2-Ethylhexanol CAS 104-76-7 Fuel Additives For Mining and Diesel Engines

2-Ethylhexanol, also known as 2-EH, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H18O. It is an organic compound belonging to the class of alcohols. The compound consists of a linear eight-carbon chain (hexyl) with an ethyl group attached to the second carbon atom.

2-Ethylhexanol is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents. This compound is primarily used as a precursor in the production of various chemicals, such as plasticizers, coatings, and synthetic lubricants.

Due to its low volatility and ability to modify the viscosity and flexibility of materials, 2-Ethylhexanol is commonly used as a plasticizer in the manufacturing of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other polymers. It helps to improve the durability, flexibility, and processability of these materials.

Furthermore, 2-Ethylhexanol is utilized as a raw material in the synthesis of esters, which find applications in the production of fragrances, flavors, and cosmetics. Additionally, it serves as a solvent in various industrial processes, including paint and ink formulations.

Although 2-Ethylhexanol is generally considered to have low toxicity, it should still be handled with care. It is important to follow proper safety precautions and guidelines when working with this compound, including using protective equipment and ensuring adequate ventilation.
