Product Application
- Manufacturing DOP(Di-octyl phthalate), DOTP (Dioctyl terephthalate), 2-EHA (2-Ehyihexyl Acryiate).
- primarily used in the production of plasticizers, such as dioctyl phthalate, and in the synthesis of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, a monomer used to modify acrylic and methacrylic polyesters. It also serves as an additive in diesel fuel and is used in lubricating oils.
- Additionally, Isooctyl Alcohol (2-EH) is involved in the manufacture of low-volatility esters, ethoxylates, coatings, and herbicides. It acts as a solvent for resins, animal fats, vegetable oils, wax, and petroleum derivatives, and is used in the production of extractants for heavy metal mining.

Storage & Handling
General Information: This product should be stored, handled and used in accordance with good industrial hygiene practices and in conformity with any legal regulation. Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Promptly remove any clothing that becomes contaminated. Isolate contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. DO NOT take working clothes home.
Storage: NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. Prevent generation of mists! Above 36℃ use a closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Store in an original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material. Keep container tightly closed and sealed when not in use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Store only if stabilized. Keep in the dark. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances (see section 10), any sources of ignition or heat (e.g. open flames, sparks, direct sunlight, smoking, hot surfaces), food, drink and feedstuffs. Inspect regularly for deficiencies such as damage or leaks. Treat carefully, avoid physical damage to containers. The storage area should be equipped with the corresponding species and quantity of fire equipment and leakage emergency equipment.
