Description

Dodecanamide is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid amide with the CAS registry number 112-01-6. This versatile organic intermediate is valued for its role as a slip agent, lubricant, and chemical building block in polymer and specialty chemical manufacturing. It is essential for industries seeking to improve material surface properties, reduce friction, and synthesize complex organic molecules.

Application

• Primary use as an internal and external slip and anti-blocking agent in polyolefin films (e.g., LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE).
• Acts as a lubricant and mold release agent in the processing of engineering plastics and synthetic fibers.
• Serves as a key chemical intermediate for the synthesis of surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and other specialty amides.
• Used in the formulation of inks, coatings, and adhesives to enhance surface smoothness and gloss.
• Functions as a water repellent and fiber processing aid in the textile industry.
• Employed as a foam control agent and viscosity modifier in various industrial processes.
