  • Applications

    Tetratetracontane (CAS 7098-22-8) is a high-molecular-weight, long-chain alkane commonly used as a waxy, paraffin-like component in cosmetics and personal care products where it can act as a thickener and texture enhancer. In industrial manufacturing it serves as a processing aid and lubricious wax additive, aiding slip and handling of polymer substrates and manufacturing equipment. It is used as a wax modifier in coatings and inks to improve gloss, smoothness, and release characteristics. In household and polishing formulations, it contributes to wax-based finishes and helps control rheology in maintenance products. It may also be evaluated as a component in specialty lubricants or as a processing aid in polymer/plastics processing, depending on formulation needs and local regulations.
