PRODUCT
2 Ethyl Hexanol
The main product of PT Petro Oxo Nusantara is 2-Ethyl Hexanol. 2-Ethyl Hexanol or better known as octanol with the chemical formula CH3 (CH2) 3CH (C2H5) CH2OH is an organic compound of the alcohol group.
At room temperature, octanol is a clear, colorless, liquid compound with a distinctive aroma.
It has low solubility in water and low toxicity, but is flammable. When reacted, it has the same reaction properties as primary alcohols and can quickly react with acids to form esters (BASF, 2001).
The raw material in the manufacture of octanol is butyldaldehyde obtained from the hydroformylation process (oxo process) using propylene and syn-gas.
