It is used in the production of plasticizers, defoamers, dispersants, mineral processing agents and petroleum additives, as well as in printing and dyeing, paints, films, etc. 2-Ethylhexanol is habitually called octanol in the plasticizer neighborhood, and it is an important chemical raw material. In addition to the production of plasticizers, foreign octanol is also used to produce octyl acrylate or used as surfactants, etc. It can be mainly used to produce: dioctyl phthalate (DOP), dioctyl oxalate (DOA), Trioctyl trimellitate (TOTM), other plasticizers, octyl acrylate, surfactants, bone oil additive Chemicalbook agent, mining, diesel fuel additives, solvents and pharmaceuticals, rust inhibitor esters, other chemicals Taste. Octanol itself is a useful solvent, antifoaming agent, dispersing agent and lubricant. Its series of products are mainly plasticizers such as dioctyl phthalate and octyl acrylate. Dioctyl phthalate produced with octanol as raw material is the main plasticizer for PVC, and the consumption for PVC accounts for about 95% of its total consumption.
