Dec 24, 2025 Ostavite poruku

CAS 104-76-7 2-Ethylhexanol /2-EH is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. It is only slightly soluble in water but dissolves readily in organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers, and ketones. Its branched structure provides lower volatility compared to linear alcohols, making it ideal for applications requiring thermal stability and resistance to evaporation.
