Description

Amides, Tallow, Hydrogenated is a high-purity, fully saturated fatty amide derived from hydrogenated tallow. This compound serves as a versatile and effective non-ionic surfactant, emulsifier, and slip agent, valued for its stability and lubricating properties. It is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, personal care, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking to enhance product performance and processing characteristics.

Application

• Plastics & Polymer Processing: Acts as an internal and external lubricant, slip agent, and anti-blocking agent in polyolefin films (e.g., LDPE, LLDPE, PP) and PVC compounds.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a thickener, opacifier, and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and stick formulations, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel.
• Industrial Lubricants & Metalworking: Functions as a friction modifier and anti-wear additive in synthetic lubricants, greases, and metal drawing compounds.
• Textile & Fiber Industry: Employed as a softener and lubricant for synthetic fibers and yarns to improve processability and hand feel.
• Inks & Coatings: Serves as a dispersing agent and rheology modifier to improve pigment wetting and application properties.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Imparts lubricity and mold release properties in hot-melt and pressure-sensitive adhesive formulations.
