Özet: As reported in recent reviews and books, vegetable-based oils have been utilized for centuries in the manufacturing of inks, coatings, agrochemicals, plasticizers, and lubricants. Lately, epoxidized vegetable-based oils are having larger interest as they are obtained from renewable, sustainable natural sources and are environment-friendly. Epoxidized vegetable-based oil can act as a feedstock for synthesis of chemicals’ diversity including lubricants, carbonyl compound, glycol, polyols, plasticizers for polymerization etc. due to their oxirane ring’s high reactivity and significant oxirane oxygen content. At the same time, epoxidized vegetable-based oil has the potential to turn into a principal sustainable raw material in regards to the beneficial environmental effects. The environmental effects of general properties are different as in the case of the accumulated ecological effects from epoxidized vegetable-based oil plantation through refining to manufacture each of vegetable-based oils. In this study, comparison of eight different epoxidized vegetable oils in terms of ten factors is analyzed with multi-criteria decision making model. The primary factors (acid value, iodine value, oxirane value, thermal conductivity coefficient, density, boiling point, ignition point, viscosity, resin, and cross-linker) of general properties of epoxidized oil manufactured from vegetable-based oil are evaluated.  The most environment-friendly epoxidized vegetable-based oil is determined.
