Description

Decanamide is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid amide with the CAS registry number 2319-29-1. This versatile organic intermediate is valued for its role in synthesizing more complex chemical structures and as a functional additive in various industrial formulations. It is particularly relevant for manufacturers in the polymer, lubricant, and specialty chemical industries seeking to modify material properties or create novel compounds.

Application

• Polymer Additive: Acts as a slip agent, anti-blocking agent, or mold release agent in polyolefin films and plastic processing.
• Lubricant & Grease Component: Serves as a friction modifier or thickening agent in synthetic lubricants and high-performance greases.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: A key building block for the production of surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and other specialty amide derivatives.
• Surface Treatment Agent: Used in coatings and finishes to impart water repellency and improve surface smoothness.
• Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Intermediates: Employed in the synthesis of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and cosmetic emulsifiers.
