Epoxidized jojoba oil as a stabilizer for vinyl chloride containing plastics

Abstract
Summary: Epoxidized jojoba oil has been evaluated as a light and heat stabilizer for vinyl chloride containing plastics and its properties, intercompared with those of other epoxides representative of three major classes of oxirane stabilizers. The results obtained show that epoxidized jojoba oil is a satisfactory thermal and ultraviolet stabilizer for both TCP and DOP plasticized stocks and has no adverse effects on the plasticizer properties of these materials. In general, epoxidized jojoba oil was found to be equivalent to or, in some instances, superior to the other epoxides tested.
