Sku: CG 105-S
CG 105, 2-ethylhexyl Alcohol, CAS 104-76-7, 2-ethylhexanol, 2-EH Alcohol, Isooctanol
Synonym(s): 2-ethylhexanol, 2-EH alcohol, 2-ethylhexan-1-ol, isooctanol, isooctyl alcohol, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol.
Description
CG 105, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol is a colorless transparent liquid at ambient with a characteristic odor. It is a branched chiral alcohol. It is one of the highest-volume alcohols worldwide. 2-Ethylhexyl alcohol is a precursor of production of many other chemicals, which are widely used as plasticizers, emollients, solvents, and base oils. 2-Ethylhexyl alcohol itself can be used as an organic solvent, a cetane improver and a chemical intermediate for multiple industries. It is slightly soluble in water, but is miscible with many organic solvents, such as ethanol and tetrahydrofuran.
