Polyethylene Glycols (PEGs) are a versatile chemical for formulating in a wide variety of manufacturing industries, from cosmetics to plastics. The properties of PEGs make them useful for enhancing solvency, lubricity, and hygroscopicity. While useful in production processes as mold release agents, lubricants, and anti-static process aids, PEGs are also chemical intermediates in the production... Read more »
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... Read more »
