Cargill launches Biovero bio-based plasticizer - bioplastics
Cargill is adding to its bioindustrial solutions portfolio with Biovero bio-based plasticizer, which is used for a wide variety of product manufacturing applications such as flooring, clothing, wires, cables and plastic films and sheets for its industrial customers throughout North America, with plans to expand the product globally.
Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
Bio-based plasticizers Vegetable oil-based plasticizers Vegetable oils such as soybean oil, peanut oil, castor oil, tung oil, palm oil and so on which are generally extracted from plant seeds and germ, are widely distributed in nature [ 26 ]. The main components of vegetable oil are straight-chain higher fatty acids and glycerides [ 27, 28, 29 ].
