DESCRIPTION:                            FANCOL® WGFA is a mixture of organic acids obtained from the hydrolysis of lanolin.


APPLICATIONS:  FANCOL® WGFA is characterized by a high softening point, low iodine value and a considerable percentage of hydroxy acids.  Because they possess emulsifying power and high adhesion to various surfaces as well as the excellent oil binding properties of their metal soaps, FANCOL® WGFA is widely used in lubricating greases. It also has found a home in solid and liquid polishing compositions, emulsion polishes and anti-corrosion compounds.
