A Strategy for Nonmigrating Plasticized PVC Modified with
The mannich base of waste cooking oil methyl ester (WCOME) was synthesized from WCO via esterification, interesterification and mannich reaction, which was used to produce self-plasticization PVC...
Advances in biotechnological applications of waste cooking oil
Taking advantage of its high lubricity, biodegradability and low volatility, WCO has been deployed as a low-cost base material for the production of lubricants. When WCO is chemically modified, the oxidation stability is improved and biolubricant with excellent lubrication performance is achieved.
An efficient plasticizer based on waste cooking oil
The performance of the PVC plasticised by AC-FAME-TAE was evaluated and compared with the PVC plasticised by DOP as well as epoxy FAME, respectively. The results showed that AC-FAME-TAE...

Superplasticizer
Superplasticizer. Superplasticizers ( SPs ), also known as high range water reducers, are additives used in making high strength concrete. Plasticizers are chemical compounds that enable the production of concrete with approximately 15% less water content. Superplasticizers allow reduction in water content by 30% or more.
- 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.
- 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].
- 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.
- 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.
- Are WCO plasticizers safe?
- Further, Huzaizi et al. , Feng et al. and Liu et al. have produced plasticizers from WCO and reported that the plasticizers produced from WCO are safer, non-toxic and exhibit better overall mechanical and thermal properties than petroleum-based plasticizers.
- Does epoxidized WCO plasticizer provide better compatibility with PVC?
- While the production of epoxidized WCO plasticizer was reported, very limited information was available on the introduction of epoxy groups to the ester bond in WCO. It is expected that WCO-based plasticizer with a higher epoxy value could provide better compatibility with PVC.
