  • Applications

    Linoleamide (CAS 3999-01-7) is the amide of linoleic acid and is commonly used as a slip agent and processing aid in polymer manufacture, helping reduce friction and facilitate film formation. It also functions as a surfactant or emollient in cosmetic and personal care formulations. In coatings and inks, it can act as a processing aid and surface-compatible additive to improve flow and slip. It may be employed in household cleaning products as a surfactant or conditioning additive, and can serve as an adhesive additive to improve handling and surface finish.
