    JAVA PLUMS AND BLOWN CASTOR OIL AS MAIN COMPONENTS OF

    OIL-BASED BALLPEN INKS

    Why use Java Plum?


    Java Plums are commonly found in the Philippines which makes it
    an efficient substitute to the main component of oil-based
    ballpen inks. Other research studies used berries as their dye;
    but berries are seldom grown in Philippines and, Baguio
    strawberries are only grown in season.
    Java Plum extract have stains that function similarly as dyes
    making it a good colourant to the ink.

    When are the fruiting seasons of Java Plums?


    Mid-may to mid-june

    Average production of Java Plums


    700 fruits/tree

    What is Castor Oil?


    Castor oil is a vegetable oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the
    castor plant. Castor seeds can be collected year-round, but seeds
    are best collected from May to August.

    Common Uses: Food and Preservatives


    Medicine (Over-the-counter drugs as a
    laxative)
    Safety: Castor seed contains ricin, a toxic protein.
    Heating during the oil extracting process denatures
    and deactivates the protein. (for 2 hrs).

    Where do Castor Plants commonly found?


    Castor plants are native in Africa, but can also be found in the
    Philippines. (Local name: Tangan-tangan)

    Why use Castor Oil?


    Castor oils contain Ricinoleic Acid (12-hydroxy-9-octadeceroic
    acid) , obtained by hydrolysis of castor oil is a light colored
    liquid with a ricinoleic content of approximately 90%. This
    product is most noted for its use in coatings, plastics, personal
    items, inks and cosmetics.

    What type of Castor Oil should be used?


    Blown/Oxidized Castor Oil
    Blown castor oils are prepared by bubbling air
    through the oil at elevated temperatures. This
    process increases viscosity and specific gravity.
    These oils are used primarily as plasticizers for
    lacquers, inks, adhesives and leathers.

    How to oxidize Castor oil


    Castor oil can be oxidized by blowing
    air/oxygen into it at temperature of 80-1300c,
    with or without catalyst to obtain oils of varying
    viscosity. The process is called Oxidative
    Polymerization. This increases the viscosity and
    specific gravity of oil.

    **Plasticizers used to make the dried film of printing ink more flexible.
    **Viscosity (in oil) - is an oils resistance to flow and shear. It is the single most critical physical
    property of the oil as it affects both the wear rate and the fuel efficiency. Water is a low viscosity
    fluid; syrup is a high viscosity fluid. With oil, like syrup, as you increase the temperature, the
    viscosity lowers, meaning it flows faster, or more easily.
    **Thixotropy a property of fluid such as printing inks that describes its false body, or a
    consistency, thickness and viscosity that decreases with the application of stress or other forces.

    Example of Thixotropy Promoters
