  • Applications

    15-Methylnonacosane (CAS 65820-60-2) is a high-molecular-weight, branched hydrocarbon commonly encountered as a component of wax blends. It may be used as a texture- and slip-enhancing constituent in cosmetics and personal care formulations; as a waxy additive to improve processing, slip, and gloss in coatings and inks; as a processing aid and potential mold-release agent in polymer and plastics manufacturing; and as part of industrial wax formulations for lubrication and molding applications.
