Lanolin Alcohol Tech

Lanolin Alcohol Tech: Properties and Composition

Lanolin Alcohol Tech consists of alcohol fractions obtained during the processing and refining of lanolin. These fractions contain a complex mixture of sterols, triterpene alcohols, and aliphatic alcohols.

Due to their polarity and surface-active properties, lanolin alcohols can absorb water and support the formation of water-in-oil emulsions. Different grades are available for specific technical formulation requirements:

  • Complex mixture of sterols and alcohols
  • Surface-active properties
  • Water-absorbing properties
  • Supports water-in-oil emulsification

Lanolin Alcohol Tech: Applications and Benefits

Lanolin Alcohol Tech is used as a functional ingredient in technical formulations where emulsification, water absorption, or surface-active properties are required. Its composition makes it suitable for a range of industrial formulations and processing applications:

  • Technical emulsions
  • Water-in-oil formulations
  • Lubricants and specialty greases
  • Protective and surface-treatment formulations
  • Other specialized technical formulations
