Description

Linoleamide is a high-purity fatty acid amide derived from linoleic acid, serving as a versatile intermediate and functional additive. Its unique chemical structure provides excellent slip, anti-blocking, and lubricating properties, making it a valuable component in polymer processing and surface modification. This product is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and personal care industries seeking to enhance product performance and processing efficiency.

Application

• As a slip and anti-blocking agent in polyolefin films (e.g., LDPE, LLDPE) to improve handling and surface characteristics.
• Functioning as an internal or external lubricant and processing aid for various polymers to reduce melt viscosity and prevent equipment sticking.
• Acting as a key intermediate in organic synthesis for the production of surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and other specialty chemicals.
• Utilized as a textile finishing agent to impart softness and water repellency to fibers and fabrics.
• Employed in the formulation of inks and coatings to enhance flow, leveling, and surface gloss.
• Serving as a conditioning agent in hair care and skincare formulations for its emollient properties.
• Potential use as a foam stabilizer and viscosity modifier in industrial and cosmetic applications.

Quality Control

Our Linoleamide is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is tested against rigorous internal specifications, which typically include parameters for identity, assay, color, and moisture content. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

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