About 12-Hydroxystearic Acid in South Africa
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.
South Africa's mining, coatings and industrial sectors consume lubricant and resin ingredients. Castor specialties such as 12-HSA suit grease applications, while CNSL derivatives support coatings and friction materials.
