Conclusion | Type I | |||
1. For Plasticizer Production: 2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH, CAS 104-76-7) is the key alcohol raw material for ester plasticizers such as DOP, DOTP, TOTM and DOA, delivering excellent compatibility and low volatility for flexible PVC in cables, flooring, films and automotive applications.
2. For 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate (2-EHA): As the alcohol precursor for 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, 2-EH supports the production of acrylate monomers used in pressure-sensitive adhesives, coatings and polymer dispersions.
3. For Coatings & Inks Solvents: 2-Ethylhexanol serves as a coalescing and coupling solvent in paints, industrial coatings and printing inks, improving film formation, flow and gloss in solvent-borne systems.
4. For Diesel Additives & Cetane Improvers: 2-EH is a precursor for 2-ethylhexyl nitrate (2-EHN), a widely used cetane improver that enhances ignition quality of diesel fuel in transportation and industrial applications.
5. For Surfactants & Lubricant Additives: As an intermediate for sulfated surfactants and lubricant additives, 2-EH supports metalworking fluids, emulsifiers and performance additives for industrial applications.
6. Consistent Quality For Global Industry: Supplied as high-purity colorless liquid with consistent assay and low water content, 2-EH gives plasticizer, acrylate, coating, fuel-additive and surfactant manufacturers a dependable oxo alcohol with flexible packaging and stable supply.
