Finawax SE

Stearyl erucamide (Secondary fatty amide). Is a high temperature stable secondary amides capable of withstanding processing temperature of more than 260°C. Being of higher molecular weight, it migrates more slowly to the surface which give advantages in lamination and sealing operations. Is effective in high temperature operations and displays excellent thermal stability. Used in compounding of engineering plastics (polyamides). It is suggested in polyolefins films/ BOPP films for achieving 'medium' slip (i.e. approx. COF 0.3 – 0.5) without the problems associated with adding very low levels of additives.
