Lanolin Fatty Acid is obtained during the processing of lanolin and consists of a complex mixture of long-chain branched and unbranched fatty acids. A significant proportion of these fatty acids is hydroxylated, contributing to the characteristic properties of the material. Different grades are available for specific formulation and application requirements:
Lanolin Fatty Acid is used as a functional ingredient in a range of industrial and technical formulations. Its fatty acid composition makes it suitable for applications requiring emulsification, conditioning, lubrication, or surface treatment:
LanisTech FA 15 is a lanolin fatty acid by-product obtained during the refining of wool grease for the production of pharmaceutical and cosmetic grades of lanolin anhydrous or lanolin alcohol.
