Magnesium(2+) 12-hydroxyoctadecanoate or Magnesium 12-hydroxystearate is a hydroxy-substituted long-chain fatty acid salt, is the magnesium salt of 12-hydroxystearic acid. Magnesium di-12-hydroxystearate (Metallic soap - magnesium salt of 12-hydroxystearic acid) is a powdery, hydrophobic material valued as a thickener and gelling agent in the formulation of lubricating greases, where it forms stable fiber structures in oils, delivering excellent mechanical stability and high-temperature resistance. Beyond lubricants, it finds use in plastics, coatings, and inks as a stabilizer, matting agent, and release aid. Also referred to as Octadecanoic acid, 12-hydroxy-, magnesium salt by the magnesium 12-hydroxystearate supplier and manufacturer. We are the leading, trusted magnesium 12-hydroxystearate supplier worldwide and in the United States, with reliable lead times and global supply capability.
