Disodium Sebacate is a castor oil derivative which can be used in cosmetics, detergents, and as a corrosion inhibitor in lubricants. DSS is approved under CFR 21.178.3570 for incidental food contact in greases, and DSS has been used to replace sodium nitrites in aluminum greases. Its fine particle size allows it to be added to the grease during the cool down period with no additional processing.
