Description

N,N'-Ethane-1,2-Diylbisoctacosanamide is a high-molecular-weight bisamide wax derived from long-chain fatty acids. This specialty chemical serves as a highly effective internal and external lubricant, processing aid, and nucleating agent in polymer systems. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and personal care industries seeking to enhance product performance and processing efficiency.

Application

• Polymer Processing Aid & Lubricant: Acts as an internal/external lubricant and mold release agent in polyolefins (PP, PE), PVC, and engineering plastics to reduce torque, improve flow, and prevent sticking.
• Nucleating Agent for Crystallinity: Enhances the crystallization rate and clarity of semi-crystalline polymers like polypropylene, improving mechanical properties and cycle times.
• Surface Modifier & Anti-blocking Agent: Imparts slip and anti-blocking properties to plastic films and sheets, preventing adhesion between layers.
• Rheology Modifier in Coatings & Inks: Used to control viscosity, sag resistance, and provide matting effects in solvent-based and powder coating formulations.
• Textile & Fiber Additive: Functions as a spin finish and lubricant in synthetic fiber production to reduce friction and static.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed as a thickener, stabilizer, and texture enhancer in stick formulations such as deodorants and lip balms.
• Adhesive & Sealant Component: Modifies rheology and provides thixotropy in hot-melt adhesives and sealants.
• Industrial & Metalworking Lubricant: Serves as a component in specialty lubricants and release agents for metal casting and forming.
