Epoxidized soybean oil

The question is.... Can I run this stuff? I just picked it up, and the guy told me it was soy bean oil. Now come to find out it is Epoxidized soybean oil... So help me out guys, can I make this stuff work?

That was my gut reaction. Since then I have done some research, and found that the flash point is actually lower than that of vegetable oil (which I currently run). I dunno, might do some testing to see what heat does to it..
