Description

Epoxidized Linseed Oil CAS NO 8016-11-3 is a bio-based, reactive chemical intermediate derived from natural linseed oil through an epoxidation process. This versatile compound serves as a primary plasticizer and stabilizer, imparting flexibility and heat/light resistance to polymer formulations. It is an essential raw material for manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and adhesives industries seeking sustainable, non-phthalate alternatives.

Application

• Primary plasticizer and stabilizer for Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and other polymers.
• Key component in the formulation of flexible and calendered PVC products such as films, sheets, and flooring.
• Stabilizing agent and secondary plasticizer in adhesive and sealant systems.
• Reactive diluent and modifier in epoxy resin and specialty coating formulations.
• Intermediate for the synthesis of polyols used in polyurethane foams and elastomers.
• Additive in lubricants and functional fluids to enhance performance characteristics.
• Used in the production of biodegradable polymers and composite materials.
