Description
Lanolin Fatty Acids is a product of the alkaline hydrolysis of Lanolin, prepared by purifying the wool grease that is a byproduct
from when sheep wool is finished into wool products. The fatty acids is a complex mixture of straight chain acids, branched
chain acids and hydroxy acids. It is in the form of a hard, waxy solid. The majority of the mixture of fatty acids is saturated with
carbon chain lengths varying from C8 to C40.
Application
Lanolin Fatty Acids is characterized by a high softening point, low iodine value and a considerable percentage of hydroxy acids.
Because they possess emulsifying power and high adhesion to various surfaces as well as the excellent oil binding properties of
their metal soaps. It is widely used in lubricating greases. It also has found a home in solid and liquid polishing compositions,
emulsion polishes, mold release ages and anti-corrosion compounds.
