Description

Fatty Acids, Lanolin, Calcium Salts is a specialized metallic soap derived from the fatty acid components of lanolin. This compound serves as a versatile and effective multi-functional additive, prized for its ability to act as a stabilizer, thickener, and water-repellent agent. It is essential for manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and industrial lubricants sectors seeking natural-derived, high-performance ingredients.

Application

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Acts as a stabilizer, thickener, and opacifying agent in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and makeup formulations.
• Pharmaceutical Ointments: Used as an emulsifier and consistency provider in topical ointments and dermatological preparations.
• Industrial Lubricants & Greases: Functions as a thickening and gelling agent, enhancing the texture and stability of calcium-based greases.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Imparts water-repellent properties and acts as a softening agent in finishing treatments.
• Plastics & Polymers: Serves as an internal lubricant and acid scavenger (stabilizer) during polymer processing.
• Paints & Coatings: Utilized as a flatting and rheology control agent to modify flow and finish.
