2. Product Description

Erucamide is a high-purity fatty acid amide and a critical derivative of erucic acid, which is extracted and refined from vegetable oil. It is a waxy, odorless solid that is nearly insoluble in water, while dissolving partially in organic solvents such as ketones, esters, alcohols, ethers and benzene. Its molecular structure contains a long unsaturated C22 alkyl chain and a polar amide group, bringing excellent surface polarity, high melting point and strong thermal stability. It can replace most similar additives and is widely used in plastics, rubber, printing, machinery and other industries. As a processing agent for polyethylene, polypropylene and other plastics, it provides anti-blocking effect, improves lubricity, and enhances the thermoplasticity and heat resistance of plastic products. Erucamide is non-toxic and has been approved for food packaging materials in many countries. Adding erucamide to rubber can boost the gloss, tensile strength and elongation of rubber products, speed up vulcanization, improve wear resistance, and effectively prevent sun-induced cracking. In printing inks, it enhances adhesion, scratch resistance, anti-offset performance and dye solubility. It also works as a surface polisher for wax paper, a metal protective film agent and a foam stabilizer for detergents.
