Ethylene Bis-Oleamide (EBO) Antiblocking Agents

Description

Ethylene Bis-Oleamide (EBO), a non-ionic surfactant, is a high-performance amide produced through molecular distillation, designed to improve polymer processability, surface finish, and product performance across a variety of applications. It is chemically stable in acidic, basic, and aqueous media and remains insoluble in most solvents at room temperature. Its robust physicochemical properties make it suitable for demanding polymer processing environments.

Applications

EBO is a versatile polymer additive widely used across various industries due to its excellent anti-blocking, lubricating, and dispersing properties. Its key applications include:

• Polyolefin Processing Aid: Effective in LDPE, LLDPE, PP, PS, AS, ABS, PA, PET, and PC as opening agents and mold-release additives.
• Anti-blocking and Release Agent: Used in EVA and PVC to prevent sticking and improve process efficiency, particularly in EVA hot-melt adhesives.
• Acrylic Rubber: It serves as an internal lubricant and mold-release agent, enhancing processability.
• Pigment and Filler Dispersant: It exhibits strong affinity for inorganic pigments and fillers, improving particle adhesion and dispersion.
• Nucleating and Transparency Enhancer: It reduces nucleation time in polyolefins, polyoxymethylene, and polyamide resins, refining polymer microstructure and enhancing mechanical properties and transparency.
• Fiber Performance Improvement: It increases heat resistance, weatherability, and anti-static properties of polyester and polyamide fibers.
• Specialty Elastomers: Suitable for chlorinated rubber, fluororubber, and nitrile rubber as anti-blocking, extrusion aid, and mold-release agent.

Packaging and Storage

EBO has a recommended shelf life of 1 year when stored in a cool, dry, ventilated, and dark environment.
