A first-of-its-kind Sebacic acid production plant is planned to be built in Duq
m Special Economic Zone with an investment of $62.7 million and the chairman of the Special Economic Zone Authority at Duqm (SEZAD) and the representatives of Sebacic Acid Oman Company have signed an agreement.
The plant will be spread over 400,000 square meters of land and will be the first-of-its-kind in the Middle East.
Arkema has launched a new biosourced polyamide 6.10 range called Rilan S, partially processed from castor oil. The polyamide has been manufactured at Arkema’s Zhangjiagang facility in China
Rilan S is an alternative to long-chain polyamides and PA6/PA6.6; it closes the gap between long-chain polyamides and PA6/PA6.6. The various Rilan S grades already available find applications in the field of transport, sports and electronics.

Scientists from Brazil conducted an experiment to evaluate the biocompatibility and osteogenesis of castor oil polymer doped with SiO2 or BaTiO3 nanopar
ticles.
Twenty-four rats with bone defect were experimented with castor oil polymer doped with SiO2 or BaTiO3. Euthanasia occurred 30 and 60 days after surgery and the femurs were sent to histological analysis and MEV. Results showed that the implants were biocompatible and allowed for progressive osteogenesis. Thus, castor oil polymer doped with SiO2 or BaTiO3 remains biocompatible and allows for osteogenesis.
Scientists from China conducted an experiment to analyze the effect of castor oil based chlorinated phosphate ester on thermal degradation of PVC. A novel flame r
etardant chlorinated phosphate ester based on castor oil (CPECO) was synthesized. Its chemical structure was characterised with FTIR and NMR.
Application of CPECO as a secondary plasticizer for PVC gained satisfied flame retardancy and substituted for dioctyl phthalate (DOP) partly. Increase in PVC blends was observed. The flame retardant mechanism showed that phosphorus containing generated from the pyrolysis of CPECO could promote char residual.

Scientists from Japan conducted an experiment to analyze the nature and 
characteristics of polymerizable vesicles produced by using oxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil. Polymerized vesicles were produced in aqueous solution. Hydrogen NMR spectroscopy was used to investigate the polymerization process using azobis(isobutyronitrile) as an initiator.
Results showed that the polymerized vesicles were resistant to disruption by polyoxyethylene(10) octylphenyl ether. The degree of resistance depends on vesicle concentration and incubation temperature and this dependence is due to the inter-vesicle polymerization.
Researchers from India conducted an experiment to analyze the thermo-mechanical properties of castor oil based polyol foam. Castor oil was extracted usi
ng hydraulic press and was allowed to react with toluene diisocyanate and other material to obtain the polyurethane foam. Incorporation of castor oil increased the hardness, density and compression of the foam. The cost of production also significantly decreased.
These results suggest that castor oil could be widely used for the manufacture of polyurethane foam.
