China and the United States are the leading exporters of epoxidized soya bean oil, together accounting for a majority of global shipments, while Germany, South Korea, and Mexico represent the largest importers. Epoxidized soya bean oil prices have remained relatively stable amid steady cross-border flows. Exports from China have expanded modestly over the past three years, while U.S. export volumes have held steady, and European imports—particularly by Germany—have shown consistent demand growth.
Epoxidized soya bean oil (ESBO) is a pale yellow to amber, viscous liquid with a mild characteristic odor and low volatility; it is non-volatile, non-crystalline, and has no defined melting or boiling point due to its oligomeric nature. It is classified as a bio-based polymeric epoxide and functions primarily as a reactive plasticizer and stabilizer. ESBO is widely used as a secondary stabilizer in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) formulations, where it synergizes with primary heat stabilizers such as calcium–zinc or barium–cadmium systems. Its principal applications are in flexible and rigid PVC products—including wire and cable insulation, flooring, packaging films, and medical tubing—where it imparts thermal stability, compatibility, and migration resistance.
Soybean Oil Epoxide is frequently used as an additive during poly(vinyl chloride) preparation, displacing harmful phthalates. Soybean Oil Epoxide has also been modified for lubricant formulations with improved oxidative stability and low pour point.
Iodine number maximum of 6, oxirane oxygen minimum of 6.0%.
