  • Applications

    Hexatetracontane (CAS 7098-24-0) is a very high molecular weight, nonpolar alkane commonly used as a waxy component and processing aid in several industries. In coatings and inks, it acts as a waxy additive to improve slip, gloss, and viscosity control. In cosmetics and personal care, it serves as a conditioning wax or thickener in stick formulations and other bar products, contributing to texture and smear resistance. In polymers and plastics, it can function as a processing aid or slip agent to reduce friction during extrusion or molding. In industrial manufacturing and lubricants, it is used as a high molecular weight base oil fraction or as part of specialty wax blends for high temperature stability. In household products and polishes, it can provide a nonvolatile waxy component that helps impart shine and a protective film. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
