    FINAWAX-E is a refined vegetable oil-based erucamide that is an excellent slip and anti-blocking agent for polyolefins like LDPE, LLDPE, and PP. It reduces friction during processing and forms a thin film on the finished product to improve slip and prevent blocking. FINAWAX-E has better high temperature performance than oleamide and allows for delayed migration, making it useful for PP film applications and packaging where printing or sealing may occur after processing. It is approved for indirect food contact in the US, EU, Australia, and Japan and has low oral and dermal toxicity.

    (Slight variations in the specifications stated due to raw materials and production conditions are possible though they have no
    influence on the application properties described.)

    FINAWAX-E is a refined vegetable oil based Erucamide. FINAWAX-E is an excellent slip agent
    and a good anti-blocking agent for poly-olefins.

    APPLICATIONS:
    When FINAWAX-E is mixed with a polymer, it reduces friction between the polymer and
    processing equipment and also between the polymer - polymer inter-faces.
    Due to its migration, a thin film of FINAWAX-E is formed on the surface of the finished
    product and this provides the slip effect and anti-block performance.
    Finawax E (Erucamide) is recommended for use in both LDPE & LLDPE as well as PP film grade
    applications. FINAWAX-E (Erucamide) better high temperature performance than FINAWAX-O
    (Oleamide). This makes it particularly more useful for PP Film applications because FINAWAXE allows higher processing temperatures.
    The longer carbon chain of Erucamide causes a delayed migration in comparison to Oleamide,
    which is a required property, if printing or sealing is carried out directly after processing the
    film.
