Turkey Red Oil / Sulfonated Castor Oil

Turkey Red Oil (TRO) is one of the derivatives of Castor Oil. TRO easily disperses in water, has long shelf life and is known for purity. Owing to these qualities, it is highly used in the manufacturing of many industrial products and organic manures. TRO is also rich in ricinoleic acid.

Turkey Red Oil (TRO) is an anionic surfactant; it is readily biodegradable and has excellent thickening, binding and surface properties. TRO is a viscous golden reddish liquid which is readily soluble in Water and Ethanol. TRO is compatible with a wide range of materials and is stable over a wide pH range.

This water soluble oil retains the moisturising properties of castor oil and is therefore valuable for the production of personal care products like skin care, hair care, nail care, cosmetics and soaps.
