  • Applications

    Glycerol distearate (CAS 51063-97-9) is commonly used as an emollient and thickener in cosmetics and personal care formulations, also serving as a mild non-ionic surfactant and conditioning agent in such systems; in polymers and plastics processing it acts as a wax-like lubricant and processing aid to improve flow, slip, and demolding tendencies; in coatings and inks it is used as a slip/texture-modifying additive to influence gloss and finish; in household products and cleaning formulations it functions as a thickener and conditioning agent to improve texture and stability; and in industrial manufacturing it may serve as a processing aid, lubricant, or additive to help formulate and process plastic and rubber compounds.
