Description

Application
Erucamide is commonly added to polyethylene and polypropylene films as a slip additive to improve surface properties.

Purpose
The main purpose of erucamide is to reduce friction between plastic surfaces making films easier to process handle and package.

General Description
Erucamide is a waxy organic compound that migrates to the surface of plastic materials where it forms a thin lubricating layer that lowers the coefficient of friction.
