Epoxidized Soybean Oil, Epoxidized Soya Bean Oil, ESBO, 8013-07-8

Epoxidized Soybean Oil (ESBO) is a widely used plasticizer and stabilizer in the polymer industry. ESBO is a collection of organic compounds obtained by the epoxidation of soybean oil.

Properties:

• Chemical Formula: C3H5O3

• CAS Number: 8013-07-8

• Appearance: Light yellow, sticky, oily liquid

• Thermal Stability: High stability against heat and sunlight

• Solubility: Good resistance in water and other hydrocarbons, non-volatile

Applications:

• PVC Products: Used as a plasticizer and stabilizer in PVC and copolymers

• Food Packaging: Safely used in food packaging due to its non-toxic nature

• Medical Products: Medical devices and equipment

• Films and Sheets: Packaging materials and protective coatings

• Pipes and Hoses: Used in the production of PVC pipes, hoses, and gaskets

• Other Applications: Lubricants, adhesives, inks, paints, coatings, fuels/biodiesel, solvents, and surfactants

ESBO is preferred over traditional phthalate plasticizers due to its low cost and biodegradability. It can also be used as a pigment dispersant and internal lubricant.

Epoxidized Soybean Oil (ESBO) is also known by several other names:

• Epoxidized soya bean oil

• ESO

• 8013-07-8 (CAS number)
