Lanolin Wax
Description
Lanolin Wax (CAS 68201-49-0), also known commercially as lanolin wax, is the solid wax fraction separated from crude wool grease through solvent fractionation or chilling processes.
It functions as an emollient, emulsifier, and lubricant across personal care, pharmaceutical, and industrial manufacturing. In cosmetics, it anchors water-in-oil emulsions in lip balms and stick formulations.
It is used in heavy moisturizing creams, providing a dense, occlusive skin feel without added synthetic emulsifiers. Pharmaceutical ointment bases rely on it to absorb aqueous phases and control active ingredients.
Textile and leather processors apply it as a fiber lubricant and conditioning agent during spinning, finishing, and leather softening operations. It is essential for high-quality material processing.
In adhesives and sealants, it acts as a rheology modifier and tackifier component, improving application consistency and substrate adhesion. This ensures a reliable bond in various industrial settings.
Lanolin Wax is supplied as a pale yellow to amber solid, typically in flake, pastille, or block form. Standard grades include cosmetic and pharmaceutical-grade material for global distribution.
The material meets USP, BP, and Ph. Eur. specifications, as well as technical-grade material for industrial applications. This ensures compliance with international safety and quality protocols.
Packaging ranges from fiber drums to bulk containers depending on volume requirements. Our logistics network ensures timely delivery of high-purity wax fractions to manufacturing facilities worldwide.
