Calcium 12-Hydroxystearate
Calcium 12-Hydroxystearate (NDEVSOAP™ CA12) is a water-resistant calcium hydroxy-stearate derivative under technical development. Synthesized from 12-HSA, it provides strong water-washout resistance in marine and chassis greases and serves as a processing lubricant for PVC, from our plant at Deodar, Gujarat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is calcium 12-hydroxystearate soap specified over lithium soaps?
Preferred in marine stern tubes, water pumps, and agricultural machinery where water washout resistance is critical, and as an internal/external lubricant in rigid PVC extrusion.
Which drop point temperature and calcium assay thresholds characterize NDEVSOAP™ CA12?
Meets 6.0% to 6.8% calcium content, melting point of 145°C to 160°C, and moisture max 1.0%.
How can grease compounders submit formulation requirements?
Grease compounders can submit drop point and consistency parameters via our enquiry portal to coordinate pilot batch review.
