Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a plasticizer composition, polymeric compositions containing the plasticizer composition, and coated conductors comprising the polymeric composition. The plasticizer composition comprises an epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester having an APHA color value of less than 100, a triepoxide content of at least 6.5 weight percent, and an oxirane oxygen content of at least 5 grams oxirane per 100 grams of epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester.
Claims10
A plasticizer composition, comprising:
- an epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester,
- wherein said epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester has an APHA color value of less than 100,
- wherein said epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester has a triepoxide content of at least 6.5 weight percent based on the entire weight of said epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester,
- wherein said epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester has an oxirane oxygen content of at least 5 grams oxirane per 100 grams of epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester.
1 more element
A process for producing a plasticizer composition, said process comprising:
- (a) providing a distilled fatty acid alkyl ester;
- and
- (b) subjecting said distilled fatty acid alkyl ester to an epoxidation process to thereby produce an epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester,
- wherein said epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester has a color value of less than 100 APHA,
- wherein said epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester has a triepoxide content of at least 6.5 weight percent based on the entire weight of said epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester,
- wherein said epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester has an oxirane oxygen content of at least 5 grams oxirane per 100 grams of epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester.
