Description

Oleyl Palmitamide is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid amide derived from oleylamine and palmitic acid. This compound serves as a highly effective slip agent, internal lubricant, and mold release agent, significantly improving the surface properties and processing efficiency of polymer systems. It is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and personal care industries seeking to enhance product performance, reduce friction, and prevent blocking.

Application

• Primary slip and anti-blocking agent for polyolefin films (LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE) and packaging materials.
• Internal lubricant and mold release agent for engineering plastics (nylon, ABS, PVC) to improve flow and demolding.
• Key additive in hot-melt adhesives and masterbatches to reduce viscosity and enhance coating uniformity.
• Surface modifier and water-repellent agent in industrial coatings and inks.
• Conditioning agent and emulsifier in hair care and skincare formulations for a smooth, non-greasy feel.
• Processing aid for synthetic fibers to reduce friction during spinning and texturing.
• Additive for lubricating greases and metalworking fluids to improve film strength and corrosion protection.
