Green plasticizers derived from epoxidized soybean oil
General, plasticizers are added into PVC to improve the thermal, mechanical and flame-retardant properties [2]. Nowadays, there are more than 500 kinds of plasticizers in the market. Among them, phthalate plasticizers dominate the main commercial plasticizers [3]. These phthalate plasticizers are derived from petroleum resources.

Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly
Bioplasticizers are derived mainly from biomass sources including agricultural products, it’s by-products and waste. Regardless of the biomass source, ideal bioplasticizers are expected to be...
Methyl Acetyl Ricinoleate as Polyvinyl Chloride Plasticizer
The use of alternative plasticizers with low toxicity and good compatibility with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has become more attractive in the recent years in contrast with the phthalate derivatives. In this study, an additive derived from castor oil (methyl acetyl ricinoleate—MAR) was tested as a plasticizer for PVC. MAR was added to PVC in a range of 50–90 PHR and the increase of the
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Bio-based Plasticizers – They are based on epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO), epoxidized linseed oil (ELO), castor oil, palm oil, other vegetable oils, starches, sugars etc. Others – Includes Phosphates, Chlorinated Paraffins, Alkyl Sulfonic Acid Esters and more When added to polymer, these plasticizers provide several benefits as listed below.
- Is vegetable oil a bio-based plasticizer?
- The main components of vegetable oil are straight-chain higher fatty acids and glycerides [27, 28, 29]. Vegetable oil has the innate advantages of good degradability and non-toxic, so it is an ideal raw material of novel bio-based plasticizers .
- Can waste oil be used as a plasticizer?
- Very recently, researchers in our group elaborated a new plasticizer using waste oil as raw material. Liu et al. used waste cooking oil and malic acid as feedstock, and successfully developed an efficient bio-based plasticizer (acetylated-fatty acid methyl ester-malic acid ester, AC-FAME-MAE) for PVC by eco-friendly methods.
- How much does Epoxidized vegetable oil cost?
- The cost of DOP is around 1300 $per ton, while the cost of epoxidized vegetable oil is around 1500 $per ton. This difference in prices in not significant but the impacts difference between the traditional plasticizer and the bio-based one is significant if the priority are the health concerns or environmental issues.
- Are bio-based plasticizers based on soybean oil?
- Jia et al. [50, 51, 52] prepared a variety of novel bio-based plasticizers using soybean oil as raw materials, such as introducing P-containing groups (diethyl phosphate and phosphaphenanthrene group) into soybean oil to prepare plasticizers with flame-retardant properties.
- What are bio-based PVC plasticizers?
- Many bio-based PVC plasticizers, such as vegetable oil-based plasticizers, cardanol-based plasticizers, lactic acid-based plasticizers, waste cooking oil-based plasticizers, polyester plasticizers, hyperbranched plasticizers and so on, have been extensively studied.
- What is epoxidation of vegetable oils?
- Attention to the epoxidation of vegetable oils has grown exponentially in recent years in many industries since epoxidized vegetable oils are eco-friendly, decomposable, harmless, and sustainable compounds. Epoxidation of vegetable oils can be performed through different processes which vary only in the type of catalyst used.
