Description

Fatty Acids, Soya, Epoxidized, 2-Ethylhexyl Esters CAS NO 68082-34-8 is a specialized oleochemical derivative, functioning as a reactive plasticizer and stabilizer. This compound is valued for its ability to impart flexibility and thermal stability to polymer matrices while also acting as a secondary stabilizer. It is primarily needed by formulators in the plastics, coatings, and adhesive industries seeking to enhance product performance and longevity. Its epoxidized structure provides a mechanism for compatibility and reactive modification in various formulations.

Application

• Primary plasticizer and secondary stabilizer in flexible PVC compounds, including cables, flooring, and films.
• Reactive modifier and compatibilizer in epoxy resin systems and coatings to improve flexibility and adhesion.
• Stabilizing agent in polymer blends to enhance resistance to heat and light degradation.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of specialty chemicals, such as polyol derivatives for polyurethane applications.
• Additive in lubricants and greases to improve viscosity index and thermal properties.
• Component in sealant and adhesive formulations to adjust rheology and enhance durability.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Each batch is analyzed to confirm key parameters such as epoxide value, acid value, and iodine value. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, providing full transparency and traceability for your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; prolonged storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) is recommended for optimal long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
