Description

Lanolin Fatty Acids CAS NO 68424-43-1 are a refined mixture of fatty acids derived from the saponification and purification of lanolin, the natural wax secreted by sheep. This product is valued for its excellent emollient, emulsifying, and skin-protective properties, making it a versatile ingredient for high-performance formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for creating moisturizers, ointments, and other dermatological preparations.

Application

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Key emollient and stabilizer in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and hair conditioners for enhanced skin feel and moisture retention.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a base or excipient in topical ointments, healing creams, and protective barriers due to its skin-compatible and occlusive nature.
• Industrial Lubricants & Metalworking: Serves as a component in specialty lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, and drawing compounds.
• Leather & Textile Processing: Acts as a softening and conditioning agent in leather fat liquors and textile auxiliaries.
• Soaps & Detergents: Utilized in the production of high-grade soaps and industrial cleansers for its surfactant qualities.
• Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a raw material for producing esters, amides, and other derivatives for various industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to preserve quality and prevent rancidity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
