2-Ethylhexanol based on 25 % renewable raw material is the latest addition to Perstorp’s expanding ISCC Plus-certified portfolio of Pro-Environment products.

The new product grade is the world’s first 2-EH partly based on renewable raw materials. The company’s Pro-Environment Oxo portfolio now includes acids, plasticizers and alcohols.

Based on a mass balance concept applying chemical and physical traceability, Pro-Environment products are chemically identical to their fossil-based counterparts, offering the same quality without trade-off in performance, the manufacturer states. The difference lies in the origin of the raw materials, being renewable or recycled instead of virgin fossil-based. 2-EH Pro 25 can therefore be considered a drop-in replacement, ready to be used in existing formulations.

2-EH is widely used in the production of plasticizers in flexible vinyl applications, acrylates, lubrication oil additives, and as a main ingredient in cetane enhancers for diesel fuel. With 2-EH Pro 25, there is now a more sustainable alternative available.
