Product Details
Erucic acid amide is a high-quality fatty acid amide and one of the important derivatives of erucic acid, purified from vegetable oil sources. This compound appears as a waxy, odorless solid that is insoluble in water but partially soluble in various organic solvents, including ketones, esters, alcohols, ethers, and benzene. Its molecular structure features an extended unsaturated C₂₂ hydrocarbon chain coupled with a polar amide group, which endows it with superior surface polarity, a high melting point, and good thermal stability.

Product Application
This versatile additive serves as an effective substitute for comparable products and finds extensive application across multiple industries, including plastics, rubber, printing, and machinery. When used as a processing additive for plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene, it simultaneously reduces surface tackiness, improves lubrication, and enhances both thermoplastic performance and heat tolerance. Notably non-toxic, this substance has gained approval in many countries for use in food-contact packaging materials.
In rubber formulations, erucic acid amide improves product glossiness, tensile properties, and elongation characteristics while accelerating vulcanization and enhancing wear resistance—particularly in preventing UV-induced cracking. For printing inks, its incorporation strengthens adhesion, scratch resistance, set-off resistance, and dye solubility. Additional applications include use as a wax paper surface polish, a metallic protective coating, and a foam stabilizer in detergent formulations.
