12 Hydroxy Stearic Acid (12 H.S.A)

Car and Truck Greases

12-HSA soaps are key parts in mineral oil-based multi-purpose greases. This means the same grease can be used in different parts of cars and trucks, reducing complexity and maintaining good results.

Paint and Coatings

In paints, 12-HSA mixes with acrylic esters to make hard, long-lasting polymers. These are used in high-quality car finishes, industrial equipment coatings, and decorative metal treatments.

Rubber Making

In rubber making, 12-HSA works as both an activator and internal lubricant for natural and synthetic rubbers. This helps during making and improves the final product.

Plastics and Chemical Making

12 hydroxy stearic acid uses include plastics lubrication and as a raw material for making more complex chemicals. It also acts as a high-hydroxyl castor-based wax component.

Beauty Products

In cosmetics, 12-HSA works as a gel-making agent for liquid petroleum products to make them shiny. It mixes into cold creams and vanishing creams to create a jelly-like feeling that users like.

Grease Making

12 HSA manufacturers in India use 12-HSA to make greases stronger and more stable. 12-HSA-based greases provide the dual benefits of sodium greases’ heat tolerance and calcium greases’ water resistance. Adding 12-HSA makes greases work better with improved texture, better heat stability, and higher dropping points.
