  • Applications

    Stearyl Erucate (CAS 86601-84-5) is a high‑molecular‑weight wax ester commonly used as an emollient and conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care products such as creams, lotions, lip balms, and hair care formulations, providing skin and hair conditioning and a smooth feel. In polymers and plastics, it serves as a lubricious processing aid and slip modifier to improve processing, mold release, and texture of formulations and products. As a wax ester additive, it is also used in coatings and inks to enhance slip, gloss, and water resistance properties. In household products and polish formulations, it can contribute to surface conditioning and protective film formation. It may also act as a softening or slip modifier in adhesive formulations to facilitate processing and adhesion performance, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
