Description

N,N'-(Methylenedicyclohexane-1,4-Diyl)Distearamide is a high-performance specialty amide wax derived from stearic acid and a cycloaliphatic diamine. This compound is valued for its excellent thermal stability and lubricating properties, making it a key functional additive in demanding polymer processing and coating applications. It is primarily utilized by formulators in the plastics, rubber, and specialty lubricant industries seeking to enhance product performance and processing efficiency.

Application

• Polymer Processing Aid: Acts as an internal and external lubricant and mold release agent for engineering plastics (e.g., PVC, polyolefins, engineering resins) to reduce friction and improve flow.
• Rubber Industry: Used as a processing aid and anti-tack agent in rubber compounding to prevent sticking during mixing, calendering, and extrusion.
• Hot-Melt Adhesives & Coatings: Functions as a rheology modifier and matting agent to control viscosity, surface texture, and gloss in various coating systems.
• Ink & Toner Formulations: Serves as a charge control agent and dispersant to improve particle flow and image quality in electrophotographic toners and specialty inks.
• Cable & Wire Compounds: Provides excellent lubrication and surface smoothness in the extrusion of insulating and jacketing materials.
• Masterbatch Production: A key component in additive masterbatches for consistent dispersion of pigments and other functional additives in polymers.
