Function tag evidence & scope

Function tags help find candidates. They do not establish suitability for water-based paint or an EcoSafe rating.

At a glance for your formula

PENPET Green 12-hydroxystearic acid is a castor-derived hydroxy fatty acid offered as a structuring ingredient. The supplier describes its ability to form networks in oils, supporting gels, greases and semisolid formulations. Its published use range is formulation guidance rather than a replacement ratio. Grade documents and testing are still needed, particularly where melting behaviour, purity or gel strength controls the finished product.

Grade-specific screening values have not been recorded. Consult the selected supplier’s technical reference.

PENPET Green 12-HSA; CAS 106-14-9

PENPET Green · Supplier-reported · Awaiting human review

Listed claims

  • Supplier reports hydrogenated castor-derived feedstock
  • purity >=98%.

Suggested applications

  • Cosmetic oil gels
  • Lithium-soap greases
  • Printing-ink pigment grinding
  • Pharmaceutical ointments
  • Metal protection and wax systems

Sustainability highlights

  • Supplier identifies castor-derived ricinoleic acid as feedstock.
  • Renewable sourcing is described
  • incremental lifecycle benefit is not quantified.

Performance highlights

  • Supplier reports oil-gelling and structuring behaviour.
  • Low-concentration network formation is claimed
  • test context requires confirmation.

Grade scope & review questions

  • Exact product page checked on 2026-11-03. Existing 1–5% guidance remains a use-level statement only.
  • Gap: Product SDS/TDS and gel-performance evidence required.
  • Gap: No lower-dose or drop-in equivalence demonstrated.
  • CAS 106-14-9 identifies the underlying chemical. It does not establish commercial-grade purity, stabilizers, renewable origin or batch composition.

4 of 16 defined fields are recorded with a source. This measures structured information currently on this site, not the completeness of every linked PDF. Missing fields remain in the denominator.

Coverage is separate from scientific accuracy, human verification and EcoSafe assessment. Molecular fields may not apply to a grade or family; they are not filled from another material to increase its score.
