Description
Oleamide (CAS 301-02-0), also known as ODA, Oleylamide, or by trade names such as Crodamide O and Adogen 73, is a fatty acid amide derived from oleic acid. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under surfactants with the molecular formula C18H35NO.
In plastics processing, oleamide functions as a slip agent by migrating to the polymer surface and reducing coefficient of friction between film layers. In personal care formulations, it acts as an emollient and skin conditioner by forming a protective barrier that limits transepidermal water loss. It also serves as a flavorant carrier in certain food and nutrition applications.
Oleamide is supplied as a white powder suitable for direct compounding or dissolution, and is registered under REACH (EC 206-103-9), classified under HS code 29241990. Food-contact and cosmetic-grade material is available upon request. Buyers should confirm grade specification against intended regulatory framework prior to procurement.
