Description

Oleamide (CAS NO 301-02-0) is a primary fatty acid amide derived from oleic acid, serving as a high-performance slip and anti-blocking agent. Its primary value lies in its ability to migrate to the surface of polymer films, significantly reducing coefficient of friction and preventing adhesion between layers. This makes it an essential additive for manufacturers seeking to improve processing efficiency and product quality in plastics and packaging. Key industries that rely on this compound include polymer production, masterbatch formulation, and the manufacturing of films and fibers.

Application

• Primary slip and anti-blocking agent for polyolefin films (LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP).
• Internal lubricant and mold release agent for engineering plastics and injection molding compounds.
• Key component in masterbatch formulations for consistent additive dispersion.
• Surface modifier to enhance the feel and handling properties of synthetic fibers and filaments.
• Additive in ink and coating formulations to improve surface slip and scratch resistance.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of other specialty chemicals, such as surfactants and corrosion inhibitors.
• Used in the production of crayons and wax blends to modify hardness and texture.
