2-Ethyl-1,3-hexanediol Uses
Insect repellents, cosmetics, ink carriers and solvents, pharmaceuticals, boric acid chelators. This product is an effective mosquito and fly repellent.
2-Ethyl-1,3-hexanediol (EHD) is an extractant for boron. It can be used as a non-hydrolyzable sol-gel method to prepare magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles.
2-Ethyl-1,3-hexanediol is the raw material for the selective synthesis of 2-ethyl-1-hydroxy-3-hexanone by h2 o2 oxidation.
2-Ethyl-1,3-hexanediol is produced by hydrogenating butyranol (2-ethyl-3-hydroxyhexanal). Mainly used as an insect repellant, it can also be used as a solvent for resins and inks, as a plasticizer and as a chemical intermediate for the production of polyurethane resins.
