Product Application

3.1 Rubber & Tire Industry (Largest Consumer Segment)

Vulcanization Activator:​ Used as a primary alternative or co-agent to stearic acid. It significantly reduces compound viscosity, improves mixing efficiency, accelerates cure speed, and enhances adhesion between rubber and reinforcing materials (e.g., steel cord, fabric).

Mold Release Agent:​ Applied in tire and inner tube manufacturing. When sprayed on molds, it prevents rubber adhesion, extends mold life, and ensures a smooth surface finish on finished goods.

Plasticizer:​ Improves processing flow and imparts excellent elasticity and tensile strength to the final rubber product.

3.2 Plastics & Polymer Processing

PVC Lubricant:​ One of the most important internal and external lubricants for PVC. It effectively reduces melt viscosity, prevents melt fracture, and improves surface gloss in pipes, profiles, sheets, and injection-molded parts.

Dispersing Agent:​ Used in the production of color masterbatches and filler masterbatches to promote uniform dispersion of pigments and fillers within the polymer resin.

Precursor for Stabilizers:​ Reacted with metal oxides to produce metallic soap stabilizers (e.g., Calcium Stearate/Zinc Stearate) for plastics.

3.3 Cosmetics & Personal Care

Emulsifier & Thickener:​ A classic oil-phase ingredient for cold creams, lotions, and hair waxes. It raises the melting point of emulsions, providing a desirable "solid feel" and structural stability.

Skin Conditioning Agent:​ Forms a hydrophobic barrier on the skin surface, reducing Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) and providing moisturizing benefits.

Pearlescent Agent:​ Utilized for its crystallization properties to create a fine pearly luster in shampoos and shower gels.

3.4 Food Industry

Food Emulsifier Precursor:​ Used to synthesize mono- and diglycerides (E471), which are essential emulsifiers in ice cream, bread, chocolate, and non-dairy creamers for improving texture and aeration.

Bakery Applications:​ Added to flour to retard starch retrogradation (staling), keeping baked goods soft and extending shelf life.

3.5 Metalworking & Industrial Auxiliaries

Rust Inhibitor:​ A key component in the formulation of rust-preventive oils and greases, forming a dense adsorbed film on metal surfaces to block moisture and oxygen.

Textile Auxiliaries:​ Used as a winding oil and smoothing agent for synthetic fibers (Nylon, Polyester) to reduce friction and static electricity during processing.
