Epoxidized linseed oil AutoFlex™ is a high‑performance, bio‑based plasticizer and stabilizer designed for PVC automotive interior materials that must balance safety, comfort, and long‑term aesthetics. Produced in China from renewable linseed oil through a controlled epoxidation process, epoxidized linseed oil AutoFlex™ delivers excellent compatibility with PVC used in dashboard skins, door panels, PVC leather, decorative films, interior trim, and soft‑touch components.
In automotive interiors, epoxidized linseed oil AutoFlex™ provides efficient plasticization, giving PVC surfaces durable softness, flexibility, and good scratch resistance. Its strong thermal and UV stability helps materials resist heat aging, discoloration, and embrittlement under prolonged sun exposure and elevated cabin temperatures. As a result, panels and skins maintain their original appearance, gloss, and tactile feel throughout the vehicle’s service life, even in demanding climates.
A key benefit of epoxidized linseed oil AutoFlex™ is its contribution to low emissions and improved in‑cabin air quality. Compared with conventional fossil‑based and phthalate plasticizers, this bio‑based alternative features low volatility and low migration, helping reduce VOC emissions, plasticizer fogging, and unpleasant interior odor. Its excellent anti‑fogging performance on PVC surfaces adjacent to glazing supports clear visibility on instrument panels and interior panels, enhancing both driver safety and comfort.
From a sustainability standpoint, epoxidized linseed oil AutoFlex™ leverages a renewable raw material base while supporting low‑VOC, low‑odor interior designs that comply with stringent automotive regulations and OEM specifications. Its broad compatibility with PVC, polyurethane, and elastomer systems gives formulators flexibility to design integrated, eco‑friendly interior solutions. By combining emission control, durability, and environmental responsibility, epoxidized linseed oil AutoFlex™ enables next‑generation PVC automotive interiors that are safer for occupants, more pleasant to ride in, and aligned with the global shift toward greener mobility.
