Oleamide CAS 301-02-0 Slip Agent Polyolefin Film Lubricant for Masterbatch Processing
Product Introduction
Oleamide (CAS 301-02-0), also named 9-octadecenamide or oleic acid amides, is a high-purity unsaturated fatty acid amides produced from refined oleic acid. Supplied as white free-flowing powder or pastille beads with a characteristic mild odour, Oleamide is a proven slip agent, anti-blocking agent and internal lubricant for polyolefin resins such as PE and PP. It migrates to the polymer surface to lower the coefficient of friction, reduce film blocking and improve machinability without affecting printing or sealing performance.

Product Functions
- Acts as an effective slip agent reducing film surface friction and blocking
- Improves anti-blocking and opening behaviour of PE/PP films
- Serves as internal and external lubricant during extrusion and moulding
- Enhances pigment and filler dispersion in masterbatch production
- Reduces die build-up and melt fracture, improving output stability
Application Areas
- Polyethylene and polypropylene film and packaging
- Colour and additive masterbatch
- Injection moulded and blown film products
- Coating, ink and adhesive formulations
- Rubber and polymer processing aid
Manufacturing Process
Refined oleic acid reacts with ammonia under controlled temperature and pressure to form the corresponding amides. The crude product is then degassed, bleached, filtered and flaked, delivering a consistent high-purity Oleamide with stable melting point and colour. Every batch is inspected for assay, acid value, iodine value and moisture before packing.
