Professional R&D and excellent quality plasticizer chemicals

Epoxidized soybean oil, better known by its acronym, ESBO, is a plasticizer used in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics. It serves as a plasticizer and as a scavenger for hydrochloric acid liberated from PVC when the PVC undergoes heat treatment. Substance name: soyabean oil,epoxidised Trade name: Epoxidized Soybean Oil EC no: 232-391-0

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]

This study showed that epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) could be used as a primary plasticizer for PVC. They can be used to replace DOP up to 100%. Epoxidized soybean oil indicated the excellent properties as a co-stabilizer for PVC when used in combination with the Ca/Zn stearates.

ESO is an epoxidized glycerol fatty ester that is used as a plasticizer and stabilizer in plastic materials. The substance is especially useful in PVC and its copolymers to keep plastics and rubber soft and pliable. The epoxy functionality provides excellent heat and light stability.

The glass transition temperature of PVC is a linear function of the epoxidization of ESBO plasticiz- er. The activation energies of stabilized PVC/ESBO is also influenced by dehydrorochlo-...
