Zinc Ricinoleate
Zinc Ricinoleate (NDEVSOAP™ ZNR) is an odor-absorbing zinc hydroxy-oleate compound under technical development. Derived from ricinoleic acid, it binds volatile odor-causing sulfur and nitrogen compounds in cosmetics, home care, and industrial formulations from our plant at Deodar, Gujarat.

Frequently Asked Questions
What chemical mechanism allows zinc ricinoleate to trap malodor molecules?
The zinc central atom forms stable coordination complexes with sulfur- and nitrogen-containing volatile compounds (such as mercaptans, sulfides, and amines), permanently binding odors without interfering with pleasant fragrance compounds.
How is the purity and metal chelation ratio of zinc ricinoleate verified?
Verified by EDTA complexometric titration showing 9.0–11.0% zinc (theoretical 9.9%), acid value ≤ 5.0 mg KOH/g, melting point of 70–82°C, and moisture max 1.0%.
In which personal care and home care goods is zinc ricinoleate formulated?
Natural stick and roll-on deodorants, body sprays, pet care shampoos, textile refreshers, and municipal odor control systems.
