Castor oil fairly thickly as a slurry which is self-levelling. This base is usually further coated with other systems to build a resilient floor . It is not a drying oil, meaning that it has a low reactivity with air compared to oils such as linseed oil and tung oil. Dehydration of castor oil yields linoleic acids, which do have drying properties. In this process, the OH group on the ricinoleic acid along with a hydrogen from the next carbon atom are removed yielding a double bond which then has oxidative cross-linking properties yielding the drying oil. Castor oil can be broken
Narva Oil Plant Narva Oil Plant Narva Oil Plant (), a subsidiary of Eesti Energia, is a producer of shale oil from oil shale. It operates a commercial scale shale oil retorting plant, located in Auvere near Narva, Estonia.
