  • Applications

    1-Nonacosanol (CAS 6624-76-6) is a long-chain fatty alcohol used as a waxy ingredient and processing aid across several industries. In cosmetics and personal care, it acts as an emollient and thickener. In coatings, inks, and polishes, it is added as a wax component to improve gloss and slip. In polymers and plastics, it serves as a lubricant and processing aid. In industrial formulations, it can be a component of polishing and cleaning products. It may also function as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of esters and specialty surfactants.
