melting point 100° to 110° F. Wikipedia: Lanolin is used as a primary lubricating component in aerosol-based brass lubricants in the ammunition reloading process. Mixed warm 1:12 with highly concentrated ethanol (usually 99%), the ethanol acts as a carrier which evaporates quickly after application, leaving a fine film of lanolin behind to prevent brass seizing in resizing dies. This same solution can be used on rocket coring spindles before casting the propellant. Lanolin is also the main ingredient in bullet and bore lubes; when mixed with ingredients such as neatsfoot oil, beeswax and glycerol, is used in various leather treatments, for example in some saddle soaps and in leather care products; Baseball players often use it to soften and break in their baseball gloves (shaving cream with lanolin is popularly used for this); Lanolin is used commercially in many industrial products ranging from rustproof coatings to lubricants. Some sailors use lanolin to create slippery surfaces on their propellers and stern gear to which barnacles cannot adhere. Commercial products (e.g. Lanocote) containing up to 85% lanolin are used to prevent corrosion in marine fasteners, especially when two different metals are in contact with each other and saltwater. The water-repellnt properties make it valuable in many applications as a lubricant grease where corrosion would otherwise be a problem.
