Product Overview
Armeen® 18D is a distilled, octadecylamine flake derived from vegetable sources. It is most commonly used as a filming amine but it can also be used as an emulsifier, thickener, and boundary lubricant. Armeen® 18D is well suited as a processing aid for elastomers and provides outstanding mold release properties for rubber manufacturing processes. When applied to metal surfaces, Armeen® 18D forms a protective film that inhibits corrosion and also provides lubrication. In addition, Armeen 18D can be used as an emulsifier for waxes, pigments, and other hydrophobic materials. Armeen® 18D has broad FDA approvals and can be used in applications that require food contact.
