Description

(Z)-n-Octadec-9-Enylhexadecan-1-Amide is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid amide derivative with a defined cis-olefinic configuration. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, valued for its unique amphiphilic properties derived from its hydrocarbon chain structure. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, lubricant, and specialty polymer industries seeking to modify surface characteristics and enhance product performance.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as an opacifier, viscosity modifier, and conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Lubricant & Grease Additives: Functions as a friction modifier, anti-wear agent, and thickener in synthetic and industrial lubricants.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Used as a slip agent, internal lubricant, and mold release agent in plastics processing.
• Surface Coatings: Imparts water repellency, leveling, and anti-blocking properties to paints and coatings.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Serves as a softener and water-repellent finish for synthetic and natural fibers.
• Chemical Synthesis: A key intermediate for synthesizing more complex surfactants, liquid crystals, and pharmaceutical agents.
