description Product Description
Used primarily in the production of plasticizers, especially for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), to improve flexibility and durability in products like cables, flooring, and films. It is a key component in synthesizing di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and other ester-based plasticizers. Also serves as an intermediate in manufacturing lubricants, surfactants, and emollients for cosmetics. Employed in solvent extraction processes, particularly in the production of antibiotics and metal separation. Its low volatility and good solvency make it suitable for use in coatings, inks, and adhesives. Additionally, it functions as a modifier in alkyd resins and as a precursor in fragrance and flavor synthesis.
