  • What is epoxidized soybean oil?
  • 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...
  • How big is the epoxidized soybean oil market?
  • The epoxidized soybean oil market is projected to grow from USD 494 million in 2023 to USD 648 million in 2028 at a CAGR of 5.6%. The global Epoxidized Soybean Oil (ESBO) industry is undergoing significant growth, driven by its wide range applications and the rising demand for sustainable alternatives.
  • What is epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO)?
  • Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa). ?) Epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) is a collection of organic compounds obtained from the epoxidation of soybean oil. It is used as a plasticizer and stabilizer in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics. ESBO is a yellowish viscous liquid.
  • Who are the leading players in epoxidized soybean oil market?
  • CHS Inc. (US), Galata Chemicals LLC (US), Cargill (US), Nan Ya Plastics Corporation (Taiwan), and Adeka Corporation (Japan) are among the leading players operating in the epoxidized soybean oil market. These players have adopted various growth strategies to strengthen their position in the market.
  • How is soybean oil made?
  • Crude soybean oil is extracted from the beans, and then further refined into food-grade soybean oil, or Savorysoy ®. It can then be further refined into an epoxidized soybean oil, or PlastiSoy ®. The meal created from the crushing process goes on to be used by local livestock farmers. Soybean hulls that are also used as animal feed.
  • How does epoxidized soybean oil affect oxirane value?
  • Because epoxidized soybean oil is synthesized from the bio-based, renewable resource of soybean crops, the level of saturation of the soybean oil and ultimately the oxirane value of the ESO created from it, is dependent on the growing conditions of the soybeans.
