Description
Application
2-Ethyl-1-hexanol is extensively used in the production of plasticizers such as dioctyl phthalate (DOP) and other ester plasticizers that improve the flexibility of plastics especially PVC. It is used as a raw material in the manufacture of acrylates and methacrylates for paints coatings adhesives and inks. It serves as a solvent in coatings resins varnishes and printing inks due to its favorable evaporation characteristics.
Purpose
The primary purpose of 2-Ethyl-1-hexanol is to serve as a chemical building block for the manufacture of plasticizers solvents coatings and various specialty chemicals.
General Description
2-Ethyl-1-hexanol is a branched-chain eight-carbon primary alcohol that exhibits low volatility good solvency and compatibility with many organic compounds.
