Overview

About 12-Hydroxystearic Acid in Saudi Arabia

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.

Saudi Arabia's coatings, construction and industrial sectors consume specialty chemical inputs. Castor specialties and CNSL derivatives fit coating, lubricant and friction-material applications, supported by clear documentation.
