Notes

Used as a starting material for the synthesis numerous plasticizers.

Used as a defoaming agent for industrial drilling fluids.  Maintains fluid consistency and defoams drilling muds.

Esters of 2-ethylhexanol are far more commonly used in the personal care industry for their emollient properties in lotions, creams, and sunscreens.  

2-Ethylhexanol is also a widely used solvent because of it's low volatility. 

This material is also offered in reagent grade for laboratory testing and analysis.  

Use: PERFUMING
