2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH) is a colorless, combustible liquid that is poorly soluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents. The 2-Ethylhexanol market has grown considerably during the past few years, and is expected to grow at a rapid pace in the next five years, mainly driven by growing demand in the Asia-Pacific region.
2-EH acrylate is employed as a raw material for manufacturing various paints, coatings, and adhesives. Thus, the budding construction industry is ultimately pushing the demand for 2-EH acrylates at a notable pace. Therefore, growing 2-EH acrylate demand is a major driver for rising demand for 2-EH.
