Used as a high-temperature lubricant due to its layered structure similar to graphite, providing excellent lubricity in environments where oils would degrade. Commonly found in ceramics and refractories for its thermal stability and resistance to thermal shock. Employed in electronic applications as an insulating material with high thermal conductivity, especially in heat sinks and thermal interface materials. Utilized in cosmetics for its smooth feel and ability to provide a matte finish in powders and foundations. Also used as an additive in polymers and coatings to improve thermal conductivity and reduce friction. In industrial settings, it serves as a release agent and mold coating for metal casting and glass forming processes.
