  • Applications

    Ethylene glycol dipalmitate is a high-molecular-weight wax ester used primarily in cosmetics and personal care as a skin-conditioning emollient and texturing/thickening agent in creams, lotions, and color cosmetics. It also serves as a lubricating processing aid and plasticizer in polymer and wax formulations, improving slip, processability, and conditioning of the finished product. In coatings and inks, it acts as a wax-like additive to enhance gloss, slip, and water resistance. In industrial manufacturing, it is employed as a lubricant or conditioning component in specialty formulations, including metalworking fluids and polymer processing aids.
