Potassium 2 - ethylhexanoate, with the CAS number 3164 - 85 - 0, is a chemical compound supplied by our factory at a low price. It is an important organic salt that has a wide range of applications in various industries.
Chemical Formula: C₈H₁₅KO₂
Molecular Weight: Approximately 198.3 g/mol
Appearance: Usually presents as a clear liquid or a white to off - white solid, depending on the specific production conditions and purity.
Solubility: It is soluble in many organic solvents and has certain solubility in water, which makes it versatile in different formulations.
Stability: Under normal storage conditions, it is relatively stable. However, it should be stored away from strong oxidizing agents, acids, and heat to avoid decomposition.
Potassium 2 - ethylhexanoate has a diverse range of applications:
1. Catalysis: It can be used as a catalyst in some organic synthesis reactions. For example, in the production of certain polymers, it can accelerate the reaction rate and improve the quality of the final product.
2. Coating Industry: In the coating industry, it can act as a drier. It helps the coating to dry faster and form a more uniform and durable film on the surface, which is especially important for industrial coatings and automotive paints.
3. Lubricants: It can be added to lubricants to improve their performance. It can enhance the anti - wear and anti - corrosion properties of the lubricant, thereby extending the service life of mechanical parts.
4. Pharmaceuticals: In the pharmaceutical field, it may be used in the synthesis of certain drugs or as an ingredient in drug formulations to improve the solubility and stability of the active ingredients.
1. Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly closed to prevent moisture and air from entering. It is recommended to store it at a temperature between 20 - 30°C.
2. Handling: When handling Potassium 2 - ethylhexanoate, wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, immediately rinse with plenty of water and seek medical advice if necessary.
3. Dosage and Mixing: The dosage of the product depends on the specific application. In most cases, it is used in small amounts as a catalyst or additive. When mixing with other substances, follow the recommended mixing ratio and procedure provided in the relevant technical document. Slowly add the product to the mixture while stirring continuously to ensure uniform dispersion.
Case 1: Coating Industry
A coating manufacturer was facing the problem of slow drying time and poor film quality of their industrial coatings. After adding Potassium 2 - ethylhexanoate as a drier in the coating formulation, the drying time was significantly reduced from 24 hours to 6 hours. The final coating film was more uniform, with better adhesion and gloss. This improvement not only increased the production efficiency but also enhanced the market competitiveness of the coating products.
Case 2: Lubricant Industry
A machinery manufacturing company was using a regular lubricant for their high - speed rotating parts, which suffered from severe wear and tear. By adding Potassium 2 - ethylhexanoate to the lubricant, the anti - wear performance was improved by 30%. The frequency of part replacement was reduced, and the overall operating cost of the machinery was decreased.
