Used as a slip agent and anti-blocking additive in plastic films, particularly in polyethylene and polypropylene packaging. It helps prevent layers of film from sticking together, ensuring smooth processing and handling. Also functions as a lubricant in polymer processing, reducing friction during extrusion and improving production efficiency. Additionally, it can act as a release agent in molding operations. Its long hydrocarbon chain provides good compatibility with non-polar polymer matrices, enhancing dispersion and performance.
