Octadecanoic acid, 12-hydroxy-, zinc salt (2:1) or Zinc 12-Hydroxy Stearate is the zinc salt of 12-hydroxystearic acid, supplied as a fine white powder. Being mainly used as a thickener and gelling agent in lubricating greases, where it produces excellent mechanical stability and high-temperature resistance. The additional hydroxyl group in Zinc 12-Hydroxy Stearate leads to stronger intermolecular forces and hydrogen bonding. This results in a higher melting point, better gelling ability, and higher viscosity compared to standard zinc stearate. Zinc 12-hydroxystearate also functions as a stabilizer and release agent in plastics, coatings, and printing inks, enhancing water resistance and rheology. Also referred to as (Zinc 12-hydroxystearate & 12-Hydroxystearic acid zinc salt) by Zinc 12-Hydroxy Stearate supplier and manufacturer. We are the leading, trusted Zinc 12-Hydroxy Stearate supplier worldwide and in the United States, with reliable lead times and global supply capability.
