  • Applications

    Tridecyl Behenate (CAS 42233-08-9) is a high-molecular-weight fatty ester widely used as an emollient and slip agent in cosmetics and personal care, delivering a silky, non-greasy feel in creams, lotions, color cosmetics, lip products, and hair-care formulations. It can function as a texture modifier and thickener in emulsions, gels, and stick formulations. In industrial manufacturing, it serves as a processing aid and lubricant in plastics and coatings, improving flow, film formation, and surface slip. It may also act as a slip additive in adhesives and sealants where a waxy ester is advantageous.
