SPECIFICATION

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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About 2-Ethylhexanol

What is 2-Ethylhexanol?

2-Ethylhexanol is a branched-chain primary alcohol (C8H18O) produced from butanal hydroformylation, valued for its role in plasticizer esters and as a low-volatility solvent in industrial blends.

What are the primary uses of 2-Ethylhexanol?

It is mainly used in manufacturing plasticizers for PVC, solvents for coatings and inks, lubricants for engines, and additives for diesel fuels, with additional roles in cosmetics and fragrances.

Is 2-Ethylhexanol safe for industrial handling?

It poses low to moderate toxicity risks, causing skin/eye irritation or respiratory discomfort if mishandled, but is non-carcinogenic and safe when used with proper PPE and ventilation.

How should 2-Ethylhexanol be stored to maintain stability?

Keep in tightly sealed containers at temperatures below 40°C in a dry, well-ventilated space, stabilized with inhibitors to avoid oxidation; shelf life extends up to 24 months under ideal conditions.

Can 2-Ethylhexanol be used in eco-friendly applications?

Yes, its low volatility aids in low-VOC formulations for green coatings, and recyclable esters support circular economy practices in plastics recycling.

What is the difference between 2-Ethylhexanol and n-Octanol?

2-Ethylhexanol's branching provides better low-temperature fluidity and crystallization resistance compared to straight-chain n-octanol, making it superior for plasticizers and lubricants.

Does 2-Ethylhexanol have environmental impacts?

It biodegrades readily (OECD 301B >60% in 28 days) with low aquatic toxicity (LC50 >100 mg/L), but spills should be contained to prevent soil contamination.
