Uses/Applications

Plasticizers
One of the primary uses of 2-Ethylhexanol is as a precursor in the production of plasticizers, particularly di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). Plasticizers are added to polymers to improve flexibility, durability, and resilience, making them essential in the manufacturing of PVC products such as pipes, cables, flooring, and automotive parts.

Solvents
2-Ethylhexanol is commonly used as a solvent in various industries, including coatings, paints, inks, and adhesives. It helps dissolve and disperse other substances, improving the application properties and performance of these products.

Chemical Intermediates
It serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of several chemicals, including plasticizers, esters, surfactants, and lubricants. These chemicals find applications in diverse industries such as cosmetics, personal care products, and industrial cleaning agents.

Production of 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate (2-EHA)
2-Ethylhexanol is used as a raw material in the production of 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate, which is a monomer utilized in the manufacturing of acrylic polymers and copolymers. These polymers find applications in paints, coatings, adhesives, and sealants.

Fuel Additives
It is used as a fuel additive, primarily in aviation fuels, to improve fuel stability and reduce the formation of deposits in engines.

Perfumes and Fragrances
