An efficient bio-based plasticizer for poly (vinyl chloride
In this study, a bio-based efficient plasticizer (acetylated-fatty acid methyl ester-citric acid ester, AC-FAME-CAE) for poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) was synthesized by using waste cooking oil and...
An efficient plasticizer based on waste cooking oil
Therefore, the development of sustainable and efficient plasticizers has become particularly urgent. The waste cooking oil was used as the main raw materials in this study to synthesize an...
Natural-based plasticizers and biopolymer films: A review
Secondary plasticizers, on the other hand, have lower gelation capacity and limited compatibility with the polymer, they are typically blended with primary plasticizers, to improve product properties or reduce the cost [24]. Plasticizers, for biopolymer-based films, can be divided into water soluble and water insoluble [25].
Waste Cooking (Palm) Oil as an Economical Source
Here, a cost-effective route for the preparation of biodiesel (BD) from waste cooking oil (WCO) as an alternative eco-friendly fuel and lubricant via catalytic transesterification process using simple base catalyst was demonstrated. Physical and chemical characterization based on FT-IR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy reveals that free carboxylic acid functionality successfully alters to
WCO CAN BE MADE INTO PLASTICIZER - News - Zhejiang Jiaao
WCO CAN BE MADE INTO PLASTICIZER [Dec 23, 2025] The waste cooking oil (WCO) production from the catering industry and food processing industry causes serious environmental, economic and social problems. However, WCO can be used for the preparation of fine chemicals such as internal plasticizer.
- Can WCO be used for preparing internal plasticizer?
- However, WCO can be used for the preparation of fine chemicals such as internal plasticizer. With this aim, this work is focused on preparing internal plasticizer by using WCO and determining technical viability of non-migration poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) materials.
- What is a renewable plasticizer?
- A renewable plasticizer originated from waste cooking oil (WCO) was developed. The ester and double bonds in WCO was converted to the epoxy groups. The developed plasticizer showed better compatibility with PVC. The plasticizer significantly improved the stability and flexibility of PVC.
- Can PVC be used as an environment-friendly plasticizer?
- The perspective of using the developed material as an environment-friendly plasticizer for PVC was outlooked. Waste cooking oil (WCO), mainly generated in urban areas from high consumption of refined vegetable oils, cause serious environmental and economic problems every year [Kulkarni and Dalai, 2006].
- Is WCO a good alternative to edible oil for PVC plasticizers?
- However, these raw materials, i.e., the edible vegetable oils, are in short supply in some developing countries, thus hampering the wide application of such green plasticizers. As an alternative, WCO is regarded as a good resource instead of edible oil to produce plasticizers for PVC, especially in some developing areas.
- Is WCO a viable replacement for petroleum based plasticizers?
- WCO has also been effectively used for the production of plasticizers and used as additives in the plastic industries, food packaging and toys manufacturing. Increased demand for plasticizers in the last decade and the negative effects of petroleum-based plasticizers has made the search for a viable replacement inevitable.
- Can WCO be used as a plasticizer for PVC?
- As an alternative, WCO is regarded as a good resource instead of edible oil to produce plasticizers for PVC, especially in some developing areas. Similar to structural modification of vegetable oil, reducing the degree of the –C C- unsaturation is still the main approach [Jia et al., 2018; Zheng et al., 2018; Feng et al., 2018].
