| abstract |
A novel, branched, saturated, primary fatty acid amide is disclosed. Application areas are as a slip and/or antiblocking agent or mould release agent. The branched, saturated, primary fatty acid has a formula R—CO—NH 2 where R is a saturated, branched hydrocarbon chain having 11 to 23 carbon atoms, wherein at least 60% by weight of the R—CO—NH 2 molecules have monoalkyl branches and less than 25% by weight of the R—CO—NH 2 molecules have polyalkyl branches. |
