2-Ethylhexanol (abbreviated 2-EH) is a branched, eight-carbon chiral alcohol. It is a colorless liquid that is poorly soluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents. It is produced on a massive scale (>2,000,000,000 kg/y) for use in numerous applications such as solvents, flavors, and fragrances and especially as a precursor for production of other chemicals such as emollients and plasticizers. It is encountered in plants, fruits, and wines. The odor has been reported as "heavy, earthy, and slightly floral" for the R enantiomer and "a light, sweet floral fragrance" for the S enantiomer.

Application

1. Used in production of plasticizer, defoaming agent, dispersant, antioxidant, mineral dressing agent and petroleum additive, also used in printing and dyeing, paint, film, etc.The main

2. Ester plasticizer and cold-resistant auxiliary plasticizer used to manufacture binary carboxylic acids such as phthalic acid, azelaic acid and sebacic acid.Do nitro paint mixed solvent can prevent the film white.

Application

2-ethylhexyl alcohol is commonly called octanol in the neighborhood of plasticizer, which is an important chemical raw material. Octanol is not only used in the production of plasticizers, but also in the production of octyl acrylic acid or surfactants.
It can be mainly used in the production of dioctyl phthalate (dop), dioctyl glycol (doa), trioctyl metaphthalate (totm),. Other Plasticizers, octyl Acrylate, Surfactants, Lubricating Oil Additives, Mining, diesel fuel Additives, solvents and dispensing, antirust Esters, other Chemicals. Octanol itself is a useful solvent, antifoam agent, dispersing agent, lubricant, its series of products are mainly dioctyl phthalate and octyl acrylic acid. Dioctyl phthalate produced from octanol is the main plasticizer of pvc, and the consumption of pvc accounts for about 95% of its total consumption.

Properties and applications

The branching in 2-ethylhexanol inhibits crystallization. Esters of 2-ethylhexanol are similarly affected, which together with low volatility, is the basis of applications in the production of plasticizers and lubricants, where its presence helps reduce viscosity and lower freezing points. Because 2-ethylhexanol is a fatty alcohol, its esters have emollient properties. Representative is the diester bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), commonly used in PVC. The triester tris (2-Ethylhexyl) trimellitate (TOTM) is another common plasticizer produced via the esterification of three 2-ethylhexanol per trimellitic acid.

It is also commonly used as a low volatility solvent. 2-Ethylhexanol can also be used as a cetane number booster when reacted with nitric acid. It also used to react with epichlorohydrin and sodium hydroxide to produce the glycidyl ether of the molecule which is used as an epoxy reactive diluent in various coatings, adhesives and sealants applications. It can be used in the development of photos, production of rubber and extraction of oil and gas.

Application Guide:

2-ethyl hexanol is mainly used in the system of phthalic acid ester and aliphatic dibasic acid esters plasticizer such as DOP, DOTP and DOS etc. which were used as primary plasticizer and plastic hardy plasticizer, defoaming agent, dispersant, dressing agent and oil filling agent, also used in printing and dyeing, paint, film, etc.
