Description

Dodecanamide CAS NO 1120-16-7 is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid amide derived from lauric acid, serving as a versatile intermediate and functional additive in advanced manufacturing. Its unique molecular structure provides excellent slip, anti-blocking, and lubricating properties, making it a critical component for enhancing product performance and process efficiency. This compound is essential for industries focused on polymer production, specialty coatings, and the formulation of high-performance chemical specialties.

Application

• Polymer Additive: Acts as a highly effective slip and anti-blocking agent in polyolefin films (e.g., LDPE, LLDPE) to improve handling and surface quality.
• Synthetic Intermediate: A key building block for the synthesis of more complex surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and specialty chemicals.
• Lubricant & Mold Release Agent: Used in plastic and rubber processing to reduce friction, prevent sticking, and facilitate mold release.
• Textile & Fiber Industry: Imparts softness and acts as a spin finish lubricant for synthetic fibers like nylon and polyester.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Functions as an opacifying agent, viscosity modifier, and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and makeup formulations.
• Ink & Coating Additive: Enhances surface smoothness, gloss, and scratch resistance in various coating systems.
