Reaction Steps

A lithium hydroxystearate grease thickener was prepared by saponification of a mixture containing about 8% by weight of 12-hydroxystearic acid and 9% by weight of the glyceride thereof, with lithium hydroxide monohydrate (2.5%) in a mineral oil vehicle (about 76%) at about 177° C. and final pressure of about 110 psig in a closed contactor. All percentages were percentages by weight of the total weight of the thickener.
