High quality RICINOLEIC ACID

·         Primary uses include, coatings, plastics, inks and cosmetics.

·         Poly (anhydrides) is hydrolytically degradable polymers which have been used as vehicles for controlled delivery of drugs. A new class of biodegradable polyanhydrides based on ricinoleic acid has been synthesized

·         Ricinoleic acid is effective in preventing the growth of numerous species of viruses, bacteria, yeasts, and molds. It's successful as a topical treatment for ringworm, keratoses, skin inflammation, abrasions, fungal-infected finger- and toenails, acne, and chronic pruritus (itching).

Hence, washing wounds with ricinoleic acid at prescribed dilution levels is sometimes recommended.

·         Ricin acts as a blood coagulant

·         Macrolactones and polyesters can be derived from ricinoleic acid

·         Ricinoleic acid has been used in contraceptive jellies
