Aplicaciones

Plastic Processing Industry

• Oleamide is a key functional additive in plastic processing and represents the single largest downstream application, especially in polyolefin films. In LDPE and LLDPE films it migrates rapidly to the surface and forms a lubricating monolayer that reduces both dynamic and static coefficients of friction, improves opening and reduces blocking between film layers. Typical loadings in LDPE films are around 0.1–0.6%, where the friction coefficient can be reduced to below 0.3 while maintaining transparency and processing stability.
• In LLDPE films and LLDPE-filled films, oleamide not only lowers friction but also decreases power consumption during extrusion by roughly 8–25% or enables a 25–40% increase in output at constant power. In BOPP and CPP films it acts as a slip and antiblocking agent at 0.05–0.3% dosage and can be combined with silica or calcium stearate to meet the friction requirements of high-speed packaging equipment. In PVC films it serves as an internal lubricant and slip agent that improves processing, prevents blocking and enhances gloss and opening performance, and in color masterbatches it works as a dispersant that allows pigment loading to increase by about 10–15%.

Inks and Coatings

• In printing inks, oleamide is mainly used as a leveling agent, anti-blocking agent and abrasion-resistance promoter. In polyamide surface-printing inks for plastic substrates, additions of around 2–5% improve flow and lubrication, leading to better wetting on films, clearer print definition and enhanced resistance to scuffing and soiling. In polyurethane-based composite inks, 1–3% oleamide improves slip, water resistance and rub resistance while maintaining strong adhesion and vivid color.
• Oleamide is also applied in gravure, flexographic and screen inks at approximately 0.8–2.0% to provide slip and anti-blocking performance, and in offset inks it is used at lower levels as a slip and anti-tack component. In coatings it functions as a slip and leveling agent, dispersant and anti-blocking additive. For wood coatings, levels in the 0.3–2.5% range improve surface smoothness, scratch resistance, anti-stick behavior and hydrophobicity, while in powder coatings 0.5–1.2% acts as a fluidization and anti-caking aid that promotes better flow and prevents agglomeration in storage and application.

Rubber Industry

• The rubber industry is another major consumer of oleamide, where it is used as a lubricant, mold-release agent and dispersant. In tire compounds based on NR and SBR, additions of 0.5–2 parts per 100 parts of rubber improve flow and processability during mixing and extrusion, helping fillers disperse more evenly and reducing die swell and scorch risk. As a processing aid it contributes to smoother surfaces and more consistent mechanical properties in the finished rubber.
• In specialty rubber applications such as EPDM-based self-lubricating materials, oleamide at 10–20 parts per 100 parts of rubber works together with ester plasticizers to create internal lubrication, which reduces friction and wear in dynamic applications. In flame-retardant and self-lubricating NBR formulations, about 5 parts oleamide in combination with fillers, flame retardants and plasticizers improves lubrication and processing while maintaining the required flame-retardant and mechanical performance. It is also used as a component in rubber flow and dispersion aids, where it cooperates with other fatty derivatives and waxes to enhance compound flow and filler distribution.

Metal Processing Industry

• In metalworking, oleamide primarily serves as a lubricant, rust inhibitor and emulsifier component in water-based and synthetic machining fluids. In water-based cutting fluids it appears as part of fatty-acid–amide emulsifier systems that, together with nonionic surfactants, triethanolamine and borate esters, provide good emulsion stability, lubrication and anti-rust performance on steel and cast iron. Oleamide-based nonionic surfactants can deliver wetting, emulsification, detergency and temporary corrosion protection when used in fully synthetic formulations.
• Oleamide derivatives such as triethanolamine oleate are used in metal-cleaning formulations where they combine short-term rust prevention with effective removal of oils and waxes from metal surfaces. In forming oils and stamping lubricants, oleamide is blended with base oils to improve boundary lubrication, reduce tool wear and facilitate metal flow. It also appears in emulsifiable oils and microemulsions where its amphiphilic structure supports stable oil-in-water systems that balance cleaning, lubrication and corrosion control.

Textile Industry

• In textile processing, oleamide functions mainly as a softener, antistatic agent and lubricant. When incorporated into fiber finishes it works together with mineral oils and emulsifiers to reduce friction between fibers and processing equipment, improving spinning efficiency and reducing filament breakage. The softening effect enhances the handfeel of fabrics by making them smoother and more pleasant to the touch.
• As an antistatic component in spin finishes and finishing agents, oleamide helps dissipate charges that would otherwise accumulate on synthetic fibers, thereby minimizing dust attraction and electrostatic sticking during processing and wearing. Its lubricating and surface-modifying properties also make it suitable as a component in fiber oiling formulations, where it improves the compatibility of oils and additives and contributes to uniform application on fibers.

Paper Industry

• In the paper industry, oleamide is used as a defoamer, dispersant and slip additive. As a defoaming component it can suppress and break foam generated during pulp processing and coating operations, stabilizing machine operation and improving sheet formation. As a dispersant, it helps pigment particles distribute more evenly in coating formulations, which leads to improved color uniformity and coating smoothness.
• In paper-coating applications, combining oleamide with waxes and resins improves the penetration and anchoring of these hydrophobic components into the paper or board surface. This combination results in better slip properties, reduced blocking and enhanced resistance to water and contamination. The treated paper and paperboard show a smoother surface and improved handling characteristics in downstream converting and printing.

Daily Chemical Products

• In daily chemical products, oleamide serves as an emulsifier, antistatic agent and softener. Its ability to emulsify and disperse oils and waxes is used in household cleaning products where it helps remove oily dirt and waxy residues from surfaces. It can also act as a thickener in liquid products such as shampoos and body washes, adjusting viscosity and improving user perception.
• In creams and emulsions, oleamide contributes to stabilizing oil-in-water systems and helps prevent phase separation, which improves product appearance and shelf life. As an antistatic and softening component in detergents and fabric-care products, it reduces static buildup on fabrics and enhances softness, contributing to improved wearing comfort.

Agriculture and Food Packaging

• In agriculture-related applications, oleamide is used in EVA packaging films and agricultural films as an anti-blocking and anti-fog additive. At low dosages it helps prevent adhesion between film layers, ensuring easy unwinding and deployment in the field, and can cooperate with other anti-fog agents to maintain transparency and droplet-free surfaces. In no-drip agricultural films, 0.05–0.3% oleamide prevents blocking while improving slip and anti-drip performance over time.
• For silver mulch films containing aluminum pigments, oleamide acts as an ideal dispersant and lubricant for aluminum particles, promoting uniform distribution and stable processing. In the broader food-packaging sector, oleamide can be used in containers, shopping bags and packaging films to rapidly reduce surface friction coefficients to 0.2 or below, improving machinability and consumer handling while complying with food-contact regulations.

Electronic Materials and Other Applications

• In electronic materials, oleamide serves as a lubricant in polyethylene cable compounds, where dosage around 0.05% can reduce the friction coefficient from about 0.7 to 0.06 and improve dispersion of colorants and carbon black. In irradiated antistatic heat-shrink polyethylene films, a combination of 0.1% oleamide and 0.1% silica provides both antistatic and slip effects, enhancing handling and performance.
• Oleamide is also used in a variety of other fields, including as a stabilizer in melamine products, a dispersion stabilizer in aluminum electrophoretic coatings, an additive in petroleum drilling auxiliaries and a metal rust inhibitor in mechanical applications. It finds use as an additive in floor and shoe polishes to enhance gloss and slip, and as a modifier to improve asphalt adsorption behavior, broadening its utility across multiple niche segments.
