What is E Prime 38?

E Prime 38 is an advanced plasticizer designed for rigid PVC formulations. It is a 100% alternative to Epoxidized Soybean Oil (ESBO) and also functions effectively as a superior plasticizer — either alone or in combination with primary plasticizers.

Can E Prime 38 fully replace ESBO?

Yes. E Prime 38 provides 100% replacement for ESBO in rigid PVC formulations — without compromising performance.

What is the recommended dosage of E Prime 38?

The recommended dosage is equal to or lower than ESBO, depending on the formulation. Compounders can often use less of E Prime 38 than the equivalent ESBO dose.

Can E Prime 38 be used with primary plasticizers?

Yes. E Prime 38 can be used alone or in combination with primary plasticizers — giving formulators full flexibility.

Is E Prime 38 cost-effective compared to ESBO?

Yes. E Prime 38 is cost-effective compared to ESBO without compromising performance — and because it’s manufactured in India, it isn’t exposed to the soybean oil price volatility that affects ESBO.

Does E Prime 38 improve processability of rigid PVC?

Yes. E Prime 38 improves the processability of rigid PVC formulations during extrusion and moulding.

Does E Prime 38 eliminate the handling problems of liquid plasticizers?

Yes. E Prime 38 is supplied in solid bag form, eliminating the handling and spillage issues associated with liquid plasticizers like ESBO.

What is ESBO and why is E Prime 38 replacing it?

ESBO (Epoxidized Soybean Oil) is a traditional secondary plasticizer and co-stabiliser used in PVC formulations. It comes with three pain points: soybean oil price volatility, liquid handling and spillage issues, and dependence on imported or commodity-tracked feedstock. E Prime 38 solves all three.

How is E Prime 38 supplied?

E Prime 38 is supplied in 25 kg bags and should be stored in normal, dry conditions.

Which polymers is E Prime 38 compatible with?

E Prime 38 is specifically designed for rigid PVC formulations.

Is E Prime 38 manufactured in India?

Yes. E Prime 38 is manufactured in India by Vin Group, an ISO 9001:2015 certified plastic and rubber additive manufacturer operating since 1997.
