• Industrial lubricants: solid lubricant additive where high-melting wax esters are needed
• Coatings and sealants: surface modifier and slip agent
• Polymer and plastics compounding: internal or external lubricant that aids processing
• It reduces melt adhesion during extrusion and improves material flow.
