2-Ethylhexanoic acid, C8H1602
2-Ethylhexanoic acid
2-Ethylhexanoic acid is a new type of organic chemical material and an updated product of organic acids such as naphthenic acid and fatty acids. This product is a colorless and transparent oily liquid, with the molecular formula C8H1602, molecular weight 144.21, relative density (d25)0.9031, boiling point 228℃, crystallization point -83℃, and refractive index 1.425(n20D). It is soluble in ether and slightly soluble in ethanol. This product features high purity and light color.
2-Ethylhexanoic acid is used in the production of salts such as cobalt isooctanoate, manganese, lead, zinc, calcium, zirconium, and rare earths. It can be used as a drying accelerator for coatings, a promoter and catalyst for unsaturated polyester resins, a stabilizer and additive for PVC plastics. It is used in ester production and can be made into chemical auxiliaries such as bactericides, preservatives, metal lubricants, gasoline additives, and biological growth AIDS. In the rubber industry, it can be used as a thickener and gelling agent. It is also a raw material for drugs such as ampicillin and carboxybenzillin, and an excellent material for synthesizing high-grade coating resins.
