Applications
1. For Grease And Lubricant Manufacturing: 12-Hydroxystearic acid (12-HSA, CAS 106-14-9) is a key raw material for high-performance lithium, lithium-complex and calcium greases, serving as the precursor for soap thickeners that provide stable structure, water resistance and mechanical stability in lubrication.
2. For Cosmetics And Personal Care: As a fatty acid gellant and thickener, 12-HSA is used in lipsticks, creams and emulsion formulations to build viscosity and stable gel structures, supporting consistent texture in personal care products.
3. For Coatings Inks And Polishes: 12-HSA acts as a rheology modifier and thickening agent in paints, inks, polishes and wax blends, helping formulators control viscosity and film properties in coating systems.
4. For Adhesives And Industrial Formulations: The acid is used in hot-melt adhesives, plastics processing and as a textile lubricant, offering manufacturers a versatile hydroxystearate building block for specialty formulations.
5. Reliable Supply For Global Industry: Supplied as high-purity flakes and powder with consistent quality, 12-hydroxystearic acid gives grease, cosmetic, coating and adhesive manufacturers a dependable fatty acid with stable supply, flexible packaging and professional technical support.
Quality Assurance
Every batch of chemicals leaves our factory with complete laboratory documentation — not a promise, but verifiable test data. From incoming raw material inspection to finished-goods release, each batch is tested against published specifications, and a Certificate of Analysis (COA) accompanies every single shipment. What you order is exactly what we test — and what we ship.
Tested by our in-house ISO 9001:2015 laboratory. Verified independently by third-party labs on request (SGS / BV / Intertek). Traceable from raw material to your warehouse.
