Oil of Castor – 500ml Packs

Oil of Castor is a viscous plant-derived oil supplied for educational laboratory experiments and classroom science demonstrations. It serves as an informative, student-friendly resource for studying lipid behavior, natural product chemistry, and fluid dynamics in educational settings.

In school laboratories and college chemistry sessions, this oil is prominently used in classic saponification practicals to produce experimental soaps and demonstrate ester hydrolysis. It is also frequently utilized in physics and physical chemistry classes to demonstrate fluid viscosity, Stoke’s law falling-sphere experiments, and comparative solubility in organic solvents.

This versatile laboratory chemical provides educators with a safe medium for hands-on student practical work across biology, chemistry, and physics curriculums. It is a staple addition to educational science inventory for cross-disciplinary learning.

Store in a tightly closed bottle in a cool, dry area protected from excessive heat. Spills should be cleaned promptly from laboratory benches using detergent solutions to prevent slippery work surfaces.
