PVC Calendering

IIf you put all the ESO back again, does the line speed up again? If so, don't mess about with it again. If it doesn't, then the reduction in speed has nothing to do with the ESO.

You have changed the formulation. Why would you, except to make a cheaper product to increase your profits?

You have changed the physical properties of the melt and the end product.

Why would you do this, if not for profit?

For some strange reason DINP has a higher allowed value of oral intake than does ESBO (ESO). I suspect both act as endocrine mimics, just IMHO. Apparently food container (glass jars with metal lid) has a PVC seal (apparently the soft kind), that contains both compounds, and this leaches into food, so isn't that appealing?

On the other hand, moldy pickles are not all that appealing either, nor is moldy sour kraut.

From what I could gather by googling this stuff (that I really know next to nothing about), it appears the ESO is the winner as it scavenges hydrochloric acid from PVC thermal decomposition. Precisely how it scavenges? Possibly through nucleophilic substitution reaction at the epoxidic sites of the soybean oil that displaces the epoxide oxygen, and replaces it with chloride, making the oil that was once a natural oil into a chlorinated organic compound. Want some of that with those fries?
