Application of Different Vegetable Oils as Processing Aids
Rubber composites based on renewable vegetable oils are being increasingly developed, as these materials significantly reduce the use of petroleum-based carcinogenic oils as plasticizers in rubber products.
Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
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.
Plasticizers Derived from Biomass Resources: A Short Review
These bio-based plasticizers mainly include epoxidized plasticizer, polyester plasticizer, macromolecular plasticizer, flame retardant plasticizer, citric acid ester plasticizer, glyceryl ester plasticizer and internal plasticizer.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Extenders are a subset of secondary plasticizers. They are commonly employed with primary plasticizers to reduce costs in general purpose flexible PVC. They are mostly low cost oils having limited compatibility in PVC. They are added to reduce cost and in some cases to improve fire resistance.
An efficient plasticizer based on waste cooking oil
The waste cooking oil was used as the main raw materials in this study to synthesize an efficient plasticizer (acetylated‐fatty acid methyl ester‐trimellitic acid ester, AC‐FAME‐TAE). The
- 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 .
- Are plant oils a viable raw material for the plastics industry?
- Vegetable or plant oils represent a renewable resource that can be used as reliable starting material to access new products with a wide array of structural and functional variations. The abundant availability and the relatively low cost make plant oils an industrially attractive raw material for the plastics industry.
- What are vegetable oil derived polymers used for?
- These natural properties are now being taken advantage of in research and development, with vegetable oil derived polymers/composites being used in numerous applications including paints and coatings, adhesives, and biomedicine.
- 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.
- 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.
- Are vegetable oil based biopolymers commercially viable?
- Some of the vegetable oil based biopolymers and precursors are currently commercially viable and there are companies that offer derived bio-based polymers (epoxy, alkydic and polyurethanes precursors being the most frequently found) for specific applications.
