In many countries, vegetable oil is a popular choice for lubricating machinery because it’s slippery and breaks down naturally over time. People prefer it over lubricants made from petroleum. However, vegetable oils have limitations, like not being very stable when exposed to air and not performing well in very cold temperatures.
Castor oil is special because it’s rich in a fatty acid called ricinoleic acid. Compared to other vegetable oils used for lubrication, castor oil works better in both very cold and very hot conditions.
Castor oil-based lubricants are commonly used in powerful engines like those in jets, diesel trucks, and race cars. They’re even used to keep bicycle pumps working smoothly. In the past, castor oil was used to lubricate planes during World War II.
