Features Of Eastman 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid Solvent

  1. High-purity, low-color liquid with excellent solvency for metal carboxylates and organometallic compounds.

  2. Low water content (<0.1%) ensures consistent performance in moisture-sensitive catalytic and coating formulations.

  3. Controlled acidity (acid number 220–228 mg KOH/g) enables precise reactivity tuning in metal soap synthesis.

  4. Good thermal stability supports high-temperature processing in polymerization and catalyst preparation.

  5. Consistent batch-to-batch quality meeting Eastman’s stringent manufacturing specifications.

Typical Applications Of Eastman 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid Solvent

  1. Synthesis of transition metal 2-ethylhexanoates used as catalysts in polyurethane and silicone curing systems.

  2. Production of driers for alkyd and acrylic coatings, enhancing through-dry and surface cure balance.

  3. Formulation of heat-resistant lubricant additives and metal passivators in industrial oils.

  4. Intermediate in the manufacture of PVC stabilizers, particularly calcium/zinc-based systems.

  5. Solvent carrier for pigment dispersion and rheology control in high-solids architectural and industrial coatings.
