Epoxyized Soybean Oil (ESO) — Epoxyised soybean oil is a kind of soybean oil. Epoxidized soybean oil is a pale yellow, viscous oily liquid at room temperature, safe, heat and light resistant and compatible. It dissolves in the vast majority of organic solvents and hydrocarbons but not in water.
There are many applications of epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), which mainly fall into the following areas:
Plastic industry: Epoxidized soybean oil is a non-toxic plasticizer that is widely used in the manufacturing of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and is a second plasticizer or primary plasticizer. It is compatible and can increase the processing speed, smoothness and resilience of PVCs. Epoxy soybean oil is also used as a plastic stabilizer which will further increase heat resistance of the PVC material and lessen deformation under extreme temperatures and weather resistance and oxidation resistance of the material, increasing product life. A high chemical and thermal stability makes epoxidized soybean oil beneficial for plastics' processing so that it is more fluid in the production process. Epoxidized soybean oil is biodegradable and polluting because it is a bio material. Less toxic chemicals are generated when its manufacturing and consumption and it meets all the criteria of environmental protection. Also, you can make soft PVC goods using epoxidized soybean oil, like plastic floors, wallpapers, cable sheaths, fake leather etc. These goods have to be soft and durable.
Paints & coatings: In coatings epoxy soybean oil can increase the adhesion and resistance to weather of the coatings and thus make it better suited for many environment. Building material: Eco-friendly floor coatings derived from epoxidized soybean oil can be applied for eco-compliant floor coatings in buildings with good properties as well as environmentally-friendly requirements. When applied to a coating with high-solid content, epoxidized soybean oil can enhance the coating's performance and make it more appropriate for applications.
Food adhesives: It will make adhesives viscous and resistant to heat, it will make it more solidified. Epoxyded soy oil can make the adhesive viscous, and it can stick better to all sorts of material surfaces. It can help the adhesive cure and makes the adhesive more powerful and water resistant. Epoxidized soybean oil adhesives bonds better between various materials and bond to multiple substrates. Moreover, epoxidized soybean oil is also compatible and processing, versatile and finds many applications in automobiles, electronics, building materials, medicine and more.
Beauty Industry: Epoxidized Soybean oil can be applied to cosmetics as well for the good compatibility and stability. Epoxidised soybean oil can render cosmetics soft and supple. It can also improve the stability of the cosmetics, avoid ingredient separation or degrading and give the product a longer shelf life. Epoxidized soybean oil is a material which is sustainable and provides the requirements of today's customer to offer sustainable and green products. With its non-toxic nature, cosmetics using epoxidized soybean oil aren't bad for the health of users.
Healthcare: Medical Grade epoxy soybean oil as Pharmaceutical Packaging Material. It's also stable and glossy and can shield drugs from the elements. Medical grade epoxy soybean oil also finds its way into medical devices and equipment for that added protection and stability.
