2-Ethylhexanol Ethoxylate CAS 26468-86-0

Physicochemical properties

Application Areas

Electroplating industry: As an electroplating additive, it can improve the dispersibility and covering ability of the electroplating solution, enhancing the glossiness and uniformity of the electroplated layer. For instance, in nickel electroplating, EH-158 can be used as a brightener.
Chemical industry: It is widely used as an emulsifier, dispersant, solubilizer, etc., in various fields such as coatings, inks, adhesives, textile auxiliaries, etc.
Other fields: It can also be used for metal cleaning, leather processing, paper industry, etc.

Storage conditions

Temperature: Store in a cool, well-ventilated warehouse and avoid high temperatures (recommended storage temperature below 30℃).
Light exposure: Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent ultraviolet rays from accelerating product degradation.
Container requirements: Store in sealed original packaging (such as 200kg iron drums or 50kg plastic drums) to ensure that the containers are free from damage or leakage.
Isolated storage: Keep away from fire and heat sources. Store separately from oxidants, acids, and edible chemicals. Avoid mixing storage.

‌‌Safety precautions

Ventilation requirements: Operate in a fume hood or a well-ventilated environment to avoid inhaling vapor or dust.
Avoid ignition sources: Keep away from open flames and high heat. Fire-fighting equipment (such as carbon dioxide and dry powder fire extinguishers) must be equipped at the operation site. Smoking is prohibited.
Prevent splashing: When pouring or transferring, operate slowly to avoid splashing the liquid onto the skin or eyes.
Concentration control: Use according to the recommended ratio in the product manual to avoid performance degradation or safety hazards caused by overdose
