PVC COMPOUNDING & PROCESSING
ESBO is a heat stabilizer and secondary plasticizer used in PVC-P applications. It has food contact approval up to certain limits but there have been some environmental/political issues concerning the possible use of genetically modified soya bean oil in the manufacture of ESBO.
Epoxidized soybean oil
ESBO is one of the additives in the PVC gasket. It serves as a plasticizer and a scavenger for hydrochloric acid released when the PVC degrades thermally, e.g. when the gasket is applied to the lid and food product undergoes sterilization. [5] ESBO is also used in PVC cling films for wrapping foods and toys. Safety [ edit] Food [ edit]

Ergoplast ES (ESBO) Hurt - Boryszew ERG
DescriptionProduct data. ESBO us a plasticiser used mainly in the processing of soft and hard PVC. Due to easy biodegradability and accetance for the production of products having contact with foodstuffs (according to the EU Directive 10/2011, upto 60 mg/kg is allowed) Ergoplast ES can be used in a variety of applications. Chemical name:
- 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).
- What is epoxidized Linolein (Esbo)?
- ESBO is a yellowish viscous liquid. Epoxidized linolein, a major component of ESBO. ESBO is manufactured from soybean oil through the process of epoxidation. Polyunsaturated vegetable oils are widely used as precursors to epoxidized oil products because they have high numbers of carbon-carbon double bonds available for epoxidation.
- 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 Esbo used for?
- It helps extend the shelf life and maintain the appearance of plastic products. ESBO is used in a wide range of applications across industries, including flexible PVC products (e.g., films, sheets, cables, flooring), synthetic leather, automotive interiors, medical devices, food packaging, toys, and consumer goods.
- 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.
- 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.
