Oxymoll Esbo - Vegetable Oil-based Epoxy Plasticizer | Enhances Pvc Stability, Low Volatility, Compatible With Various Polymers

Epoxy Plasticizer :-

ESBO is a vegetable oil-based light coloured secondary
plasticizer.

Use of Epoxy
plasticizer in the processing of many polymers, particularly PVC is
well recognized. Epoxidised compounds are able to link hydrogen
chloride gas evolved during decomposition of PVC to form a neutral
compound of high stability and hence have a stabilizing action in PVC
and other chlorine containing polymers.

As a co-plasticizer with
conventional phthalate plasticizers, it imparts lower volatility and
better resistance to migration and extraction by fats, oils and soapy
water.

It improves the heat and
light stability besides weatherbility obtained with conventional
stabilizer systems. It acts synergistically with metallic stabilizers
like organo tin, barium/cadmium, calcium zinc or barium zinc.

Applications

Use of Oxymoll ESBO is
recommended in PVC compositions for

In Rigid PVC Composition

Oxymoll ESBO can be used as a co-stabilising internal lubricant

In Chorinated Paraffins

Irrespective of their chlorine content, chlorinated paraffins have a tendency to deteriorate due to decomposition in the presence of heat and light. Consequently, the presence of Oxymoll ESBO oil in the product helps stabilization and minimizes the effect.

In Coating Formulations

Oxymoll ESBO is compatible with a variety of surface coating materials like PVC, PVA, nitro cellulose, chlorinated rubber etc. Being an acid acceptor, it imparts stability to coating formulations besides better resistance to extraction by soap, detergent and salt solutions. It also imparts resistance to migration compared to conventional plasticizers in surface coating formulations.

In addition, Oxymoll ESBO improves adhesion, toughness, gloss and chemical resistance of the film.

Recommended Dosage

Plasticised PVC

In general, Oxymoll ESBO is used at a concentration of 2-5 PHR. Approximately 10% of the Plasticizer content has proved
to give good results.

Rigid PVC

Recommended concentration is 1-3 PHR

Chlorinated Paraffins

Depending on the chlorine content of chlorinated paraffins, efficient stabilization is achieved at 3 -5 %. Generally higher the chlorine content, higher should be the dosage of Oxymoll ESBO.

Standard Packing

In Plastic/M.S. Drums of 200kg net.

Storage Instructions

Handling

Being non-corrosive in nature, spillage of Oxymoll ESBO on the floor or human hands does not cause any specific problems. Normal wash with soap or detergent with plenty of water would be adequate

Toxicity

Being manufactured from vegetable oil, Oxymoll ESBO is generally regarded as non-toxic. However, users should carry out their own tests on end products before using in articles coming in contact with food stuffs, beverages etc. to ensure conformity to relevant standards.
