Description

(Z)-n-Octadecyl-9-Octadecenamide is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid amide derivative with a defined cis (Z) configuration. This compound is valued for its excellent slip, anti-blocking, and lubricating properties, making it a versatile performance additive. It is primarily used by formulators in the plastics, coatings, and personal care industries to enhance product processing and final surface characteristics.

Application

• As a highly effective internal and external lubricant and slip agent in polyolefin films (e.g., LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE) to reduce friction and improve machinability.
• Functioning as an anti-blocking agent in plastic films to prevent layers from sticking together during storage and transport.
• Utilized as a mold release agent and processing aid in the manufacture of engineered plastics and rubber compounds.
• Acting as a key ingredient in industrial coatings and inks to improve surface smoothness, gloss, and scratch resistance.
• Serving as a texturizing and conditioning agent in cosmetic and personal care formulations such as creams, lotions, and lipsticks.
• Used as a waterproofing agent and fiber lubricant in textile treatments and fiber production.
• Employed as a corrosion inhibitor and friction modifier in specialty grease and lubricant formulations.
• Acting as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex surfactants and specialty chemicals.
