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 Finawax 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. 

Slight variations in the specifications stated due to raw materials and production conditions are possible though they have noinfluence on the application properties described.) Finawax-O is a refined vegetable oil based Oleamide. Finawax-O is a slip agent for Polyolefins.

Applications:

• Finawax-O is a high purity – fast blooming Oleamide, suggested as a slip additive inpolyolefin applications. Finawax-O reduces CoF between the layers of the film and also between the film and othersurfaces which are in contact with film.A very small use level of 0.1% Finawax-O will impart required slip properties to Polyolefinfilms used for high speed packaging applications.
• Finawax-O is used in printing Inks, rubber compounds, adhesives, coatings, closures and EVAco-polymers as a surface lubricant in production of Metal articles. Finawax-O also improvespenetration, flexibility and slip and seal properties of wax and resin coated paper andpaperboard products. Finawax-O Oct-10 Page 2 of 2

Storage:

• It is suggested to store Finawax-O in a cool and dry place. Prolonged storage above 35°C can cause caking.

Shelf Life:

• The quality of Finawax-O is expected to be within specifiedlimits for 12 months from the date of production, when storedunder prescribed conditions.
