Product Description
2-Ethylhexanol (C8H18O) is a colorless, slightly oily liquid with a characteristic odor. It has a low vapor pressure and high boiling point. Soluble in organic solvents but only slightly soluble in water. It is primarily used as an important intermediate in the production of plasticizers.
Why Choose It?
- Plasticizer feedstock: Used in the production of phthalate esters and other plasticizers. Benefit: Provides flexibility, durability, and longevity in PVC products.
- Low volatility: High boiling point prevents rapid evaporation. Benefit: Safer handling, longer storage, and product stability.
- Versatile solvent: Effective in paints, coatings, and adhesives. Benefit: Ensures homogeneous blends and superior product performance.
- High purity: Reliable for industrial production processes. Benefit: Meets quality standards, increasing customer satisfaction.
Applications
- Plastics: Production of plasticizers for PVC and other polymers.
- Paints & Coatings: Solvent and additive component.
- Adhesives & Sealants: Enhances flexibility in formulations.
- Chemicals: Intermediate for ester derivatives.
- Agriculture: Component in pesticide and herbicide formulations.
