2 Ethyl Hexanol
2-Ethyl Hexanol A clear, high-boiling point and low volatiity solvent with a characteristic color.
Manufacturing of PVC, Plasticizers, Antifoam Agents, Solvents, etc.
2-Ethyl Hexanol (2-EH) is a clear high-boiling point and low volatility solvent, uniform, nontoxic liquid with a characteristic odor, insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvent. It is obtained indirectly in OXO synthesis from propylene (C3H6) and synthesis gas (CO + H2)
It is also known as Octanol (C8 alcohol)
• Readily forms esters with various acids
• Very limited miscibility with water
• Low volatility solvent
• Enhances flow and gloss in baking finishes
• Non-HAP (Hazardous Air Pollutant) Solvent
