Ethylene bis stearamide (EBS) is an organic compound with the formula (CH2NHC(O)C17H35)2. It is a waxy white solid and is also found as powder or beads that is widely used as a form release agent. The compound is derived from the reaction of ethylenediamine and stearic acid. It is of low toxicity that provides a slippery coating for a variety of applications.
Applications
EBS is a synthetic wax used as a dispersing agent or internal/external lubricant for benefits in plastic applications to facilitate and stabilize the dispersion of solid compounding materials to enhance processability, to decrease friction and abrasion of the polymer surface, and to contribute color stability and polymer degradation.
It is also used in process industries as release agent and antistatic agent for the production of thermoplastics,and wiring.Karsten Eller, Erhard Henkes, Roland Rossbacher, Hartmut Höke "Amines, Aliphatic" in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 2005. {{doi|10.1002/14356007.a02_001}} It is used in powder metallurgy.{{cite book |author1= Auborn, Joseph |author2=Choo, Joon | chapter = Mechanisms of lubrication in powder metallurgy | title = Advances in Powder Metallurgy & Particulate Materials | date = 1993 | volume = 2: Compaction, Sintering and Secondary Operations | pages = 17–25}}
