Epoxidized soybean oil can be added to chewing gum as a softener to optimize mouthfeel. The softener, also known as plasticizer and plasticizer, is generally added in an amount of about 5% to 15% by weight. Elastomer plasticizers used in epoxy soybean oil for the production of chewing gum include triglyceride acetate, EPSO, lecithin, and their complex components. Compared with other plasticizers, epoxidized soybean oil has the advantages of almost no toxicity and low price.
Biodegradable agricultural film
ESO can be polymerized with citric acid to form a polyester coating on kraft paper for the manufacture of biodegradable agricultural films. This coating increases the wet strength of the paper and reduces the rate of paper degradation.
Environmentally friendly plasticizers can be used for biopolymers. The properties of biopolymers can be improved to make them more flexible and/or to change flow properties. Most biopolymers can use a large number of environmentally friendly plasticizers. Including glycerol, triglyceride acetate, epoxy oil ester, etc.
The growing demand for petroleum-based polymer materials has led to the depletion of petroleum. The development of cheap, biodegradable polymer materials is a supplement to the development of oil-based polymer materials, which can expand and develop a diversified bio-oil market, while improving the environment and reducing dependence on petroleum products. Epoxidized soybean oil is used as a plasticizer for rubber, and it can be a material that is not extracted from petroleum, whether it is synthetic or natural, and can be used with plasticizer functions. The plasticizer also includes derivatives of these compounds.
