EBS

Ethylene bis stearamide (EBS) is an organic compound that is mostly applied as a form release agent, and it can be used in many industrial applications. EBS has either a vegetable or tallow base. All EBS on 18c, Acme-Hardesty's online store, is in bead form based on veg stearic acid.

What Is Ethylene Bis Stearamide?

Ethylene bis stearamide is a synthetic substance that has a smooth texture. EBS is available in white beads that have no distinguishable scent. This non-toxic substance is soluble in chlorinated and aromatic solvents. In a general solvent under normal temperatures, it will dissolve.

Ethylene bis stearamide is used in products across many industries because of its high-temperature lubrication and low-temperature anti-stick and surface-smoothing properties.

Ethylene Bis Stearamide Uses & Applications

EBS is valued due to the many functions it's known for. It serves as a:

• Dispersing agent
• Release agent
• Anti-static agent
  
• Anti-foaming agent
• Internal and external lubricant
• Flow enhancer
• Finishing additive
• Pigment stabilizer
• Additive

Ethylene bis stearamide is commonly used in applications for industries such as:

• CASE: Ethylene bis stearamide is a great flow enhancer in powder-coating additives.
• Textiles and paper: EBS acts as an anti-static and anti-foaming agent in the production of various textiles and papers.
• Rubber: In rubber production, ethylene bis stearamide is a release agent and additive to surface finishing.
• Plastic: In the processing of many kinds of plastics, EBS is an internal and external lubricant, pigment stabilizer and dispersant. It also improves the surface appearance of most plastics, such as by adding a glossy finish on PVC. The multiple functions of EBS in plastic production improve processing time and reduce processing costs.
• Metalworking: In wire-drawing, ethylene bis stearamide is a lubricant that reduces friction.
• Construction: EBS is a modifier in the production of asphalt because it lowers the asphalt's softening temperature.
• Painting and printing: Ethylene bis stearamide is an anti-sticking and leveling agent for printing ink and painting. It can also be an additive in paint and a solvent in paint coating.
