  • Applications

    Nonacosan-13-ol (CAS number: 31849-23-7) is a high-molecular-weight fatty alcohol widely used as a waxy thickener, emollient, and structuring agent in cosmetics and personal care; it helps adjust texture and stability of creams, lotions, and hair-care formulations. It also serves as a processing aid or lubricant in polymer and plastic compounding, improving flow, slip, and compatibility with resin systems. In coatings and inks, it functions as a wax-type additive to modify gloss, impart mar resistance, and enhance finish; in household products, it appears as a wax blending component in polishes and surface cleaners to improve slip and tactile feel. Additionally, it is considered as a building block or intermediate for the synthesis of esters, specialty lubricants, and other waxy additives used in industrial manufacturing and formulation development.
