Octanol, commonly known as 2-Ethyl Hexanol or 2-EH, is a colorless liquid with a mild characteristic odor, valued primarily as a key raw material for plasticizer production and as a high-boiling solvent across industrial applications. It shows up in PVC plasticizer manufacturing, surfactant production, and lubricant additive processing, wherever a process needs a branched-chain alcohol with good esterification properties.
Chemxcellence manufactures and supplies Octanol (2-EH), with each batch tested for purity and water content before dispatch, since these specifications directly affect esterification efficiency, plasticizer quality, and product consistency depending on the application. We work with PVC plasticizer manufacturers, surfactant and lubricant additive producers, and specialty chemical formulators, supplying both smaller quantities for trials and bulk drum or tanker volumes for larger operations. As a manufacturer and worldwide supplier, we ship across India and to international customers, with packaging suited to keep this product stable during transit.
Manufacturing this product ourselves means we can offer direct, competitive pricing on Octanol (2-EH) and adjust supply to match what a customer's formulation actually needs. Operating from Gujarat, we manage domestic dispatch efficiently and run an export process built to handle international orders with proper documentation.
