  • Applications

    Glyceryl Monobehenate (CAS 30233-64-8) is a waxy, lipid-like ester used primarily in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient, thickener, and structuring agent for creams, lotions, and solid lip products; it can also function as a conditioning component and help stabilize emulsions. It serves as a processing aid and lubricant in polymer and plastics formulations, acting as a wax-like additive to improve workability and film formation. In coatings, inks, and adhesives, it behaves as a rheology modifier and wax extender, contributing to gloss, slip, and stability. In household formulations, it may act as a conditioning emulsifier or thickener in cleaners and fabric-care products. It may also serve as a fragrance carrier or component in fragrance-containing systems.
