Castor oil is an industrial raw material:
Today, castor oil is used in plastics, textiles, paints, cosmetics, and many inks and industrial adhesives. Castor oil is increasingly used in industry. It is mainly used
in the manufacture of decorative artificial leather. It provides pigment for butter, from which so-called "Turkish red" oil is produced for the dyeing of cotton fabrics. It
is an important ingredient in the manufacture of certain artificial rubbers, various kinds of celluloid, and certain waterproof preparations, the greatest use of which is
in the manufacture of transparent soap. It also furnishes sebacic acid for the manufacture of candles and caprylic acid for varnishes.
