Lithium 12-Hydroxy Stearate is the lithium salt of 12-hydroxystearic acid. 1333-61-5 is primarily valued as a thickener in lubricating greases, providing excellent high-temperature resistance, shear stability, and water resistance. Beyond grease manufacturing, lithium hydroxystearate can be used as a release agent, stabilizer, and rheology modifier in coatings and plastics. The precursor, 12-hydroxystearic acid, is derived from castor oil, a natural source rich in ricinoleic acid. Also known as Octadecanoic acid, 12-hydroxy-, lithium salt by Lithium 12-Hydroxy Stearate distributors and manufacturers. We are the leading, trusted Lithium 12-Hydroxy Stearate supplier worldwide and in the United States, with reliable lead times and global supply capability.
