What is the difference between Oleamide and Erucamide (SLIP ADDITIVE)?
May 09, 2025Oleamide and Erucamide, though similar in name and use, are significantly different in practical application as important lubricants. Understanding the differences between oleamide and erucamide can help us accurately choose the appropriate materials for various industrial scenarios, enhancing production efficiency. Below is detail the differences between oleamide and erucamide.
| Name |
OLEAMIDE (other names: FinaWax O; OleWax; Crodamide; Emerest) |
ERUCAMIDE (other names: FinaWax E; Emoslip E; EruWax;...) |
| Concept | Oleamide is a product of the amide process of fatty acids in nature. Oleamide has many applications in a number of fields, such as: porous structure stabilizer, waterproofing for paper, color dispersion for textile industry, etc. In the field of plastic production, Oleamide is mainly used as a thickening agent. smooth, mold-proof, scratch-reducing, color dispersion, processing aid, etc. | Erucamide helps to create a smooth, glossy (easy to open the mouth for Packaging), specialized for blowing grease bags, in addition, it also helps to improve transparency, helps reduce friction (anti-scratch) for ropes, processing aids, easy to separate mold for injection molding products. |
| Molecular Formula | C18H35NO | C22H43NO |
| Melting temperature: | 70-80 ℃ | 77– 85 ℃ |
| Effect |
Oleamide
improves the flow of the resin, reduces flow defects, helps to reduce the
friction of the resin with the device wall. Therefore, Oleamide also reduces
energy consumption and equipment wear. Oleamide migrates to the outer surface of the plastic product, reducing the coefficient of surface friction and reducing the adhesion between the plastic and the metal wall. As a result, Oleamide helps to increase the smoothness, ease of mold separation, and reduce scratches to the plastic. Oleamide is also an ingredient that helps to disperse some colors into the plastic. Oleamide also partially improves the gloss of the product |
