- Surfactants & detergents – Used in the production of ethoxylated derivatives
Description:
2-Ethylhexanol is a branched-chain C8 alcohol characterized by a high boiling point, low volatility, and good solvency power. It is widely used as an intermediate in the chemical industry thanks to its excellent reactivity, especially in esterification processes.
This material serves primarily as a precursor in the production of acrylate and methacrylate monomers, plasticizers (e.g., DOP, DEHP alternatives), lube oil additives, and surfactants. Its solvency and compatibility with hydrophobic substances also make it suitable for coatings, inks, and specialty formulations.
Note: The product was rejected by the original buyer and remains stored in tanks. The producer/supplier was unable to identify an alternative customer, leading to the decision to sell the material as surplus stock.
Key Features:
- High boiling point and low vapor pressure
- Good compatibility with organic phases
- Excellent reactivity in esterification and etherification
- Widely used, industry-standard raw material
