The Castor Oil Industry

Abstract

Castor oil is now extensively used in countries which manufacture large quantities of calicoes and colored cotton goods. The United Kingdom is the greatest European consumer, and of the other principal consuming countries the United States ranks easily among the first. As compared with the enormously increased consumption of other fixed or expressed oils, the use of castor oil in the United States is on a small scale; the annual consumption is measured by hundreds of thousands of gallons, where that of either cotton-seed oil or linseed oil amounts to tens of millions. However, the functions that castor oil performs in industry and in the arts are of great economic importance, as becomes apparent from a consideration of the varied uses to which its peculiar properties adapt it.
