Is Erucamide interchangeable with Oleamide in a film formulation?

Not automatically. Both are fatty-amide slip additives, but their migration behaviour, processing response and resulting coefficient of friction can differ with resin grade, film thickness, additive package and ageing. Any substitution should be checked at the intended let-down level using the converter’s own test method.

What should be included in an Erucamide purchase specification?

State the required physical form, amide content, appearance or colour limits, volatile matter, melting range, packing and the release test methods. Also identify the resin and application when relevant, so the grade is evaluated against the actual film or sheet process rather than CAS identity alone.

Product Description

Erucamide CAS 112-84-5 is cis-13-docosenamide ((Z)-docos-13-enamide), with molecular formula C22H43NO.

Synonyms: Erucamide; cis-13-docosenamide; (Z)-docos-13-enamide.

CAS: 112-84-5.

Molecular formula: C22H43NO.

It is supplied as powder, beads or granules.

It is used as a slip and processing additive in polyolefin film and sheet.

It is evaluated in polyethylene and polypropylene films for reduced surface friction and web handling.

It is also used in polyolefin sheet, moulding and masterbatch systems.

Performance depends on the resin, let-down level, additive package, film construction and ageing.

Grades are selected by form, amide content, colour and melting range.

Erucamide should not be treated as a one-for-one replacement for oleamide.

State physical form, amide content, colour, volatile matter, melting range and the intended resin system.

For purchasing, specify powder, bead or granule form, then compare amide content, colour, volatile matter, melting range and particle handling.

Keep containers closed and follow the current SDS for storage and handling.

Use suitable PPE and exposure controls when handling the material.

Confirm physical form, amide content, colour, volatile matter and melting range on the COA.

Confirm grade, packaging, and specification as required.
