Epoxidized linseed oil ToySafe™ is a specialized bio‑based plasticizer and stabilizer designed for safe use in PVC toy applications. Produced from renewable linseed oil through controlled epoxidation, epoxidized linseed oil ToySafe™ offers excellent compatibility with soft PVC, delivering the required flexibility, elasticity, and long‑term durability for products such as balls, dolls, bath toys, teethers, inflatable toys, and flexible toy components. By replacing conventional petroleum‑derived plasticizers, especially phthalate types, epoxidized linseed oil ToySafe™ significantly reduces potential health risks for children and infants.
In PVC formulations, epoxidized linseed oil ToySafe™ exhibits very low migration, which means it is far less likely to leach out of the toy surface during chewing, sucking, or prolonged skin contact. This low migration behavior, together with its non‑toxic nature and high chemical stability, helps ensure that toys remain safe throughout their entire service life. Epoxidized linseed oil ToySafe™ also improves the thermal and light stability of PVC, helping to prevent discoloration and degradation that could otherwise lead to the formation of harmful by‑products.
From an environmental standpoint, epoxidized linseed oil ToySafe™ supports a more sustainable PVC toy value chain. Its renewable origin lowers dependence on finite fossil resources and can help reduce the overall carbon footprint of toy production. In addition, the good processing stability and low volatility of epoxidized linseed oil ToySafe™ contribute to cleaner manufacturing conditions, with reduced emissions and odors in production facilities.
By combining safety, performance, and sustainability, epoxidized linseed oil ToySafe™ enables PVC toy manufacturers to meet strict international toy safety standards and to supply products that are harmless to children and more friendly to the environment.
