Erucamide has good development prospects under the background of continued growth in demand
Erucamide, also known as cis-13-docenoic acid amide, is a higher fatty acid amide synthesized under normal pressure using erucic acid and ammonia as raw materials, under the catalysis of rare earth metal compounds. Its chemical formula is C22H43NO, CAS number is 112-84-5, it is white particles or powder, non-toxic and odorless, insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol, ether, ester, ketone, benzene and other organic solvents. Erucamide has the characteristics of non-toxic, high decomposition temperature, excellent thermal stability, good antistatic properties, low dosage, and good effect.
As the most important derivative of erucic acid, erucamide is an excellent fine chemical product with a wide range of applications. It has a high melting point and good thermal stability, so it can be used as an anti-sticking agent and slip agent in plastics. In addition, erucamide can also be used in the field of inks to increase the wear resistance and scratch resistance of printed matter.
There are many methods to produce erucamide. Commonly used production methods include: reaction of carboxylic acid and ammonia, reaction of carboxylic acid and urea, reaction of carboxylic acid ester and ammonia, reaction of acid chloride and ammonia, etc. Among them, the reaction of carboxylic acid and ammonia is the synthesis of Erucamide is a commonly used method. Other methods have not been widely used because they produce impurities that are difficult to remove or are less economical and operable.
At this stage, domestic erucamide manufacturers mainly include Hedaxipu Chemical, Tianyu Oleochemical, Ripu Fine Chemical, Weike Asingge Chemical, Alinda Chemical, Zhilian Suhua, Baili Chemical, Changsha Hengchang, Hua Yi plastic additives, etc.
In the future, with the development of downstream industries such as plastics and the growing demand for high-performance materials, China’s erucamide market will continue to expand. As a green chemical product, erucamide is non-toxic and has good degradability. Under the background of the country’s strong support for green environmental protection, erucamide has good application prospects.
According to the “2022-2026 China Erucamide Industry In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, at present , the application of erucamide is mainly concentrated in plastics and other fields, and with the development of downstream industries and the increase in the market penetration of erucamide, the market demand for erucamide in China continues to increase.
Industrial researchers said that compared with alternatives such as oleic acid amide, erucamide has better performance, but due to its The production process is complex, which limits its application to a certain extent. In the future, with the rapid growth of market demand for erucamide, relevant companies and research units will further increase technology research and development efforts, optimize production processes, improve product production efficiency, and reduce production costs, thereby driving up the market penetration of erucamide. Provide good impetus for the growth of erucamide market demand.
