Description

Oleamide is a primary fatty acid amide derived from oleic acid, serving as a high-performance slip and anti-blocking agent for polyolefin films. Its value lies in its ability to migrate to the polymer surface, reducing coefficient of friction and preventing film layers from sticking together without compromising clarity. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, packaging, and synthetic fiber industries seeking to improve processing efficiency and product quality.

Application

• Primary slip and anti-blocking agent in polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) films for packaging.
• Internal lubricant and process aid to improve flow and reduce torque during polymer extrusion and molding.
• Key component in ink and coating formulations to enhance surface smoothness and gloss.
• Used as a defoamer and release agent in various industrial applications.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of other specialty chemicals, such as surfactants and corrosion inhibitors.
• Modifier for synthetic fibers to improve anti-static properties and handling.
