Composition and Description

LIQUID LANOLIN/ IPP contains liquid lanolin esters as its main component. The physical properties are adjusted by addition of liquid fatty alcohols and esters of long chain fatty acids. LIQUID LANOLIN/ IPP is a clear, pale yellow liquid with low viscosity and a faint characteristic odour.

Features

LIQUID LANOLIN/ IPP offers a possibility to use the natural lanolin esters in the form of a low-viscosity liquid with a very low cloud point and melting temperature. LIQUID LANOLIN/ IPP absorbs quickly through the skin. It is a good emollient and leaves no greasy feeling on the skin. The solubility in aerosol propellants is excellent and tends not to block the nozzles of the aerosol cans, even at low temperatures.

Applications

The broad solubility and compatibility range of LIQUID LANOLIN/ IPP makes the product extremely suitable for fast and easy incorporation as a moisture agent in bath oils, skin lotions, sunscreen oils, etc. Especially for the latter application the hydrophobic properties of the material are beneficial. LIQUID LANOLIN/ IPP is also a suitable plasticiser for film-forming resin in hair sprays and as an additive in nail varnish removers, in order to prevent chapping of the nails.

Dermatology

All components of LIQUID LANOLIN/ IPP are classified as dermatologically safe.

Processing

LIQUID LANOLIN/ IPP is easy to handle and dissolves at room temperature in other oils without heating. It can tolerate temperatures up to 80 °C during the manufacturing process. However, high temperatures over an extended period of time should be avoided. LIQUID LANOLIN/ IPP should be stored in a cool, dry place in closed containers.

Solubility at room temperature

Water: none; acetone: soluble; ethanol, anhydrous: not soluble; isopropanol anhydrous: not soluble; mineral oil: soluble; isopropyl myristate: soluble
