Description

2-Ethylhexnol is an oxo alcohol that is a colorless liquid having solubility in organic solvents with poor solubility in water. 2-Ethylhexnol is mostly used in the production of phthalate plasticizers which are widely utilized in the automotive, construction, and appliance industries. As a fatty acid, its esters have emollient properties and are used in skin care products. 2-Ethylhexnol has numerous applications such as a solvent in the paint and varnishes industries, dispersing agent for pigment pastes, a wetting agent in the textile industry, a cetane number-improving agent in the refining industry, and also in the production of coat-forming and antifoam agents.
