Application

Descriptions:

• 2-Ethylhexanol (abbreviated 2-EH) is a colorless liquid that is poorly soluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents.

• 2-Ethylhexanol is a branched, eight-carbon chiral alcohol.

• 2-Ethylhexanol is encountered in natural plant fragrances, and the odor has been reported as "heavy, earthy and slightly floral" for the R-enantiomer and "a light, sweet floral fragrance" for the S-enantiomer.

Uses:

• It is widely used for solvents, flavors, and fragrances and especially as a precursor for production of other chemicals such as emollients and plasticizers.

• It is used as an adhesive in the production of printing ink and Venetian pearl.

• It is used as a distillation agent in the production of medical.

• It is used as fruit essences such as pineapple and banana etc.

• It is used as analytical reagent, chromatographic analysis standard material and solvent.

• It is used as a feed flavouring agent.
