Epoxidized Soybean Oil (ESBO) ist used as plasticizer in PVC-compounds with stabilizing effects. It is produced by epoxidation of Soybean Oil. It is an alternative to Phthalate-based plasticizers and commonly used as a secondary plasticizer.
ESBO increases the capability of resistance of the PVC to atmospheric influences and is therefore used in food grade packaging. It is a stabilizer for the release of HCl, which is being evaporated during thermal treatment of PVC.
