QUANTRIX® QA-12-HSA is a vegetable – derived fatty acid that can be used in a wide range of applications such as multi-purpose glycerin-free greases formulations. 12-HSA is in cream-color flakes form with a high melting point. This product is insoluble in water, but soluble in either, alcohol or chloroform. This product, upon saponification with appropriate metal hydroxides such as Lithium Hydroxide and Calcium Hydroxide yields high performance metal–salt soap thickeners. These thickeners impart the below characteristics to the multi-purpose Lithium and Calcium based greases:
• High dropping points
• High water resistance
• Enhanced overall performance
• Excellent heat stability
• Improved texture
• Simplifying grease manufacturing process because of no need for milling and homogenization steps
Features
• High melting point
• Odorless and tasteless
• High compatibility with most resins
• Thickener and Opacifier
• High heat stability
• High water resistance
Applications
QUANTRIX® QA-12-HSA has many applications, including but not limited to:
• Fluid lubricants
• Lubricating greases
• Health and beauty products
• Resin and adhesive
