Epoxidized Soya Bean Oil

Soybean oil epoxide is a versatile building block with many applications in the chemical industry. It can be used as a reagent for the synthesis of complex compounds, and is useful as an intermediate in the production of high-quality specialty chemicals. Soybean oil epoxide is also an important reactant in organic synthesis, where it can be used to form a variety of scaffolds that are structurally diverse but functionally equivalent. It has been shown to have good stability and high purity, making it a valuable commodity in the research chemical industry.

Soybean oil epoxide is a fatty acid that is used as an inhibitor for epoxy resins. It is created by the reaction of a polybasic acid with unsaturated fatty acids in soybean oil. The epoxide value of soybean oil epoxide is greater than 6% and it has a high resistance to thermal expansion. Soybean oil epoxide reacts with metal hydroxides to form metal soaps, which are insoluble in water. Soybean oil epoxide also inhibits the production of proteinases by binding to receptors on cells, thereby preventing cell growth.
