   • Reduces lubricant “throw-off” by 40% in high-temperature applications (ASTM D2265 testing).
2. Cost Leadership:
   • Bulk pricing at 8.50–12.00/kg—15% below EU/US competitors.
   • Savings of 5,000–8,000 per 10-ton order compared to European suppliers.
3. Safety & Compliance:
   • Heavy metals (Pb, Cd) reduced by 50–70% vs. industry averages.
   • FDA 21 CFR §178.3570 compliant for indirect food contact; REACH-registered.
4. Process Efficiency:
   • Faster dispersion in formulations (15–20% reduction in mixing time).

Lithium 12-Hydroxystearate as a Lubricant

Lithium 12-Hydroxystearate, a derivative of stearic acid with a hydroxyl group attached at the 12th carbon position, is highly valued as a lubricant due to its exceptional properties. Its hydrophilic nature and lubricating capabilities make it an ideal choice for applications requiring stable and effective lubrication, particularly in aqueous environments.

As a lubricant, Lithium 12-Hydroxystearate forms a smooth and durable lubricating film that significantly reduces friction between moving parts. This not only enhances the operational efficiency of machinery but also prolongs their lifespan by minimizing wear and tear. Its solubility in water allows for easy incorporation into water-based lubricants, making it a versatile additive for a wide range of industrial and automotive applications.

In summary, Lithium 12-Hydroxystearate stands out as a high-performance lubricant component, offering superior lubrication and protection in demanding conditions.

1. Uncompromising Quality & ISO-Certified Processes

• Stringent Certification: Our manufacturing adheres to ISO 9001:2015 (quality management) and ISO 22000 (food safety) standards, ensuring every batch meets rigorous specifications.
• Batch-to-Batch Consistency: Advanced analytical testing (e.g., GC for purity, ICP-MS for heavy metals) guarantees <1.5% RSD (relative standard deviation) in critical parameters like melting point and acid value.
• Quality in Action: For example, when a European lubricant manufacturer required a 200°C dropping point for high-temperature greases, ACTA’s QC team fine-tuned the crystallization process to achieve 215°C—exceeding expectations.

2. Customization That Empowers Innovation

• Tailored Solutions: We don’t just sell products—we co-create solutions. Options include:
  • Particle Size Optimization: Adjustable from 10–100 μm to enhance dispersion in your specific formulation.
  • Private Labeling: White-label packaging with your branding, reducing time-to-market.
  • Formula Collaboration: Our R&D team partners with clients to develop bespoke additives. For instance, we recently engineered a low-odor variant for a cosmetics client targeting sensitive skin.
• Flexible Logistics:
  • Packaging: 25 kg drums, 1-ton tote bags, or vacuum-sealed moisture-barrier bags.
  • MOQ Flexibility: From lab samples to full container loads (FCL), we accommodate startups and Fortune 500s alike.

3. Global Logistics & Risk Mitigation

• Reliable Supply Chain: With warehouses in Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia, we ensure 7–14-day delivery even during geopolitical disruptions.
• Duty-Optimized Shipping: Our logistics team structures shipments to minimize tariffs, leveraging free-trade agreements (e.g., RCEP for Asia-Pacific clients).
• Transparency Tools: Real-time tracking via a proprietary portal, with alerts for customs clearance or delays.
