Description

n-Pentyloctadecanamide is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid amide derivative with the CAS registry number 74420-94-3. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, valued for its ability to modify surface properties and enhance material performance. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the polymer, lubricant, and specialty chemical industries seeking to improve slip, anti-blocking, and release characteristics in their formulations.

Application

• Polymer Additive: Functions as an internal and external lubricant and slip agent in polyolefin films (e.g., LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE) to reduce friction and prevent blocking.
• Release Agent: Used in molding processes for plastics, rubber, and polyurethane to facilitate easy demolding and provide a clean surface finish.
• Surface Modifier: Imparts water repellency and anti-static properties to fibers, textiles, and paper coatings.
• Lubricant Formulation: Acts as a friction modifier and thickening agent in greases and synthetic lubricants for industrial applications.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Employed as an opacifier, viscosity modifier, and emollient in creams, lotions, and makeup products.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block for the synthesis of more complex surfactants and specialty amides.
