Kemamide® Fatty Amides | Slip Additives

What Are Slip Additives?
Slip agents, also known as antiblock agents, offer plastic processors with improved extrusion and internal lubrication.

Why Choose Kemamide® Fatty Amides?
PMC Biogenix offers primary, secondary, and bisamide grades that are consistently high quality and reliable, and they come in various forms for easy drop-in solutions or handling properties. Primary amides provide slip and antiblocking properties for polyolefins, rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and even coatings. Secondary amides impart outstanding thermal stability, mold flow improvement, and lubricity for polymer applications.

PMC Biogenix Fatty bisamide additives offer calendering, injection, and blow molding benefits by providing a lubricating layer and bloom control. PMC Biogenix fatty amide additives help polymers lower the coefficient of friction (COF), provide mold release solutions for molded polyolefins, and improve torque release for bottle caps and closures. Kemamide® fatty amides are industry-leading slip agents and antiblock additives engineered to enhance the surface properties and deliver high lubricity, thermal stability, and bloom control, making them essential for high-performance plastic applications.
