It is an important ingredient in shoe polish, and can be used in making homemade incense cones. It is also used as a lickable adhesive, for example on postage stamps, envelopes, and cigarette papers.

This treatment also helps to stop oxidation of aluminium printing plates in the interval between processing of the plate and its use on a printing press.
