Erucamide or erucilamide is a long-chain fatty acid amide derived from erucic acid functionally, commonly preferred and used as a slip agent, anti-blocking agent, and lubricant additive in polymers. Supplied in technical grade powder or flakes, erucyl amide is universally used by industrial manufacturers, polymer compounders, and B2B formulation specialists for polymer compounding, packaging production, and industrial oleochemical applications. Also referred to as cis-13-docosenamide by erucamide suppliers, it is compatible with polyolefins such as PE, PP, and LLDPE too. Technically, erucamide improves surface slip, reduces friction, and prevents sticking in plastic films and sheets in the plastic manufacturing industry as well. Scientifically, erucamide is a primary fatty amide resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of erucic acid with ammonia & has a role as a human metabolite, a rat metabolite, a mammalian metabolite, a plant metabolite and an EC 3.1.1.7 (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitor. We are the trusted erucamide manufacturer worldwide and in the United States with reliable lead times and global supply capability.
