CAS: 8013-07-8
A epoxidized Soybean Oil product with a different chemical structure than the oil, which makes it more stable and operational in a wide array of applications, thereby setting it apart from other plasticisers in its class. ESO – the molecule – is important because of its multiple uses that make it a suitable replacement for conventional petroleum-based additives. Over the years, it has been prominently featured in news articles about the benefits of green chemistry or sustainable practices, with the lubricants and greases sector being one of the primary examples.
