Studies on the Effect of Epoxidised Coconut Oil as a
present study modified coconut oil is used as plasticizer for PVC12, 13. The physicochemical properties of the coconut oil were determined and the result revealed that the oil is pale yellow, with a specific gravity of 0.88, viscosity of 35.04 mm2/s at 40oC, flash point of 220oC,
Application of Different Vegetable Oils as Processing Aids
(1) The use of processing oils or plasticizers is by far the most effective way to enhance the interaction between the rubber and filler by increasing the compatibility. (2) Petroleum oils with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are generated via the petroleum refining process.

Coconut Oil Plasticizer as a Replacement of Petroleum Oil
Coconut oil has a great potential as a natural plasticizer source. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness on the physical and mechanical properties of natural rubber with different amounts of coconut oil (2, 4 and 6 phr). The rubber compounding was performed on a two-roll mill machine.
- Is coconut oil a sustainable plasticizer?
- In this study, different ratios amount of coconut oil as a sustainable plasticizer compounded in the natural rubber were developed. The fatty acid content in coconut oil was determined by using chromatographic technique. The cure characteristics of compounded NR, including scorch time, cure time, and torque development were determined.
- Can coconut oil be used as a plasticizer?
- On the other hand, the mechanical properties of vulcanized rubber are reduced, but the change is not significant; therefore, coconut oil as a plasticizer has a certain feasibility. Through RPA testing, it was found that the use of coconut oil as a plasticizer could improve the plasticity of the fillers in the EPDM blends.
- Is coconut oil a suitable plasticizer for flexible packaging?
- ABSTRACT: This study explores the plasticizing effect of coconut oil (CO) on PLA for evaluating its suitability for flexible packaging. investigated by varying the mixing ratio. Water vapor permeability of blends decreased by 58% at 7 wt.% plasticizer content. The ten-
- Can coconut oil be used as a plasticizer for vulcanized rubber?
- Although the mechanical properties of the vulcanized rubber deteriorated when a portion of the paraffin oil was substituted with coconut oil as a plasticizer, the changes were not significant. Consequently, coconut oil is a feasible alternative plasticizer. Table 4. Physical properties of EPDM blends.
- Is coconut oil good for rubber?
- Experimental results revealed that coconut oil has a better plasticizing effect and can improve the processing safety of rubber blends; the mechanical properties and thermal stability were slightly reduced but were in the processable range of rubber.
- Does coconut oil affect the mechanical performance of rubber?
- Moreover, the elongation at the break exhibited an increasing trend. This suggests that the incorporation of coconut oil into the rubber material results in increased spacing between the rubber molecules, which consequently reduces the interaction force between them, thereby weakening the overall mechanical performance of the rubber.
