Description

FTIR

Chemical structure

Colorless, waxy compound. Stearamide is commonly used as a release agent on the surface of plastic bags (e.g., Ziploc®) to prevent the sides from sticking together. Small amounts of stearamide can readily transfer to the surface of any material placed inside the bags.

Synonyms and Related Terms

octadecanamide; Kemamide; amide wax

Risks

Contact may cause irritation.
Fisher Scientific: MSDS 08/02/2000

Physical and Chemical Properties

Soluble in chloroform, methylene chloride. Slightly soluble in ethanol, ether. Insoluble in water.

Composition	CH3(CH2)16CONH2
CAS	124-26-5
Melting Point	109 C
Molecular Weight	mol. wt. = 283.50
Boiling Point	251 C
