Overview
Polyricinoleic Acid (PRA) is a polymer of ricinoleic acid which occurs naturally in castor oil in the triglyceride form.
It is a viscous pale-yellow coloured liquid with a fatty odour.
Polyricinoleic Acid is proving to be an excellent alternative to other toxic chemicals used in many chemical formulations because of its good oxidative biodegradability, non-volatility, and stability.
We offer PRA at different acid value ranges namely, PRA 35: 30-40, PRA 50: 45-55, PRA 95: 90-100
Uses of Polyricinoleic Acid
- Polyricinoleic Acid can be used in metal working as lubricants and a coolant.
- The esterification of PRA with polyglycerol gives a powerful water-in-oil emulsifier called polyglycerol polyricinoleate which is used by the food industry.
- Polyglycerol polyricinoleate is also used as a viscosity modifier to reduce the viscosity of food products like chocolate.
- It can be formulated with a wide range of oils, surfactants and oil soluble materials.
- PRA is also used to manufacture thermosetting elastomers.
