Overview of Lithium 12-Hydroxystearate
Lithium 12-hydroxystearate is a white powdery industrial product, which can be prepared by the direct reaction of 12-hydroxystearic acid and equimolar lithium hydroxide monohydrate. Can be used to formulate various greases.

Lithium greases are made from natural fatty acid (stearic acid or 12-hydroxystearic acid) lithium soaps, thickened medium viscosity mineral oils or synthetic oils, while synthetic lithium greases are made from synthetic fatty acid lithium soaps , Thickened medium-viscosity mineral oil.
Lithium 12-hydroxystearate (C18H35LiO3) is a compound belonging to the lithium soap group. In chemistry, "soap" refers to salts of fatty acids. Lithium 12-hydroxystearate is a white solid. Lithium soap is an important ingredient in many greases. Lithium 12-hydroxystearate is a fatty acid salt commonly referred to as "lithium soap". It is the most common soap used to stabilize and thicken oils. Lithium is generally preferable to soaps containing other counterweight ions such as sodium, calcium, and barium.
Lithium 12-hydroxystearate application
Lithium 12-hydroxystearate grease is widely used as lubricating oil, stabilizer, decolorizer and thickener. Lithium-based greases: especially those thickened with lithium 12-hydroxystearate soap. After adding antioxidant, rust inhibitor and extreme pressure agent, it becomes a multi-purpose grease. Alternative long-life general purpose greases calcium and sodium based greases are used for bearing lubrication of aircraft, automobiles, tanks, machine tools and various mechanical equipment.
Lithium 12-hydroxystearate is a fatty acid salt commonly known as "lithium soap" and is most commonly used to stabilize and thicken soap oils. Lithium is generally preferred over soaps containing other counter ions such as sodium, calcium and barium.
