What is Epoxidized Soy Bean oil?
Epoxy Soy Bean oil is a non-toxic yellowish viscous liquid which dissolves in organic solvents such as benzene, cyclohexane, and acetone ethyl acetate. It is plasticizer used in polyvinyl chloride plastics as it is highly stable in heat and light. It also extends the shelf life of the product and has no odor. It acts as a scavenger for hydrochloric acid liberated from PVC during heat treatment.
Epoxidized Soybean oil is industrially available and one of the low cost vegetable oils in the world. Epoxidized soybean oil is produced by oxidation of soybean oil with hydrogen peroxide, either acetic or formic acid. ESO is highly preferred over phthalate plasticizers due to its biodegradable properties.
What are the major applications for Epoxidized Soy Bean oil?
It is used as a plasticizer and stabilizer in plastic material to keep plastics soft and pliable. ESO is used as raw material for various applications that include pharmaceutical molecules, UV cure applications, fuel additives, agriculture, functional fluids, surfactants, flavour & fragrances, coatings, special links and sealants. Epoxidised soybean oil is mainly used as an additive in the manufacture of plastics, adhesives and coatings. The chemical is also used as an inert ingredient in agricultural pesticides, as a process regulator in the manufacture of other chemicals and as an industrial lubricant.
