2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH) is a clear, colorless branched-chain alcohol used as a low-volatility solvent and chemical intermediate. The commercial specification below is designed for plasticizer, acrylate, coating, surfactant, and lubricant applications.
2-EH is primarily used to produce plasticizers such as DEHP for flexible PVC products, including cables and flooring. It is also used to synthesize acrylate esters for weather-resistant paints and adhesives. Other uses include low-volatility solvent systems and intermediates for surfactants and lubricants.
