WOOL GREASE FATTY ACID - DATA SHEET

Wool Grease Fatty Acids are produced from the process of Wool Grease being refined to produce Lanolin. The Fatty Acid fraction being a natural, renewable raw material which has its origin from Wool Grease recovered from the aqueous scouring of greasy wool.  The Fatty Acid fraction is therefore a highly complex mixture of semi-refined Wool Grease and Fatty Acids.  

Chemically it is a wax and a complex mixture of esters, di-esters and hydroxyl esters of lanolin alcohols with high molecular weight lanolin acids.

  Wool Grease Fatty Acids are a versatile raw material for use in rust preventatives, greases, sheep markings, lubricants, adhesives, cutting fluids, dewatering chemicals, tanning processing etc.
