2-ethylhexyl Caprate Market to Incur Meteoric Growth During 2018-2026

Introduction: 2-Ethylhexyl Caprate Market 2-ethylhexyl caprate , also known as 2-ethylhexyl decanoate, is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C18H32O2. In the manufacturing of 2-ethylhexyl caprate, ethyl reacts with hexyl in the presence of caproic acid as a catalyst to form 2-ethylhexyl caproic acid, which on further treatment with esterification process forms a mixture of 2-ethylhexyl caprate crude. This mixture of 2-ethylhexyl caprate crude is distilled to obtain pure 2-ethylhexyl caprate. 2-ethylhexyl caprate finds several applications in chemical, pharmaceutical and textile industries as a reagent, catalyst and excipient. Along with this, 2-ethylhexyl caprate is used in the manufacturing of elastomers and coatings. On the basis of safety, 2-ethylhexyl caprate is the least harmful in the available caprate group and has low vapor pressure, which can reduce hazards while handling as compared to other caprates, such as ethylhexyl palmitate and oth
