Description
Ethylhexyl esters are used in lubricants as base oils and emollients:
2-ethylhexyl (octyl) esters
These esters are used in lubricants as base oils and as emollients in creams, lotions, and lipsticks. They can also be used in refrigeration and compressor oils.
Dimer acid 2-ethylhexyl esters (DA 2-EH esters)
These esters have potential applications as biolubricant additives and can be used in base oils and additives. They have good solubility in commercial base stocks such as polyalpha olefin (PAO-6) and high-oleic sunflower oil (HOSuO). They also have a kinematic viscosity that is three to eight times higher than a commercial base stock, PAO-6.
2-ethylhexyl oleate
This ester is a branched mono-saturated fatty acid ester that is mainly obtained from palm oil. It is a clear liquid at room temperatures with a melting point around -20 ºC. It has industrial uses in lubricants and greases, adhesives and sealants, polishes and waxes, textile treatment products and dyes, and polymers.
