DEFINITION
A mixture of higher aliphatic alcohols, hydrocarbons, and Table 2
sterols is obtained from the direct high-pressure, Relative
high-temperature hydrogenation of lanolin. During the Retention
hydrogenation process, the esters and acids present are Component Time
reduced to the corresponding alcohols. Alcoholic derivatives Cetyl alcohol 1.00
may be further reduced to hydrocarbons. It may contain
