'''Ethylene bis stearamide''' ('''EBS''') is an organic compound with the formula (CH<sub>2</sub>NHC(O)C<sub>17</sub>H<sub>35</sub>)<sub>2</sub>.  It is a waxy white solid and is also found as powder or beads that is widely used as a form [[Chemistry:Release agent|release agent]].  The compound is derived from the reaction of [[Chemistry:Ethylenediamine|ethylenediamine]] and [[Chemistry:Stearic acid|stearic acid]].  It is a white solid of low toxicity that provides a slippery coating for a variety of applications.

==Applications==
EBS is a synthetic wax used as a dispersing agent or internal/external [[Physics:Lubricant|lubricant]] for benefits in plastic applications to facilitate and stabilize the dispersion of solid compounding materials to enhance processability, to decrease [[Physics:Friction|friction]] and [[Physics:Abrasion (mechanical)|abrasion]] of the [[Chemistry:Polymer|polymer]] surface, and to contribute color stability and [[Chemistry:Polymer degradation|polymer degradation]].

It is also used in process industries as [[Chemistry:Release agent|release agent]] and [[Physics:Antistatic agent|antistatic agent]] for the production of thermoplastics,and wiring.<ref name=Ullmann>Karsten Eller, Erhard Henkes, Roland Rossbacher, Hartmut Höke "Amines, Aliphatic" in ''Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry'', Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 2005. {{doi|10.1002/14356007.a02_001}}</ref>  It is used in powder metallurgy.<ref>{{cite book |author1= Auborn, Joseph |author2=Choo, Joon  | chapter = Mechanisms of lubrication in powder metallurgy | title = Advances in Powder Metallurgy & Particulate Materials | date = 1993 | volume = 2: Compaction, Sintering and Secondary Operations | pages = 17–25}}</ref>
