Description

Strontium Diricinoleate is a metallic soap derived from ricinoleic acid, a key component of castor oil. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile gelling and thickening agent, particularly in the formulation of lubricating greases and specialty polymers. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the lubricants, plastics, and personal care industries seeking to modify rheological properties and enhance product stability. Its unique structure provides effective performance in systems requiring metal-based stabilization.

Application

• Primary thickener and gelling agent for lithium and calcium complex lubricating greases.
• Stabilizer and rheology modifier in PVC and other polymer formulations.
• Component in cosmetic and personal care products, such as creams and ointments, for texture control.
• Additive in coatings and inks to adjust viscosity and prevent sagging.
• Used in the production of specialty soaps and metalworking compounds.
• Potential application as a catalyst or co-catalyst in certain organic synthesis reactions.

Quality Control

Our Strontium Diricinoleate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency and compliance with agreed specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, metal content, and physical parameters is provided with every shipment. We adhere to ISO 9001 quality standards and can support requirements for REACH and other global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which can affect product performance. Keep away from strong acids and incompatible organic solvents.
