Where is Tritriacontanoic acid used?

• Personal care: waxy, film-forming character in solid sticks, balms and high-viscosity emollients
• Lubricants and metalworking: surface adhesion modifier
• Textile and leather processing: fiber lubricant and surface treatment agent that reduces friction and improves handle
• Paper manufacturing: surface sizing and hydrophobic coating formulations
• It improves boundary lubrication performance in high-load conditions.

Commercial specifications

• Purity commonly specified by GC assay
• Bulk and smaller research quantities
