Abstract

, soybean, etc., which are transesterified with an alcohol such as ethylic or methylic, in the presence of a catalyst such as sodium methoxide or sodium hydroxide in order to produce an alkylic esters mixture of the fatty acids that were present in the oil or oil mixture used as raw material in the epoxydized oil production. When the plasticizer obtained by the process already mentioned is used for the formulation of moldable poly(vinyl chloride), PVC, resins; the resulting plastic films get adequate hardness, static and dynamic thermal stability, and plasticizer extractability by solvents, such as n-hexane, gasoline and oil. Besides, when the PVC resin is formulated with a phthalic or terephthalic plasticizers mixture and the bioplasticizer, the bioplasticizer presents a full range solubility and or compatibility with the remainder of the resin compounds. The oxyrane chemical ring of the bioplasticizer is an excellent chemical neutralizer of the HCL that might be formed from the PVC, due to the action or interference of thermal or UV radiation.
