  • Applications

    Behenamide MEA is commonly used as a slip agent and processing aid in polymers and plastics, particularly for polyolefin systems, to reduce friction during extrusion and film production; in coatings and inks, it is used as a surface-slip additive that helps reduce friction and prevent blocking during printing or coating; in cosmetics and personal care, its fatty, conditioning properties allow it to function as a conditioning emollient in products such as creams, shampoos, and conditioners; in adhesives and laminates, behenamide MEA can be used to improve lubrication and handling during adhesive application and lamination.
