Questions regarding castor oil
Thread Content
This is my first post in this forum; I’m not sure if it’s in the right place. If so, please move it to the appropriate section, moderator – thank you for your understanding. Our company uses castor oil as a raw material in one of our production processes. I’m not sure if there are any explosion-proof requirements related to castor oil; it’s probably completely different from solvents, right? Because the equipment we use for extracting castor oil requires a decision as to whether to purchase an explosion-proof version. Thank you~~
Ricin oil retains its fluidity at -18 degrees Celsius, does not solidify at low temperatures of -40 degrees Celsius, and does not burn at temperatures between 500 and 600 degrees Celsius. It has a high calorific value and a high flash point. Numerous studies are currently being conducted on using ricin oil mixed with diesel to produce biodiesel; therefore, it generally does not explode. I’m not sure what you use castor oil as a raw material for, so this is just for reference.
