Overview

About 12-Hydroxystearic Acid in China

12-Hydroxystearic acid (12-HSA) is a saturated hydroxy fatty acid derived from castor oil, produced as a white crystalline flake or powder. Its hydroxyl group and long fatty chain make it an effective structurant, thickener and rheology modifier, and a key raw material for lithium and complex greases, cosmetic sticks and coatings.

Zentish Exim supplies 12-HSA sourced from qualified Indian producers, with certificates of analysis and safety data sheets. India is the world's leading source of castor and castor derivatives, which underpins dependable supply. Grade and specification are reported per batch on request.

China's large chemicals and coatings industry is a sophisticated buyer of specialty intermediates. Castor specialties and CNSL derivatives serve resin, grease and coating applications, with documentation and grade control as key buyer criteria.
