Drofat™ 285 (Ricinoleic Acid) is a clear pale yellow liquid with an acid value of 175 min and viscosity of 350-450 cP at 25°C. It is widely used in lubricants, greases, urethanes, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and textiles for its functional and versatile properties.
Drofat™ 286 (12-Hydroxy Stearic Acid - 12-HSA) is available in white to cream flakes, powder, or granules, with an acid value above 175 and a melting point above 74°C. It plays a key role in manufacturing greases, acting as a thickener when converted to lithium salts. In plastics processing, it improves flow and serves as a thixotropic agent in rubber paints and epoxy polyamide coatings. In personal care products, it acts as an emollient in skin, hair, and makeup formulations. Additionally, it enhances performance in metalworking applications and reacts with acrylic esters to produce thermosetting polymers for high-performance coatings.
