PLASTICIZER FOR COLOR RETENTION DURING HEAT AGING

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to a plasticizer, a polymeric composition containing the plasticizer, and conductors coated with the polymeric composition. The plasticizer includes a blend of an epoxidized soybean oil and a trans-esterified epoxidized fatty acid methyl ester. The trans-esterified epoxidized fatty acid methyl ester has an oxirane value greater than or equal to 6.8 %. The plasticizer, the polymeric composition, and the coated conductor retain color during heat aging.
