VIKOFLEX 7170

Vikoflex 7170 epoxidized soybean oil provides excellent plasticization efficiency and co-stabilization of PVC flexible and semi-rigid compounds, as well as other thermoplastics, rubbers and elastomers. It acts as an effective acid and mercaptan scavenger. It is used as a viscosity modifier and reactive diluent in various polymers including epoxy, polyurethane, UV curing resins, acrylic and PVA emulsions, and solvent-borne alkyds and polyesters. Vioflex 7170 product is FDA approved for certain food contact applications, subject to limitations.
Applications: Plasticization of PVC flexible and semi-rigid compounds; Heat and light stabilization of flexible, semi-rigid and rigid PVC compounds; Grinding liquid for pigment dispersions; Acid acceptance in chlorinated hydrocarbons, phosphoric acid esters, and natural resins; Plasticization of PVC and PVA emulsions; Plasticization of chlorinated rubber, nitrocellulose, and neoprene; Acid scavenging in soy-based ink compounds, lubricating oils and cutting oils; Chemical intermediate for polyols and polyester
