Erucamide, also known as 13-docosenamide or (Z)-docos-13-enamide, is a primary fatty amide resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of erucic acid with ammonia. Erucamide is used in plastics and the rubber industry, ink and paint industries, the food packaging industry and others. It is used principally as a slip additive, an antiblock agent, and for paper-coating compositions and waterproofing. Erucamide and some of its derivatives are approved for use in polymers at low concentration levels. At these levels, the material is effective without adversely affecting other physical characteristics of the polymer.
