Wool wax alcohols consist of aliphatic monoalcohols and alkane 1,2 diols, cholesterol, triterpene alcohols, and small amounts of hydrocarbons and autoxidation products. The monoalcohols and the diols consist of normal, iso and anteiso series. The average composition of the wool wax alcohols is based on data which were published during the past 25 years.
