Bio-Based Plasticizers for Polyvinylchloride (PVC) | SpringerLink
Epoxidized vegetable oils (ESBO) originating from soybean oil, is known as secondary plasticizer and a secondary stabilizer in PVC. It showed limited compatibility with PVC and low plasticization efficiency, due to the unreacted double bonds and hydroxide groups formed during the epoxidation [ 37 , 38 ].
UV and thermal stability of soft PVC plasticized with
Spectra were recorded on PVC homopolymer and on PLACARD and ESBO plasticizers, extracted from soft PVC after thermal treatment and UV weathering. Extraction was performed by holding 1 g of soft PVC in 120 ml of ethyl ether for 24 h, according to ASTM D 2124-99.
CONTRIBUTION OF EPOXIDIZED SOYBEAN OIL IN PVC
The Epoxide ring from ESBO reacts with the HCl generated during degradation and restores the labile chlorine atoms back into the polymer chains. This prevents PVC from further...
Mechanical and Thermal Properties of the Plasticized PVC-ESBO
The glass transition temperature of PVC is a linear function of the epoxidization of ESBO plasticiz- er. The activation energies of stabilized PVC/ESBO is also influenced by dehydrorochlo-...
Thermal stability of poly(vinyl chloride) with epoxidised
Epoxidised soybean oil (ESBO) has been tested as a primary plasticizer in suspension PVC. The stabilization of the material with different traditional stabilizers has been evaluated and...
- What is Esbo (epoxidized soybean oil)?
- ESBO (Epoxidized Soybean Oil) is a widely used plasticizer and stabilizer in the polymer industry, known for its unique characteristics and versatile applications. Here are some key characteristics of ESBO: ESBO functions as a plasticizer, imparting flexibility, softness, and elongation to polymers such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride).
- Is Esbo a sustainable plasticizer?
- ESBO is derived from natural soybean oil and is biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional plasticizers. It reduces the environmental impact of plastic products and supports sustainable manufacturing practices.
- What is epoxidized soybean oil – liquid stabilizers Polyflex?
- It is derived from soybean oil and has excellent heat and light stability, making it a preferred choice for many industrial applications. Faith Industries Ltd. offers the entire range of Epoxidized Soyabean Oil (ESBO) – Liquid Stabilizers PolyFlex made from the best feedstock available.
- Is Esbo biodegradable?
- It complies with regulatory standards such as FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) regulations and European REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) directives. ESBO is derived from natural soybean oil and is biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional plasticizers.
- Which polymers are compatible with Esbo?
- ESBO is compatible with a wide range of polymers, including PVC, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and various elastomers. It blends easily with polymer matrices, ensuring uniform dispersion and consistent performance in plastic formulations.
- Why is Esbo a good material?
- ESBO exhibits excellent heat stability and thermal resistance, making it suitable for applications requiring exposure to elevated temperatures. It helps maintain the integrity and mechanical properties of polymer products under thermal stress and processing conditions.
