as 12-hydroxystearic acid or polyricinoleic acid?
No. Ricinoleic acid is an unsaturated monomeric hydroxy fatty acid; 12-hydroxystearic acid is hydrogenated, and polyricinoleic acid is a polymerised derivative.
