The epoxidation process forms an “oxirane” which is a three-member ring with one oxygen and two carbons. The oxygen is in position one, and the carbon atoms are in two and three. This angle puts considerable strain on the molecule resulting in a very reactive and useful molecule. NILPAC-HOX offers an economic benefit with superior dual functionality in all flexible vinyl compounds utilizing a natural and renewable raw material.

Character
NON Toxic
Heat Stability
- Heat Stability and Weather resistance
- The synergistic effect can be expected in the case of the combination with metal series stabilizers. Thanks to the capability of the active epoxy ring to catch HCL and its antioxidation effect against degradation. After heating and light exposure, the cross-linking among PVC molecules can be minimized. Namely, the big-scale enhancement in both heat stability and weather resistance for PVC products can be expected.
Good in Non-Migration
- Low I.V., Good in non-migration resistance and extraction resistance
- Low I.V., good compatibility with PVC plasticizers, it therefore provides good performancei n non-migration and extraction resistance
Water Resistance
- Water-resistance, Oil-resistance, and Low loss in transparency.
Low Volatility
- Low volatility and High molecule plasticizer
- Much lower in volatility than DOP (about 20% of DOP), it provides better stability in PVC flexibility. With about M.W. 1000, NILPAC can be regarded as a good plasticizer in PVC processing

Storage, Safety, Packing
Storage and Transportation
- Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place.
- This material is not hazardous under normal storage conditions; however, the material should be stored in closed containers, in a secure area to prevent container damage and subsequent spillage. It is recommended that containers be raised above the floor or ground during extended storage periods to prevent container corrosion due to standing water.
Safety
- Skin contact may cause irritation, especially to those skin-allergic people. If contacted, wash off contamination with soap and water, seek medical attention if irritation persists.
- If eye contact, rinse for 15 minutes minimum with a gentle water stream, obtain medical attention if the symptoms persist
Packing
- NILPAC epoxidized soybean oil is available in 200 kg HDPE/IRON drum
