Description

N,N'-Ethylenebismyristamide is a high-purity diamide compound, also known as ethylene bis(myristamide). This specialty chemical serves as a highly effective slip agent, internal lubricant, and anti-blocking agent, valued for its ability to modify surface properties and reduce friction in polymer systems. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the plastics, masterbatch, and coatings industries seeking to enhance processing efficiency and final product performance.

Application

• As a primary or secondary slip and anti-blocking agent in polyolefin films (e.g., LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE).
• An internal lubricant and process aid for improving flow and mold release in engineering plastics and thermoplastic compounds.
• A surface modifier in masterbatch formulations to reduce coefficient of friction and prevent film layers from sticking together.
• An additive in synthetic fiber production to improve spinnability and fiber finish.
• Used in coatings and inks to enhance surface smoothness and gloss.
• An anti-tack agent in rubber and elastomer processing.
• Potential use as a nucleating agent or clarifier in specific polymer systems.
