Epoxidized Soybean Oil
Basic PropertiesEpoxidized Soybean Oil is a pale yellow viscous liquid, non-toxic, odorless, and highly transparent at room temperature. Its boiling point is 150°C (0.53 kPa), and its density ranges from 0.988 to 0.999 g/cm³. The flash point is ≥280°C. It is soluble in most organic solvents and hydrocarbons, slightly soluble in ethanol, and insoluble in water. Quality Inspection Standards

Main Applications
1. As a Plasticizer for PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Epoxidized Soybean Oil is widely used in PVC products, especially in transparent products, food packaging materials, and non-toxic products. It improves the physical properties of PVC, enhancing heat resistance, light stability, and anti-aging performance, while also extending the product’s service life.
2. For Synthetic Rubber: It can be used as a plasticizer for synthetic rubber, improving its processing performance and elasticity. It is commonly used in tires, sealing materials, and rubber products.
3. For Specialty Inks and Coatings: Epoxidized Soybean Oil is used in inks and coatings to improve the rheological properties, stability, and adhesion of the products. It is frequently used in the production of environmentally friendly inks and coatings.
4. For Paints and Coatings: Due to its excellent compatibility and low volatility, Epoxidized Soybean Oil is an ideal plasticizer for paints and coatings, enhancing the flexibility and gloss of the coating.
PrecautionsAlthough Epoxidized Soybean Oil is non-toxic, it is an industrial oil and should not be ingested. Avoid prolonged skin contact during use, and follow relevant safety protocols. During storage and transportation, it should be kept dry, away from heat, and protected from direct sunlight.
