Description

Ethylene bis-stearamide (EBS) is a high-performance synthetic wax widely recognized for its excellent slip, lubricity, and thermal stability. With a high melting point and selective solubility, it functions effectively as a polymer processing aid and surface modifier. At room temperature, EBS is almost insoluble in common solvents, but it dissolves in high-boiling-point organic solvents when heated above its melting point. Its unique properties make it an indispensable additive in plastics, coatings, and other industrial applications.

Key Characteristics
- High melting point synthetic wax with stable performance.
- Superior slip and lubrication under both high and low temperatures.
- Selective solubility: insoluble in water, ethanol, benzene, and glycerol; soluble in high-boiling organic solvents at elevated temperatures.
- Surface improvement: it enhances gloss, smoothness, anti-blocking, and release properties of finished products.
- Versatile performance without impairing plastic transparency, color tone, or thermal stability.
Applications
EBS is a versatile additive used across multiple industries thanks to its excellent lubricating, dispersing, and surface-modifying properties.
EBS is widely used in ABS, PE masterbatches, PVC, PS, PA, POM, and PC as a slipping agent and dispersant. It improves flowability, reduces friction, and enhances surface smoothness, gloss, and transparency.
In inks, paints, and coatings, EBS functions as a gloss enhancer, anti-blocking agent, and leveling agent, ensuring uniform film formation and improved surface appearance.
- Metallurgy & Metal Processing
EBS is used as a drawing lubricant in metalworking and powder metallurgy, providing excellent anti-friction properties during forming and processing.
Packaging and Storage
- EBS should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- During transportation, care must be taken to protect the product from heat and humidity to maintain its quality and effectiveness.
