Description

2-Ethylhexyl Phthalate CAS NO 117-81-7 is a high-purity, high-molecular-weight phthalate ester widely recognized as a primary plasticizer. This compound is essential for imparting flexibility, durability, and workability to a wide range of polymeric materials. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and adhesives industries seeking reliable performance and consistent quality.

Application

• Primary Plasticizer for PVC: The dominant application, used to soften and flexibilize polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for products like cables, hoses, flooring, and synthetic leather.
• Polymer Additive: Imparts flexibility and low-temperature performance to other polymers, including nitrocellulose, polyvinyl butyral, and certain synthetic rubbers.
• Adhesive and Sealant Formulations: Acts as a plasticizer to enhance the adhesion, cohesion, and flexibility of various adhesive and sealant products.
• Coating and Ink Production: Used in the formulation of certain coatings and printing inks to improve film-forming properties and flexibility.
• Dielectric Fluid: Employed in some specialized capacitor formulations due to its electrical properties.
• Industrial Lubricant Additive: Functions as a component in some synthetic lubricants and greases.
