Ethoxylated lanolin CAS 61790-81-6；8039-09-6

As the EO mole numbers increases, so does the hydrophilicity when refined lanolin and ethylene oxide are added. When the EO mole number is increased to 70-75mols, the product becomes more water-soluble.

Description of Ethoxylated lanolin  : 

Chemical properties: Ethoxylated lanolin is obtained by introducing ethoxy groups into lanolin. These ethoxy groups make ethoxylated lanolin have high hydrophilic and emulsifying properties.

Physical properties: Ethoxylated lanolin is a pale yellow to yellow fine solid paste with low viscosity and high wettability. In liquid form, it has good rheology and permeability and can quickly penetrate the skin and hair.

Stability: After ethoxylated lanolin is treated with ethoxylation, it has good chemical stability and oxidation resistance and does not easily deteriorate and change color. In addition, it also has good heat and cold resistance and can maintain stability over a wide range of temperatures.

Biocompatibility: ethoxylated lanolin has good biocompatibility, no irritation to the skin and eyes, and it is not easy to cause allergic reactions. It also has certain antibacterial properties, can inhibit the growth of bacteria and mold, and has a certain protective effect on skin health.

Moisturizing: Ethoxylated lanolin has strong moisturizing properties, effectively locking in water and preventing skin moisture loss. It can also form a protective film on the skin to prevent external irritation and damage to the skin.

Safety: Ethoxylated lanolin is a safe and effective ingredient widely used in cosmetics and skincare products. However, caution is still needed when using products containing ethoxylated lanolin for some individuals, especially those with allergies. Skin tests should be carried out before use; if allergic reactions occur, use should be stopped immediately.

Applications of Ethoxylated lanolin  :

Cosmetics Industry:

Skin care products: Ethoxylated lanolin is one of the important ingredients in skin care products, especially in creams, lotions, seruses and other products. It provides a long-lasting moisturizing effect and helps the skin stay hydrated and elastic. 

Makeup: In makeup products, such as lipstick, eyeshadow, foundation, etc., ethoxylated lanolin can be used as a softening agent and moisturizer, making makeup easier to apply while increasing the durability and comfort of the product.

Hair Care Products:

Shampoos and conditioners: The moisturizing and hydrating properties of ethoxylated lanolin make it an ideal ingredient in shampoos and conditioners. It can increase the gloss of the hair, reduce static electricity, and make hair easier to comb.

Hair Mask and Oil: For damaged or dry hair, ethoxylated lanolin can be used as the main ingredient in a deep nourishing hair mask or oil to help repair and protect hair.

Personal Care Products:

Shower gels and body lotions: Ethoxylated lanolin's moisturizing properties make it an important ingredient in shower gels and body lotions to provide a long-lasting moisturizing effect on the skin.

Hand and foot care: In products such as hand and foot creams and nail creams, ethoxylated lanolin can provide deep nourishment and help repair dry, cracked skin.

Medical and skin care drugs: In some medical-grade skin care drugs, ethoxylated lanolin can be used as a base oil or carrier to help the drug penetrate the skin and improve the therapeutic effect. At the same time, its antibacterial properties also help protect the skin from infection.

Baby care products: Due to the gentle and moisturizing properties of ethoxylated lanolin, it is often used in baby skin care products, such as baby lotion, hip cream, etc., to provide necessary protection for babies' delicate skin.

Industrial applications: In addition to the above personal care and cosmetic applications, ethoxylated lanolin also has certain applications in the industrial field. For example, it can be used as a lubricant for certain mechanical parts or for the surface treatment of certain specific materials to increase their lubricity and water resistance.

Production Method of Ethoxylated lanolin  :

Chemical synthesis method:

Chemical synthesis is one of the main methods for producing ethoxylated lanolin. The method ethoxylates the hydroxyl group in lanolin through a chemical reaction to increase its hydrophilic and emulsifying properties. The following are the basic steps of chemical synthesis:

Raw material preparation: High-quality lanolin is selected as raw material and pre-treated to remove impurities and moisture.

Selection of reaction solvent: Select the appropriate reaction solvent to ensure the reaction's smooth progress and the product's stability. Common reaction solvents are fatty alcohols, fatty acids and so on.

Selection of catalyst: Select the appropriate catalyst, such as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, etc., to promote the ethoxylation reaction.

Ethoxylation reaction: In the presence of a reaction solvent and catalyst, lanolin reacts with ethylene oxide to produce ethoxylated lanolin. Control reaction temperature, pressure and time to ensure product quality.

Post-treatment: After the end of the reaction, the product is post-treated, such as water washing, neutralization, decolorization, drying, etc., to improve the purity and quality of the product.

Packaging and storage: The final product is packaged, and the appropriate storage conditions are selected to ensure the stability of the product and extend the shelf life.

Physical mixing method:

The physical mixing method mixes the prepared ethoxylated lanolin with other fats or ingredients to achieve the desired properties and effects. This method is simple and does not require complex chemical reactions and post-processing steps. However, to obtain the ideal product properties, it is necessary to select the appropriate mixing ratio and mixing technology to ensure the components' uniform mixing and stable properties.
