Epoxidized flaxseed oil
Epoxidized linseed oil is a bio-based epoxide derived from linseed oil. It is used in industry as a plasticizer, stabilizer, and reactive component in applications such as PVC systems, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and composite reformulations. Thanks to its combination of renewable origin and functional epoxide groups, it is suitable for formulations in which processability and material stability are important.
The product is highly compatible with various polymers and contributes to the flexibility, processability, and chemical stability of the final product. The epoxide groups present can bind acids and degradation products, which—particularly in PVC applications—helps limit thermal degradation and support the material’s service life. In addition, epoxidized linseed oil can positively influence the viscosity and processing behavior of formulations.
For industrial buyers and formulation specialists, epoxidized linseed oil offers a functional raw material for applications that require an epoxide with plasticizing and stabilizing properties. The product is suitable for formulations designed to ensure reliable processing, consistent product quality, and a balance between technical performance and bio-based raw materials.
