Lauramide

Lauramide (CAS 1120-16-7), also known as Diamide Y, is a fatty acid amide derived from lauric acid.

Where is Lauramide used?

• Plastics processing: internal and external slip agent reducing friction between polymer film layers
• Surface release improvement during extrusion and molding
• Textile and leather finishing: modifies fiber surface properties, improving hand feel and reducing inter-yarn friction
• Metalworking lubricants: enhances film-forming performance and reduces tool wear in cutting and drawing compounds
• Personal care manufacturing: supports emulsion stability and foam modulation
• It acts as a slip agent, lubricant, and dispersing aid where controlled surface interaction is required.

Commercial specifications

• Technical grade, purity 95% to 99%
• Packaging in bags or fiber drums
