  • Applications

    1-Tricosanol (CAS 3133-01-5) is a long-chain fatty alcohol used as a waxy component and processing aid in several industries. In cosmetics and personal care, it acts as an emollient and thickener, helping to impart hardness, slip, and texture to creams, lotions, and solid sticks. In polymers and coatings, it functions as a processing aid and lubricant during extrusion or molding, and may be used as a precursor to ester-based plasticizers or other specialty chemicals. It also serves as a wax-like additive in coatings, inks, and polishing formulations to modify rheology, gloss, and water resistance. As an intermediate, it can be used to synthesize esters and derivatives for lubricants, plastics, and related applications. Subject to formulation limits and local regulations.
