Influence of Plasticizers Basing on Renewable Sources on the
In 2014, Xie et al. investigated among others the impact strength of PVC/wood compounds with plasticizers, also from renewable sources. Cardanol acetate (CA) and epoxy fatty acid methyl ester (EFAME) had been used and parallel DOP as a reference. A higher impact strength for the PVC/EFAME system was found.
Epoxidized methyl ricinoleate bio-plasticizer with a pendant
Among numerous bio based plasticizers, epoxidized fatty acid methyl ester, also known as epoxy fatty acid ester, is favorable for application as an additive material in PVC,...
A simple approach with scale-up potential towards intrinsically
When combined with di- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DOP) in PVC formulations, the chlorinated fatty acid methyl ester is qualified as a co-plasticizer while conferring flame retardancy...
Applications of vegetable oils and their derivatives as Bio-Additives
At present, vegetable oil-based epoxy fatty acid methyl ester (EFAME) has been prepared as a new plasticizer, which can be prepared by epoxidation of fatty acid methyl ester or transesterification of epoxy vegetable oil [131].
Synthesis of an efficient bio-based plasticizer derived from waste
with those of the PVC plasticized with DOP (di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate) and EFAME (epoxy fatty acid methyl ester), respectively. The results of tensile test, TGA and leaching test showed that the
- What is epoxy fatty acid methyl ester?
- Epoxy Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (EFAME),directly made from natural plant oil through etherification and epoxidation, is a kind of environmental epoxy plasticizer. It has very good process ability to PVC products with low cost, and it can partial or even totally replace phthalate plasticizer for PVC products.
- Is efame a good plasticizer for PVC products?
- It has very good process ability to PVC products with low cost, and it can partial or even totally replace phthalate plasticizer for PVC products. EFAME has the same plasticizing effect as DOP, its resistance of heat and volatility is better than DBP.
- What is epoxidized fatty acid methyl ester (efame) bio-plasticizer?
- Currently, utilizing unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters to obtain epoxidized fatty acid methyl ester (EFAME) bio-plasticizers constitutes an environmentally responsible solution to substitute conventional ortho-phthalates that are endocrine disruptors or probable carcinogens.
- Is efame compatible with PVC resin?
- EFAME has excellent compatibility with PVC resin. It improves the physical properties of the product and prolongs the aging time obviously, and enjoys good synergistic effect with the metal stabilizers such as barium, cadmium, zinc.
- What are the benefits of efame?
- Epoxy value: The higher epoxy value, the higher plasticizing effect. It can increase replacement percentage, to reduce the production cost of PVC products. 5. No odor: EFAME is odorless during our years of research and development,it can improve the PVC products quality . 6. It makes the PVC products brighter and softer by adding EFAME. 7.
- What is efame used for?
- The application of EFAME occurs during the manufacturing process, typically at the blending or compounding stage. It is compatible with various processing techniques, including extrusion, injection molding, and calendaring, making it a versatile solution for different production environments.
