  • Applications

    Arachidyl Erucate is a wax ester emollient typically used in cosmetics and personal care formulations to impart slip, conditioning, and an occlusive feel on skin and hair. It also serves as a waxy thickener and texture enhancer in creams, balms, and stick products. In coatings, inks, and adhesives, it can function as a slip modifier and processing aid, improving glide and handling. It is also used as a softening agent or plasticizer in certain polymer formulations, and can act as a wax component in household products such as cleaning and conditioning formulations. Its use is typically formulation dependent and subject to local regulations and limits.
