2-Ethyl Hexanol

2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH) is a branched-chain primary alcohol, appearing as a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic mild odor. It is a high-production-volume chemical valued for its moderate evaporation rate, good solvent properties, and branched molecular structure. It is primarily used as a key precursor for producing the plasticizer DINP/DIDP and serves as a versatile solvent and intermediate.
