2-ethylhexanol (2-EH) is an organic compound comprising 6C chain with ethyl group linked to the second carbon of the chain and -OH as its functional group. It is flammable and colourless with low solubility in water Though this liquid is less soluble in water, it is soluble in nearly all organic solvents. 2-Ethylhexanol is also called octanol and is an 8-carbon higher alcohol species. It can be manufactured by a three-stage process comprising the aldol self-condensation of n-butyraldehyde after dehydration and hydrogenation. Because it is an excellent solvent, 2-ethylhexanol is used in many chemical reactions. 2-Ethylhexanol is also employed as a chain terminator during condensation polymerisation and as an intermediate for the production of plasticisers, including Di-Octyl Phthalate (DOP), Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA), etc. DOP is the most used plasticiser in the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) industry. 2-Ethylhexanol is primarily used as a raw material for several chemicals.
Globally, the United States, Germany and Malaysia are the leading exporters of 2-Ethylhexanol, whereas India, Brazil and Pakistan are the major importing countries.

Industrial Uses Impacting 2-Ethylhexanol Price Trend:
2-Ethylhexanol is manufactured on a large scale for its utilisation in several applications, including solvents, flavours, and fragrances and specifically as a precursor to producing other chemicals like emollients and plasticisers. 2-Ethylhexanol is also employed as a supporter of octane when it is reacted with nitric acid. The chemical is manufactured commercially by the aldol condensation of n-butyraldehyde, after that by hydrogenation of the resultant hydroxyaldehyde. Additionally, 2-ethylhexanol is also applied as a dissolving agent for pigment pastes. Moreover, it is utilised in the manufacturing of plasticisers and acrylates as a solvent in the production of paint and varnishes. It is also used as a wetting agent in the textile sector and to enhance cetane numbers in the refining industry.

News & Recent Development:
- December 2022: Saudi Arabia’s Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) started its latest industrial chemicals facility in Jeddah. The aim behind opening this new industrial unit is to enhance Saudi Arabia's position as a source of safe plasticisers, as it is predominantly utilised in production processes and plastic applications. The Saudi Industrial Chemicals Factory became the first factory in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to employ ethyl hexanol (2-EH) to manufacture dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP), which is an important component in the production of plasticisers.
