  • Applications

    Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate (CAS 115-83-3) is a waxy, high-molecular-weight fatty acid ester that is commonly used in cosmetics/personal care as a thickener, texture enhancer and emollient in creams, lotions and makeup; it also serves as a processing aid and slip lubricant in polymer formulations, helping control flow and finish. In coatings and inks it functions as a waxy rheology modifier and lubricating additive; in household products and cleaners it can act as a thickener or conditioning agent to improve texture and spreadability; in industrial manufacturing it may be used as a plasticizer or processing aid in specialty polymers.
