What is Epoxidized soyabean oil?
Epoxidized soybean oil is a chemical product made from soybean oil after oxidation treatment. It is a light yellow viscous oily liquid at room temperature. It is a widely used non-toxic plasticizer and stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride. It has good compatibility with PVC resin, low volatility, and low migration. It has excellent thermal stability and light stability, good water resistance and oil resistance, can give products good mechanical strength, weather resistance, and electrical properties, and is non-toxic. It is an internationally recognized chemical process additive for food packaging materials.
Epoxidized soybean oil, generally referred to as soybean oil, is a plasticizer made from soybean oil after oxidation treatment. It appears as a light yellow viscous oily liquid at room temperature with a slight grease smell. Compared with chlorinated paraffin and epoxy methyl ester, the smell of epoxy soybean oil is the lightest and most natural. It is suitable for some PVC products that have strict requirements on odor, such as car mats, films, sheets, etc.
It is widely used and is often used as a non-toxic plasticizer and stabilizer in PVC products. It has good compatibility with PVC resin, low volatility, and low migration. It has a high flash point, generally above 285°C, and has excellent thermal stability and light stability. It also has good water resistance and oil resistance. It can give products good mechanical strength, weather resistance, and electrical properties, and is non-toxic. It is an internationally recognized chemical process additive for food packaging materials. The following are standard indicators for epoxy soybean oil. The measured indicators are slightly different from the standard indicators. Generally, customers mainly look at the epoxy value, acid value, color number, and specific gravity. The solidification point is 5-10°C, and the solidification point only needs to be heated to above 25°C for normal use, which will not affect the product quality.
