EBS Wax Supplier

Product Overview

A versatile additive trusted across the global plastics industry

Ethylene Bis Stearamide (EBS) is a synthetic amide wax produced from the reaction of ethylenediamine and stearic acid. Marketed worldwide as a high-melting wax in white or pale-yellow bead, powder, or flake form, EBS combines exceptional lubricity, mold-release, and dispersion performance in a single additive.

Its broad polymer compatibility makes it suitable for nearly all thermoplastics and thermosets — from PVC, ABS, and polyolefins to engineering resins like PA and PC. EBS is insoluble in water and stable to acids, alkalis, and moisture, ensuring consistent performance under demanding processing conditions.

As an EBS wax supplier, Sychem supplies industrial-grade and high-purity EBS wax from qualified Chinese manufacturers, with stable supply, consistent quality, and direct factory pricing for global B2B buyers.

Performance Benefits

Six functions in a single additive

EBS uniquely combines lubricating, dispersing, and surface-modifying actions, making it one of the most cost-effective processing aids on the market.

01 / LUBRICATION

Internal & External Lubricant

Reduces melt viscosity and friction between polymer and metal surfaces, lowering torque and improving throughput in extrusion and injection molding.

02 / RELEASE

Mold-Release Agent

Forms a smooth interfacial film that allows easy demolding of thermosetting resins, urea-melamine moldings, and rubber parts without surface defects.

03 / DISPERSION

Pigment & Filler Dispersant

Enhances wetting and homogeneity of pigments, carbon black, calcium carbonate, and glass fibers — improving color uniformity and mechanical consistency.

04 / ANTI-BLOCK

Anti-Blocking & Slip

Prevents film and sheet from sticking together; eliminates fish-eye defects in blown film and improves bag-opening for packaging applications.

05 / ANTISTATIC

Antistatic Performance

Reduces surface resistivity of finished plastics, minimizing dust pickup and static-related defects in electronics housings and powder coatings.

06 / SURFACE GLOSS

Surface Brightness & Gloss

Compensates for mold imperfections and contributes a smooth, glossy finish — particularly valued in rigid PVC profiles and ABS appliance parts.

Industries Served

Applications across plastics, rubber & beyond

EBS is used by compounders, masterbatch producers, and end-product manufacturers in five major application segments.

P

Plastics Processing

Internal & external lubricant for ABS, PS, PVC, PA, PC, polyolefins. Improves melt flow, reduces die buildup, prevents screw sticking. Recommended dosage 0.1 – 0.5%.

PVC ABS PA PP / PE PC
M

Masterbatch & Pigments

Premier dispersant for color masterbatch, white masterbatch, and filler masterbatch. Ensures uniform pigment distribution and prevents agglomeration during compounding.

Color MB Filler MB Toner Carbon Black
R

Rubber Processing

Release agent for tire, fluororubber, and EPDM compounding. Improves Banbury kneading, vulcanization performance, and finished surface gloss.

Tire Fluororubber EPDM
C

Coatings & Inks

Micronized EBS provides anti-blocking, slip, scratch resistance, and water-repellency in solvent-based and water-based coatings, with minimal impact on transparency.

Powder Coating Printing Ink Wood Lacquer
N

Nucleating & Engineering Plastics

Acts as a transparent nucleating agent in polyolefins, POM, and polyamide — shortens nucleation time, refines crystalline structure, improves mechanical properties.
