Features Of Eastman 2-Ethylhexanol 2-Ethylhexanol

  1. High-purity, low-water-content grade optimized for sensitive esterification processes.

  2. Consistent batch-to-batch quality ensured by Eastman’s integrated manufacturing and rigorous QC protocols.

  3. Low volatility and favorable viscosity support safe handling and efficient metering in continuous production systems.

  4. Excellent solvency for resins, cellulose derivatives, and plasticizers—enhancing formulation stability and performance.

  5. Compatible with common industrial catalysts (e.g., sulfuric acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid) without promoting side reactions.

Typical Applications Of Eastman 2-Ethylhexanol 2-Ethylhexanol

  1. Primary raw material for producing dioctyl phthalate (DOP), dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP), and other PVC plasticizers.

  2. Key alcohol component in synthesis of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate for pressure-sensitive adhesives and specialty coatings.

  3. Intermediate in manufacture of surfactants, including sulfosuccinates and ethoxylated derivatives for agrochemical formulations.

  4. Solvent and coalescing aid in architectural and industrial waterborne paints and latex emulsions.

  5. Reactant in production of metal carboxylates (e.g., 2-ethylhexoates) used as driers and catalysts in coatings and inks.
