Preparation of Epoxidized Fatty Acid Methyl Ester with
One of the most important renewable and safe plasticizers is epoxidized vegetable oil (EVO) or fatty acid methyl esters (EFAME), which is produced by epoxidation of the unsaturated double bonds of vegetable oil or FAME and can be used as bio-plasticizers for food-contact materials [ 7 ].
Synthesis of an efficient bio-based plasticizer derived
Comparing between the three plasticizers, AC-FAME-MAE contains many ester groups, which are polar more than DOP and EFAME, so the weight loss is smaller in a less polar petroleum ether solution. Because of the polarity, the weight loss of AC-FAME-MAE in anhydrous alcohol was greater than that in petroleum ether, and its weight loss was similar
Synthesis of an efficient bio-based plasticizer derived
A novel renewable plasticizer based on castor oil, epoxidized glycidyl ester of ricinoleic acetic ester (EGERAE), was synthesized and applied into Poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) for the first time....
Perspectives on alternatives to phthalate plasticized poly
The most widely used PVC plasticizers are phthalate esters, particularly di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), which usually represent up to 40–50% of the weight of the plastic items. Phthalates account for 80% of all plasticizer production [6] while DEHP is responsible for over 50% of worldwide phthalate production [7].
A Potentially General Approach to Aliphatic Ester
As sustainable alternatives, aliphatic ester-derived plasticizers feature low cytotoxicity, biodegradability, and renewability, but they can only partially replace DEHP in PVC formulations...
- Is efame a good plasticizer for PVC products?
- It has very good process ability to PVC products with low cost, and it can partial or even totally replace phthalate plasticizer for PVC products. EFAME has the same plasticizing effect as DOP, its resistance of heat and volatility is better than DBP.
- Is efame compatible with PVC resin?
- EFAME has excellent compatibility with PVC resin. It improves the physical properties of the product and prolongs the aging time obviously, and enjoys good synergistic effect with the metal stabilizers such as barium, cadmium, zinc.
- What is efame used for?
- The application of EFAME occurs during the manufacturing process, typically at the blending or compounding stage. It is compatible with various processing techniques, including extrusion, injection molding, and calendaring, making it a versatile solution for different production environments.
- What are the benefits of efame?
- Epoxy value: The higher epoxy value, the higher plasticizing effect. It can increase replacement percentage, to reduce the production cost of PVC products. 5. No odor: EFAME is odorless during our years of research and development,it can improve the PVC products quality . 6. It makes the PVC products brighter and softer by adding EFAME. 7.
