These Acids are often used in the synthesis of organic and surfactants, slip additives and anti-blocking agents in plastic industries.
Stearamide / Erucamide
CAS Number: Stearamide: 124-26-5 / Erucamide: 112-84-5
Description
Stearamide and Erucamide are high-performance slip agents widely used in plastic films, coatings, and polymer processing. They reduce surface friction, improve slip properties, and enhance processability, ensuring smoother handling, improved stacking, and superior surface finish in finished products.
These long-chain fatty acid amides migrate to the surface of polymers, forming a thin lubricating layer that enhances mechanical and aesthetic properties without affecting bulk material performance. They are essential in packaging, automotive, and industrial polymer applications.
