RAINPLAST-R-64SEC PLAST

RAINPLAST-R-64 Epoxidized soybean oil adds a new dimension to improvements in epoxidized soybean oils. High oxirane efficiency from specially processed soybean oil produces a total compatibility and stabilization performance which is second to none and superior to many present and past commercial products. Epoxidized oils have been marketed for over three decades. Early products were deficient due to high residual iodine value of the finished epoxide which ranged from 20-25. Thought to be a substitute for DOP, they were misapplied resulting in early spew or exudation. It was discovered over the next few years that to achieve approximately ninety-five percent of the total compatibility potential, iodine value reduction to approximately 5-7, was a necessity. It was found that below an iodine value of three, no absolute compatibility correlation using artificial or natural exposures could be made due to other variables such as hydroxyl value, viscosity, polymerization effects, and base soybean oil. The only economically unaffected area for improved performance lies in raw material improvements and selection.

RAINPLAST-R-64 epoxidized soybean oil utilizes only the highest iodine value, lowest saturate soybean oil available in the country, reducing the probability of random highly saturated triglycerides adversely affecting formulation compatibility. Epoxy soybean oils have been found to be the best value of all stabilizing additives. They have been accepted as a standard industry formulation tool, effecting cost reductions and improving performance in heat and light stability over those systems previously employing only metallic stabilizers. No other additive enjoys such universal acceptance for all types of vinyl compound.

RAINPLAST-R-64 epoxidized soybean oil functions as the most effective known synergist to metallic stabilizer compounds in vinyl systems. At the same time, RAINPLAST-R-64 epoxidized soybean oil functions as a true polymeric type plasticizer by adding flexibility and retarding volatilization, extraction, and migration due to its high molecular weig ht.
