Epoxidized soybean oil is a widely used plasticizer and stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride: it has good compatibility with PVC resin, low volatility, and low migration.
Epoxidized soybean oil can be used in polyvinyl chloride products, such as packaging materials, films, sheets, pipes, refrigerator seals, synthetic leather, floor leather, plastic wallpapers, wires and cables, and other daily plastic products. It can also be used in special inks, paints, coatings, synthetic rubber, and liquid composite stabilizers.
