Description

Fatty Acids, Linseed-Oil, Epoxidized, 2-Ethylhexyl Esters is a high-performance, bio-based plasticizer and stabilizer derived from renewable linseed oil. This compound matters for its ability to impart excellent flexibility, thermal stability, and low volatility to polymer matrices, particularly PVC, while enhancing product sustainability profiles. It is essential for formulators in the plastics, coatings, and adhesives industries seeking to improve material performance and meet evolving regulatory and environmental standards.

Application

• Primary Plasticizer for PVC: Used in flexible PVC applications such as cables, hoses, flooring, and synthetic leather to provide durable flexibility and low migration.
• Stabilizer & Co-Stabilizer: Acts as a secondary heat stabilizer in PVC formulations, often synergizing with metal-based stabilizers to prevent degradation during processing.
• Polymer Modifier: Enhances the cold flexibility and impact resistance of various polymers, including nitrile rubber (NBR) and other elastomers.
• Lubricant Additive: Employed as an additive in specialty lubricants and greases to improve film strength and extreme pressure properties.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulations: Imparts flexibility and adhesion in solvent-based and plastisol adhesive systems.
• Coating Resins: Used in specialty coatings to improve flexibility, adhesion, and weatherability.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acids, Linseed-Oil, Epoxidized, 2-Ethylhexyl Esters are manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent performance and compliance with industry specifications. Key parameters such as epoxy value, acid value, iodine value, and color are strictly monitored. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and quality assurance.

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 product is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., under nitrogen) is recommended. Keep away from strong acids and organic solvents.
