Used as a slip additive in plastic films, especially polyethylene, to reduce surface friction and prevent sticking during processing and handling. Improves film processing efficiency and enhances surface smoothness. Commonly found in packaging materials, including food packaging, where it helps with opening and closing of bags. Also acts as an anti-blocking agent, preventing layers of film from adhering to each other. Additionally used in mold release applications and as a dispersing agent in pigments and fillers.
