Product Description
When precision matters in your lab experiments, CASTOR OIL Extra Pure from Loba Chemie delivers unmatched quality. This high-purity castor oil is meticulously processed to meet stringent laboratory standards, making it a reliable choice for researchers, students, and educators. Whether you’re conducting chemical synthesis, preparing reagents, or exploring biochemical applications, this extra pure grade ensures consistent results without impurities.
Castor oil is widely recognized for its versatility in scientific applications. Its unique fatty acid composition, particularly ricinoleic acid, makes it invaluable in emulsions, lubricants, and even as a solvent in certain reactions. The extra pure grade eliminates contaminants that could interfere with sensitive experiments, giving you confidence in your findings.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of sourcing lab supplies that align with your research needs. This castor oil is packaged in convenient sizes (500 ml and 2.5 L) to suit both small-scale projects and bulk requirements. The durable packaging ensures stability and prevents degradation, so your supply remains effective until the last drop.

Why This Castor Oil Stands Out
Not all castor oils are created equal. This extra pure variant is specifically designed for laboratory environments where consistency and purity are non-negotiable. Unlike industrial or cosmetic grades, it undergoes rigorous quality checks to confirm its suitability for analytical and research purposes. You won’t find residual solvents, heavy metals, or other impurities that could skew your data.
For educators, this product serves as an excellent teaching tool. Its predictable behavior in reactions helps students grasp fundamental concepts in organic chemistry and biochemistry. Researchers, on the other hand, appreciate its reliability in formulations where even minor variations can impact outcomes.
Common Applications in Labs
From academic labs to advanced research facilities, this castor oil finds use in diverse scenarios:
- As a non-volatile solvent in chemical reactions
- In the preparation of emulsions and surfactants
- As a lubricant for sensitive lab equipment
- In biochemical studies involving lipid interactions
- As a standard reagent in qualitative analysis
Its low toxicity profile also makes it safer to handle compared to harsher chemical alternatives, though standard lab safety protocols should always be followed.
Handling and Storage Guidelines
To maintain the integrity of your CASTOR OIL Extra Pure, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use to prevent oxidation or contamination. While it’s non-hazardous under normal conditions, avoid ingestion and contact with eyes or open wounds. For detailed safety information, refer to the accompanying SDS (Safety Data Sheet) provided with your order.
