Busperse 47 dimethyl amide of an unsaturated fatty acid functions as a lubricant in extrusion processes and a pigment dispersant and viscosity depressant in many resins. Examples include the use of a more stable boiler water dispersant, for higher cycles and less boiler blowdown; or conversion to deposit control technology in recirculating cooling systems that tolerates higher dissolved solids, for less cooling tower blowdown, according to Johnston.
