Widely used in high-temperature applications due to its excellent thermal stability and resistance to thermal shock. Commonly found in crucibles, refractory linings, and molds for molten metals because it does not react with most materials even at elevated temperatures.

Used as a lubricant in applications where graphite cannot be used, especially in environments with high oxidation or where electrical insulation is required. Its layered structure provides low friction similar to graphite but with better performance in air at high temperatures.

Employed in cosmetics and personal care products as a texturizing agent that provides a smooth, silky feel. It is often used in foundations, powders, and eye shadows for its ability to improve spreadability and provide a matte finish.

Used in electronics as an electrically insulating but thermally conductive filler in thermal interface materials, adhesives, and encapsulants. Helps dissipate heat in electronic devices without causing electrical shorting.

Found in advanced composites and coatings where wear resistance, thermal management, and chemical inertness are critical. Also used in some abrasive applications and as a release agent in manufacturing processes.
