Product Overview

Applications

Documented applications: Uses: Used as a plasticizer, defoaming agent, wetting agent, solvent (nitrocellulose, paints, lacquers, and baking finishes), and textile finishing compound, Also used in inks, rubber, paper, lubricants, photography, and dry cleaning, [Hawley], Pulp and Paper Processing [Category: Industry], Painting (Solvents) [Category: Paint], Dry Cleaning [Category: Clean], Photographic Processing [Category: Other], Textiles (Printing, Dyeing, or Finishing) [Category: Industry], USE A sensitive method for the extraction and determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using alcoholic-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (AA-DLLME) and HPLC was developed... The effective parameters (type and volume of extraction and dispersive solvents, amount of salt and stirring time) on the extraction recovery were studied and optimized utilizing factorial design (FD) and central composite design (CCD). The best recovery was achieved by FD using 2-ethyl-1-hexanol as the extraction solvent and methanol as the dispersive solvent... The optimized conditions were 145 uL of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol as the extraction solvent and 4.2% w, v of salt (NaCl) in sample solution..., For 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (USEPA, OPP Pesticide Code: 079098) there are 0 labels match., SRP: Not registered for current use in the U.S., but approved pesticide uses may change periodically and so federal, state and local authorities must be consulted for currently approved uses., 2-Ethylhexanol is mainly used as the alcohol component for the manufacture of ester plasticizers for soft poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)., Mercerizing textiles, as solvent for dyes, resins, oils, also claimed to possess antifoaming properties., Plasticizer for PVC resins, organic synthesis, solvent mixtures for nitrocellulose, baking finishes ...

The butyraldehyde required for the aldolization stage is made by hydroformylation of propene., (A) Oxo process, from propylene and synthesis gas. (B) Aldolization of acetaldehyde or butyraldehyde, followed by hydrogenation. (C) From fermentation alcohol., HYDROGENATION OF 2-ETHYL-1-HEXENAL AT 200 °C USING A COPPER OR NICKEL CATALYST, Formulations, Preparations: Grade: Technical., Liquid grade, 99% grade, 99.5% grade, Consumption Patterns: 78% As a chem int for vinyl plasticizers, 10% as a chem int for 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, 12% in other applcns (1975), CHEMICAL PROFILE: 2-Ethylhexanol.
