Description

n-Isopropyl-9-Octadecenamide is a specialized fatty acid amide derivative, also known by its CAS number 56630-50-3. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, valued for its unique surfactant and slip properties derived from its oleic acid backbone and isopropylamide group. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the polymer, lubricant, and personal care industries for applications requiring internal lubrication, surface modification, and viscosity regulation.

Application

• As a slip agent and internal lubricant in polymer processing (e.g., PVC, polyolefins) to improve surface finish and mold release.
• As a viscosity modifier and flow aid in industrial lubricants, greases, and metalworking fluids.
• As a conditioning agent and emollient in cosmetic and personal care formulations such as creams and lotions.
• As a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of more complex surfactants and specialty amides.
• As an anti-blocking agent in plastic films to prevent adhesion between layers.
• As a processing aid in rubber compounding to enhance dispersion of fillers and reduce sticking.
• In the formulation of release coatings and anti-fogging agents for various industrial surfaces.
• As a corrosion inhibitor component in protective coatings and fluids.
