Description

Docosanamide is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid amide, also known as behenamide, with the CAS number 3061-75-4. This compound serves as a highly effective slip and anti-block agent, crucial for improving the surface properties and processability of polymer films and moldings. It is an essential additive for manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and personal care industries seeking to enhance product performance and quality.

Application

• Plastics & Polymer Processing: Primary use as a slip and anti-blocking agent in polyolefin films (LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP) to reduce surface friction and prevent film layers from sticking together.
• Coatings & Inks: Functions as a surface modifier and anti-tack agent to improve gloss, scratch resistance, and water repellency in various coating formulations.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as an opacifying agent, viscosity modifier, and emulsion stabilizer in creams, lotions, and makeup products.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Used as a processing aid and release agent to improve flow properties and prevent adhesion to processing equipment.
• Rubber Industry: Employed as an internal and external lubricant and mold release agent to facilitate processing and demolding.
• Textile & Fiber Manufacturing: Applied as a softening agent and lubricant for synthetic fibers to improve handle and reduce breakage during spinning.

Quality Control

Our Docosanamide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, melting point, color, and acid/amine values. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing all test results. Our production adheres to ISO 9001 standards, and the product is compliant with major global regulatory frameworks including REACH.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
