  • Applications

    Aluminum Distearate (CAS 300-92-5) is primarily used as a thickener and rheology modifier in cosmetic and personal-care formulations, helping to build viscosity in oils, gels, and anhydrous systems. It also serves as a processing aid and stabilizer in industrial lubricants, greases, and wax-based formulations, improving texture and sag resistance. In coatings, inks, and polymer formulations, it acts as a rheology modifier and lubricating component to aid flow control during processing and end-use applications. Additionally, it is used as a thickening agent in some oil-based household products and other industrial formulations.
