Used as a slip and anti-blocking agent in plastic films, particularly in polyethylene and polypropylene packaging. It helps prevent layers of film from sticking together and improves processing by reducing friction during manufacturing. Also functions as a release agent in molding processes. Commonly found in extrusion coatings, laminating films, and adhesive tapes. Provides thermal stability at high processing temperatures.

Used in cosmetics as a viscosity controller and emollient in creams and lotions.

Acts as a dispersing agent in industrial lubricants and coatings.
