Used as a high-temperature lubricant due to its layered structure similar to graphite, providing excellent slip properties even in extreme heat. Commonly found in aerospace and automotive applications where conventional lubricants fail.

Widely used in cosmetics, especially in powders and foundations, for its smooth texture, transparency, and oil-absorbing properties. Gives a silky feel without clogging pores.

Serves as an additive in polymers, ceramics, and metals to enhance thermal conductivity while maintaining electrical insulation. Ideal for electronic packaging, heat sinks, and insulating materials.

Applied in coatings for molds and metal forming processes because of its non-wetting behavior and resistance to molten metals, especially aluminum and lithium alloys.

Used in advanced ceramics for crucibles, nozzles, and refractory linings due to high thermal stability and chemical inertness.

Emerging use in nanotechnology, particularly hexagonal boron nitride nanotubes, for reinforcing composites and in protective barriers against diffusion of gases and moisture.
