Used as a lubricant additive and release agent in polymer processing, particularly in polyolefin manufacturing such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and other thermoplastics. It helps prevent sticking and agglomeration of particles during molding and extrusion by reducing surface friction, resulting in smoother product surfaces and easier processing.

Additionally, it functions as an anti-stick agent in injection molding, facilitating easy release of parts from molds with minimal force and reducing product damage.

In the paint and ink industry, it acts as a dispersant and anti-settling agent for pigments, ensuring color uniformity and stability.

It can also be used in coating formulations to enhance scratch resistance and provide suitable gloss. Its thermal stability makes it suitable for high-temperature applications.

Furthermore, it serves as a corrosion inhibitor in metalworking fluids and provides water repellency in coatings and waxes.
