EFAME
-
Type:
Epoxy fatty acid methyl ester
-
Molecular:
C19H36O3
-
CAS NO:
6084-76-0

Introduction:
Epoxy Fatty Acid Methyl Ester(EFAME) is colorless or yellowish transparent liquid,its main raw material is plant oil,and it can replace primary plasticizers, such as DOTP, DOP, DBP, DINP, TBC, etc.
Application:
EFAME has excellent compatibility with PVC resin. It improves the physical properties of the product and prolongs the aging time obviously, and enjoys good synergistic effect with the metal stabilizers such as barium, cadmium, zinc. EFAME is widely used in PVC calendering film,PVC foaming artificial leather, garment leather, wire and cables, disposable PVC gloves, children toys, infusion tube, medical appliance, refrigerator seals, food packaging film, flooring leather, advertising cloth, recycled plastic granules etc. EFAME has excellent lubricity, compatibility, dispersion, can be used as surfactant, dispersant for epoxy coatings, epoxy resins etc.

Features :
1. Eco-friendly and non-toxic: It passed SGS testing, can meet the environmental requirements of the EU.
2. High flash point: It is not easy to volatilize and will not occur flash explosion at foaming equipment with high flash point.
3. Color: It is yellowish or colorless, will not affect the transparent PVC products.
4. Epoxy value: The higher epoxy value, the higher plasticizing effect. It can increase replacement percentage, to reduce the production cost of PVC products.
5. No odor: EFAME is odorless during our years of research and development,it can improve the PVC products quality .
6. It makes the PVC products brighter and softer by adding EFAME.
7. It has low volatility, good compatibility, good stability to light and heat, can reduce the amount of stabilizer.
8. Plasticizing efficiency is higher than DOP, it can reduce the total amount of plasticizer.
Usage:
The epoxy fatty acid methyl ester has good compatibility with PVC resin, and the plasticizing effect is obvious.The addition of epoxy fatty acid methyl ester can obviously improve the physical properties of the products, prolong the aging time, and have good synergistic effects with the metal stabilizers such as barium, cadmium and zinc.Epoxy fatty acid methyl ester is widely used in PVC foam PVC calendering film, artificial leather, garment leather, wire and cable, disposable PVC gloves, children’s toys, infusion tube, medical equipment, refrigerator seals, food packaging film, floor leather, advertising cloth, recycled plastic granules for products.At the same time, epoxy fatty acid methyl ester has good lubricity, compatibility and dispersion. It can also be used as surfactant and dispersant in epoxy coating, epoxy resin and other industries.
