Frequently Asked Questions
What is the natural source of oleamide?
Oleamide (oleic acid amide, CAS 301-02-0) is the primary fatty amide derived from oleic acid, a fatty acid abundant in plant and animal oils. Industrially supplied oleamide is manufactured from oleic acid feedstock.
What is oleamide used for?
Oleamide is used as a slip and anti-block agent for polyethylene and polyolefin film, a lubricant and mold-release agent, an additive to waxes, printing inks, and lubricating oils, and an antistatic and dispersion aid in plastics.
What is the chemical identity of oleamide?
Oleamide is the primary fatty amide of oleic acid, CAS 301-02-0, molecular formula C18H35NO. It is supplied in the acids and salts / fatty amides category.
How does oleamide act as a slip agent in film?
Oleamide migrates to the surface of polyolefin film and forms a thin lubricating layer that lowers the coefficient of friction, which improves film handling and reduces blocking between layers.
How is bulk oleamide supplied and documented?
Oleamide is typically supplied as a powder, bead, or flake in bags, drums, or totes depending on grade and volume. Specify your form and quantity for a quote; a CoA and SDS accompany bulk orders.
What is the REACH and TSCA regulatory status of Oleamide (Oleic Acid Amide)?
Oleamide (Oleic Acid Amide) (CAS 301-02-0) is listed as Active on the U.S. EPA TSCA Inventory; its REACH registration status is not determined from the public ECHA registry.
