Professional R&D and excellent quality plasticizer chemicals

2-Ethylhexanol has been identified as a volatile organic compound (VOC) that contributes to the deterioration of indoor air quality. Plasticizers are common components of dust and building materials and are shown to be degraded by a variety of bacteria and fungi to produce 2-ethyhexanol and other metabolites.

New area applications for polymeric plasticizers based on 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA) are technical products where the thermal resistance plays the major role. The successful development of high performance acrylic polymers in form of copolymers and homopolymers used as PSA has been viewed as a classic example attesting to the importance of

The triester tris (2-Ethylhexyl) trimellitate (TOTM) is another common plasticizer produced via the esterification of three 2-ethylhexanol per trimellitic acid . It is also commonly used as a low volatility solvent. 2-Ethylhexanol can also be used as a cetane improver when reacted with nitric acid.

2-Ethyl Hexanol (2-EH) is a clear, uniform, nontoxic liquid with a characteristic odor, insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvent. It is obtained indirectly in OXO synthesis from propylene and synthesis gas. General description 2-Ethyl-1-hexanol is a monohydroxy alcohol reagent. It is a glass-forming alcohol. [1] Application

In the present study, we are proposing that specific substrates, namely plasticizers, are acted upon by microorganisms to generate the 2-ethylhexanol observed in building environments.
