  • Applications

    Glycol Dibehenate (CAS 79416-55-0) is a high‑molecular‑weight, waxy diester of behenic acid with a glycol that is used primarily as a lubricating wax additive in formulated products. In cosmetics and personal care, it acts as an emollient and texture enhancer in creams and lotions. In polymers and plastics, it serves as a processing aid and slip agent to improve processing efficiency and surface performance. In coatings and inks, it provides wax‑like lubrication and anti‑block properties to enhance handling and finish. In industrial manufacturing, it is employed as a lubricant additive for specialty lubricants and metalworking fluids. Its use is typically formulation‑dependent and subject to local regulations.
