Tissue

Balm lotions incorporated onto tissues can provide functional benefits to consumers. Lanolin has the ability to repair and replenish skin's lipid barrier. In non woven fabrics, Medilan can provide fiber softening and lubricity that lowers friction and hence the potential for reddening caused when fibers rub against skin. At the same time, Medilan is smoothed onto the skin to provide barrier healing properties to consumers.

Function

Fiber/Surface Protection

Fabric Care

Fiber damage on clothes can lead to increased wear and tear shortening the life of a garment. Many conditioning agents boost the moisture content of fibers but non can fully replenish the lost oils in the same way as Croda lanolin products. For wool, delicate and hand wash type formulations, inclusion of Solan E50 or Fluilan to a formulation at low levels can improve the condition of fibers by replacing these natural oils. Improvements in lubricity also mean that the potential for wear and tear is minimized as the friction and static charge that cause "bobbling" is reduced. The ability for Solan E50 to act as a counter irritant and mildness additive also helps to reduce the irritancy properties in hand laundry products. Solan E50 and Fluilan can be added to detergent systems or conditioners.

Fibre Finish

In hygiene products such as diapers, Medilan can be incorporated into the finish allowing the benefits of barrier repair and skin softening to be imparted on skin in contact with the fiber. This provides confidence and the comfort in wear that consumers require for such products. For more information on the use of Medilan in this application, please ask your sales representative for brochure "Fiber finish – hygiene".

Household Wipes

Applications within the household can be very demanding and require significant surfactant loading on wipes. Increased skin contact with such wipes can therefore prolong contact and heighten irritation. This presents a greater risk of skin damage that can be lessened with the addition of Solan E50 to a wipe formulation. Solan E50 can reduce irritancy and create a milder formulation minimizing this risk of damage and counteracting the potential for skin irritation.

Leather and Shoe

Lanolin has a long standing reputation for use in the preparation and processing of leather as superfatting, emulsifying and softening additives. This is to ensure that leather has the most luxurious feel possible. Within the household sector, Corona and Fluilan can be used in emulsion systems to treat and care for leather and shoes. Replenishment of natural oils that are lost in use ensures that suppleness and softness of leather is retained. Acylan is a more lipophilic product than standard lanolin due to acetylation of the hydroxyl groups. This lipophilicty gives Acylan the ability to form water repellent films to protect leather from water and liquid splash. Due to the way Acylan is processed the emulsification properties are completely removed but the benefits of lubricity, feel and superfatting are retained. This is beneficial for mineral oil based formulations and highly pigmented shoe polishes.
