Undecylenic Acid Oil - Nova Industries Nova Industries supplies high-purity Undecylenic Acid Oil, a premium castor-derived specialty chemical widely used in personal care formulations, skin-active ingredients, pharmaceutical intermediates, coatings, agrochemicals, and advanced industrial chemistry. Produced through the controlled pyrolysis of ricinoleic acid obtained from castor oil, Undecylenic Acid (C11H20O2) is a valuable bio-based molecule with strong antifungal, antimicrobial, and surfactant properties. Our product is manufactured, refined, and packed with a focus on purity, odor profile, traceability, and performance stability, making it highly suitable for global buyers and formulation specialists. Undecylenic Acid Oil is a non-food, plant-origin alternative to petrochemical raw materials. Its molecular structure gives it exceptional reactivity, enabling it to act as an intermediate for esters, salts, polymers, surface modifiers, and bio-compatible additives. The purity and stability of this ingredient directly influence product performance; therefore Nova Industries follows strict processing, moisture control, and impurity management to maintain consistent specifications across batches. We supply technical grade and cosmetic/pharma-compatible grades depending on buyer requirements. Key Properties & Attributes - Derived from 100% renewable castor source - Mild to medium natural fatty odor - Strong antifungal & anti-microbial activity - High stability in formulations - Excellent compatibility with oils, lipids, and surfactants - Suitable for high-value cosmetic and pharma applications - Lower volatility compared to short-chain acids - Performs well in emulsions and barrier coatings Applications Pharmaceutical & Personal Care: Undecylenic Acid Oil is widely used in antifungal creams, ointments, powders, and topical solutions. It serves as an active in formulations targeting ringworm, athlete's foot, skin fungus, yeast infections, and dermatological conditions. Its ability to inhibit fungal growth makes it a preferred ingredient in medicated skincare, foot care, and nail care formulations. Cosmetics & Body Care: The oil functions as a natural deodorizing agent and odor-control additive due to its antimicrobial profile. It is used in deodorants, talcum powders, foot sprays, scalp products, and hygiene formulations. Its compatibility with natural oils and emulsifiers makes it suitable for clean-label and plant-based cosmetic brands. Agrochemicals & Bioproducts: Undecylenic derivatives are used in pesticide synthesis, insect repellents, and bio-based wetting agents. It supports high-performance agricultural formulations that require stability, biodegradability, and low toxicity. Chemical Intermediates & Industrial Uses: Undecylenic Acid is an ideal chemical building block for polymers, nylon intermediates, surfactants, lubricants, plasticizers, and esters. It enables synthesis of high-value derivatives such as undecylenates, halogen derivatives, esters, amides, and specialty coatings. Its carbon-11 backbone provides strong reactivity in industrial chemistry.

We operate in the world's most productive castor cultivation zone, enabling us to access fresh seed, consistent supply, and superior product quality. Our focus is on delivering renewable, sustainable, and high-performance bio-materials for modern industries. From lubricants and polymers to coatings, cosmetics and pharmaceutical intermediates, Nova Industries provides products that solve real manufacturing challenges. We believe the future of industry will not run on petrochemicals alone. Our mission is to accelerate the shift toward renewable chemistry through precise, export-grade castor derivatives. Castor is a unique non-edible crop grown in semi-arid regions that does not compete with food resources. With more than 85-90% ricinoleic acid, castor oil offers molecular advantages not found in palm, soybean, coconut, or sunflower oils. This makes it an ideal feedstock for advanced industrial reactions such as hydrogenation, saponification, esterification, dehydration and polymer modification. Nova Industries is built on the principle of "Renewable Materials for Sustainable Performance." We approach manufacturing like engineering, not trading. Our processes include temperature-controlled reactors, catalytic hydrogenation, impurity filtration, moisture control, and raw material segregation. Each batch goes through standard QC checks-acid value, moisture, melt/solidification behavior, clarity, and active composition. Our documentation includes COA, MSDS, export packing lists, commercial invoices, and compliance records to ensure full traceability for every shipment. Our product range includes core castor oils (FSG, Pale Pressed, First Pressed Degummed, Commercial Grade), and value-added derivatives such as Hydrogenated Castor Oil (HCO) flakes, 12-Hydroxy Stearic Acid (12HSA) flakes, Ricinoleic Acid, Dehydrated Castor Oil (DCO), Dehydrated Castor Oil Fatty Acid (DCOFA), Methyl Ricinolate, and Methyl 12HSA. We support multiple sectors: lubricants and greases, PVC stabilizers, polymer modification, adhesives, specialty inks, cosmetic bases, paints and coatings, textile finishing, pharma inputs and industrial additives. Located near the Nainol and North Gujarat castor belt, we maintain direct farmer relationships and transparent procurement. This ensures seed consistency, low peroxide values, minimal impurities and stable chemical performance. For global logistics, we ship via Mundra Port and Nhava Sheva (JNPT), providing container optimization, palletization, private labeling and custom packaging. INCOTERMS including EXW, FOB, CIF, CNF and DAP are available based on buyer preference. Nova Industries is led by Naresh Desai, who brings deep experience in castor trade, commodity procurement, and specialty chemical development. His leadership emphasizes reliability, documentation, and communication-qualities that international buyers value. Our customers remain with us not because of occasional low pricing, but because they trust our consistency. At Nova Industries, we do not sell commodities. We deliver precision chemistry engineered for performance-repeatable, traceable and ready for global manufacturing.
