Description

Octadecanamide, N,n-1,2-Ethanediylbis12-Hydroxy-, Mixt. With Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a high-performance, non-ionic surfactant and slip agent derived from stearic acid and castor oil. This compound matters for its dual functionality, providing excellent lubricity and anti-blocking properties while also acting as a stable emulsifier and viscosity modifier. Industrial manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and personal care sectors need it to enhance product processability, surface finish, and final performance. Its unique blend offers a reliable solution for improving material flow and reducing surface friction.

Application

• Plastics & Polymer Processing: Acts as an internal and external lubricant and anti-blocking agent in polyolefin films (LDPE, HDPE, PP), PVC, and engineering plastics to improve mold release and surface gloss.
• Coatings & Inks: Functions as a slip and anti-settling agent to enhance surface smoothness, prevent pigment hard settling, and improve scratch resistance in solvent-based and powder coatings.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a thickener, opacifier, and emollient in creams, lotions, and stick formulations like deodorants, providing a smooth skin feel and stable emulsion.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Serves as a processing aid and rheology modifier to control viscosity, aid in dispersion, and reduce tackiness during application.
• Textile & Fiber Industry: Employed as a spin finish and lubricant for synthetic fibers to reduce friction during high-speed processing and improve yarn quality.
• Metalworking & Lubricants: Utilized as a component in drawing compounds, cutting fluids, and grease formulations to provide lubrication and corrosion protection.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and 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 each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
