- Cosmetic Industry: It is widely used in cosmetic products such as skin creams, lotions, hair conditioners, and shampoos1. It functions as an emollient, helping to soften the skin and hair1. It also acts as a viscosity - increasing agent, controlling the consistency of cosmetic formulations8. Additionally, it serves as a solvent and carrier, facilitating the dissolution and even distribution of other ingredients1.
- Textile Industry: It is used for the softening and lubrication of textile fabrics1. It can improve the hand feel of fabrics, making them smoother and more comfortable to the touch.
- Paper Industry: It is involved in the production of carbon paper, stencil paper, and printing ink1. It helps to improve the printing quality and the durability of the paper.
- Chemical Industry: It is an important raw material for organic synthesis1. It can be used to prepare sulfuric ester derivatives, which are widely used in detergents and wetting agents1. It also serves as a precursor for the synthesis of other organic compounds, such as surfactants, oil additives, and cold - resistant plasticizers3.
- Metalworking Industry: It is utilized as a cutting lubricant1. It can reduce friction and heat during metal cutting, improving the efficiency and quality of the processing, and also prolonging the service life of cutting tools.
- Pharmaceutical Industry: It is mainly used in topical pharmaceutical formulations and transdermal delivery formulations1. It can enhance the permeability of drugs through the skin and improve the efficacy of drugs. It has also been used in the development of biodegradable injectable thermoplastic oligomers, and in aerosol formulations of insulin and albuterol1.
