What Is 2-Ethylhexanol?
2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH), CAS 104-76-7, C8H18O, molecular weight 130.23 g/mol, is a branched C8 alcohol. Its main use is making plasticizers such as DOP, DOTP and TOTM, and it is also the feedstock for 2-ethylhexyl acrylate and other esters for coatings, adhesives, fuels and lubricants.
The TDS specifies purity ≥99.50%, water ≤0.05% and acidity as acetic acid ≤0.01%, with limits on aldehydes and sulfuric-acid colour that affect ester colour.
2-EH is a combustible liquid that irritates skin, eyes and the respiratory tract. It ships as UN 3334, Class 9, packing group III by air and as non-dangerous goods under IMDG.
As a 2-ethylhexanol supplier and exporter in China, ZXCHEM ships the clear liquid in 170 kg drums or ISO tanks.
