Description

Oleamide is an amide chemical derived from oleic acid. It occurs naturally and is found in animals and plants. It has been detected in human plasma. Industrial grade oleamide is a white solid at ambient, typically in the bead form or flake form. It is not soluble in water. Oleamide is used in many industries, including plastics and lubricant industries.

Manufacturing Process

Oleamide can be derived from animal sources.

There are several chemical synthesis processes to produce oleamide: 1. In the presence of a catalyst, such as boric acid or phosphoric acid, oleamide is produced by reacting oleic acid with urea. 2. Oleamide can be produced by reacting ammonia with oleic acid at high temperature and high pressure.

Chemical Reactions

Oleamide is typically used as an end product in many applications. It is not used as a chemical intermediate for further reactions.
