2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH), commonly known as isooctanol, is an important eight-carbon branched primary alcohol and the most significant plasticizer alcohol. It is primarily used in the reaction with phthalic anhydride to produce di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DOP, DINP, DIOP, etc., general-purpose plasticizers). It is also employed as a solvent, defoamer, dispersant, lubricant additive, and raw material for surfactants.

Description

2-Ethylhexanol (abbreviated as 2-EH, CAS No.: 104-76-7) is a long-chain primary alcohol produced via the hydroformylation of propylene to n-butyraldehyde, followed by aldol condensation and hydrogenation. It is the highest-volume and most widely used plasticizer alcohol globally. Approximately 80% of its production is consumed in manufacturing phthalate plasticizers, with the most important product being di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP, commonly known as DOP). DOP serves as the primary plasticizer in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products, imparting excellent flexibility, extensibility, and processability. It is extensively used in wires and cables, synthetic leather, flooring, films, hoses, and other applications. Besides being a plasticizer feedstock, 2-EH can also react with polybasic acids (e.g., adipic acid, sebacic acid) to produce cold-resistant plasticizers with superior low-temperature performance. As a solvent, it is used in coatings, inks, adhesives, and extraction processes. Its derivative, sodium 2-ethylhexyl sulfate, is an important anionic surfactant. Furthermore, it is used as a diesel fuel additive, mineral flotation agent, defoamer, and anti-wear additive in lubricants. Our product, manufactured in Shandong, China, is produced using the advanced oxo process (hydroformylation). It achieves a purity of ≥99.5% with low carbonyl compound and moisture content, light color, and stable, reliable quality, meeting the requirements of plasticizer manufacturing, solvent applications, and specialty chemical synthesis.
