Description

Oleamide Mea CAS NO 7545-20-2 is a high-purity chemical compound, specifically the monoethanolamide of oleic acid. This versatile intermediate is valued for its excellent slip and anti-blocking properties, as well as its role as a foam stabilizer and viscosity modifier. It is an essential raw material for manufacturers in the plastics, personal care, and coatings industries seeking to enhance product performance and processing characteristics.

Application

Oleamide Mea is a multifunctional additive with several key industrial applications:

• Plastic & Polymer Additive: Primarily used as an internal and external slip agent and anti-blocking agent in polyolefin films (e.g., LDPE, LLDPE, PP) to reduce surface friction and prevent film layers from sticking together.
• Foam Stabilizer: Acts as a foam booster and stabilizer in detergent formulations, shampoos, and liquid soaps, improving lather quality and longevity.
• Viscosity Modifier: Used in cosmetic and personal care formulations, such as creams and lotions, to adjust rheological properties and provide a smooth, non-greasy feel.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of corrosion inhibitors for industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• Textile Auxiliary: Functions as a softener and lubricant in fiber and yarn processing to improve handle and reduce breakage.
• Ink & Coating Additive: Imparts slip and anti-mar properties to printing inks and industrial coatings, enhancing surface finish and durability.
