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 »
Epoxidized soybean Oil (ESO) is an additive to flexible Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) that gains its name from the reaction that occurs with the unsaturated soybean oil. The epoxidation reaction takes place at a carbon to carbon double bond site. The oxygen atom (usually in the form of a peroxide or a peracid) comes in and... Read more »
