Oleamide

Description

Oleamide is a fast-migrating slip agent derived from oleic acid, widely used in the production of PE and PP films. It provides an immediate reduction in surface friction, improving film handling and packaging operations. Its ability to bloom quickly makes it ideal for short-term slip enhancement needs.

Mechanism & Features

  • Quick migration to film surface
  • Reduces static and surface tackiness
  • Improves extrusion stability and film separation
  • Effective in monolayer and multilayer film systems
  • Compatible with most resins and other additives

Technical Specifications

  • Standard oleamide powder
  • High-purity grades for food contact use
  • Pelletized forms for cleaner dosing

Applications

  • PE, PP, and EVA film processing
  • Food and industrial packaging
  • Labels and shrink wrap films
  • Carrier films for printing and coating

Usage Recommendations

  • Improves slip without affecting transparency
  • Reduces mechanical drag during winding and sealing
  • Helps prevent blocking in film rolls
  • Cost-effective solution for packaging efficiency

FAQ

  1. When should Oleamide be preferred over Erucamide?

Oleamide is ideal for fast slip performance in short-term applications, while Erucamide offers longer-lasting effects.

  1. Does Oleamide affect film clarity?

No. It has minimal impact on optical properties when used within recommended concentrations.

  1. How is Oleamide added to the resin?

It is typically premixed in masterbatch or added directly to the resin in small dosages.

  1. Can it be used with recycled plastics?

Yes, Oleamide is compatible with virgin and recycled PE or PP blends.
