Epoxidized Soybean Oil (ESO) is produced from one of the most readily available and lowest-cost vegetable oils in the world. ESO is produced through the oxidation of high iodine value unsaturated soybean oil with Hydrogen Peroxide and organic acids such as Acetic Acid or Formic Acid . ESO is primarily used as a co- Plasticizer for flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and its copolymers to keep these plastics soft and pliable. The chemical is also used as a pigment dispersing agent and an epoxy reactive diluent. ESO acts as a secondary heat and light stabilizer, and it is especially valuable as a low cost and effective synergist to metallic stabilizer compounds in vinyl systems. In addition, ESO acts as an ACID scavenger for soy-based inks, agricultural chemicals, and insecticides. ESO can also be used as a chemical intermediate, additive for specialty coatings, adhesives, and urethanes, and in lubricants and cutting oils. Due to its low cost and biodegradability over traditional phthalate plasticizers, ESO is replacing Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP) in some applications. Because ESO is non-toxic, bio-based, bio-degradable, and phthalate-free, it is a prime choice for sustainable and eco-friendly formulations.
