DESCRIPTION

Description



Basic properties


The molecular formula of 2-ethylhexanol is C8H18O. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a special smell. 2-ethylhexanol is soluble in about 720 times water and is mutually soluble with most organic solvents. It is mainly used in the production of plasticizer, defoaming agent, dispersant, dressing agent and oil filling agent, also used in printing and dyeing, paint, film and other aspects.



Production


1. Acetaldehyde condensation method

2. Carbonyl synthesis

3. Ethanol condensation

4. Rhodium catalyst for heptene process

5. Other methods



Toxicity and security


Category: Flammable liquid

Toxicity grade: toxic

Acute toxicity: oral - rat LD50: 3730 mg/kg; Oral - Mouse LD50: 2500 mg/kg

Irritation data: Skin -- rabbit 500 mg / 24 h moderate; Eye - Rabbit 20mg / 24h medium

Explosive hazard: Explosive when mixed with air

Flammability hazard characteristics: flammable in case of open fire, high temperature, strong oxidant; Combustion emissions stimulate smoke


If the 2-ethylhexanol container is heated, the internal pressure increases, and there is danger of cracking and explosion. 2-ethylhexanol can form explosive mixtures with air. 2-ethylhexanol vapor can be ignited by static electricity.



APPLICATION

Application


·  2-ethylhexanol is mainly used in the production of plasticizer. The main products are: dioctyl phthalate (DOP), dioctyl glycolate (DOA), trioctyl triphenyltriate (TOTM), as well as phthalate, azelelic acid, sebacic acid and other binary carboxylic acid ester plasticizer and cold resistant auxiliary plasticizer.

·  2-ethylhexanol can be used as a defoamer of white latex, but its ability to break bubbles and inhibit bubbles is poor.

·  When 2-ethylhexanol is used to configure the mixed solvent of nitro spray paint, it can prevent the paint film from turning white.

·  2-ethylhexanol is an excellent solvent, can be used for paper sizing, latex and photography.

·  2-ethylhexanol is also used in the production of surfactants, dispersants, lubricants, emulsifiers, antioxidants, dressing agents, mercerizing agents and petroleum additives.

·  2-ethylhexanol is a permitted flavoring and is commonly used in baked goods, frozen dairy products and puddings.
