2-ETHYLHEXANOIC ACID

2-ETHYLHEXANOIC ACID is a colorless liquid with one carboxylic group based on a C8 carbon chain. 

2-Ethylhexanoic acid is an organic compound with the formula CH3(CH2)3CH(C2H5)CO2H. 

2-Ethylhexanoic acid is a carboxylic acid widely used to prepare lipophilic metal derivatives soluble in nonpolar organic solvents. 

2-Ethylhexanoic acid, also known as 2-EHA or 2-Ethylcaproic acid, is a saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula C8H16O2. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. 

2-Ethylhexanoic acid is widely used in various industries, including the production of plasticizers, lubricants, and coatings.

2-ETHYLHEXANOIC ACID is widely used in esters for PVB film plasticizers and synthetic lubricants, in producing metal soaps for paint driers, automotive coolants, and PVC stabilizers. 

Other applications of 2-Ethylhexanoic acid include wood preservatives, catalysts for polyurethane, and pharmaceuticals.
