Products Description
Ethyl hexanediol exhibits low skin irritation potential, yet it may trigger chemical conjunctivitis upon eye contact. It serves as an efficient repellent targeting chiggers, mosquitoes and black flies. Its performance can be further enhanced when formulated together with dimethyl phthalate and indalone. When this blend is applied to fabrics, it delivers protective effects against ticks as well as biting flies.

Products Application
2-Ethyl-1,3-hexanediol (EHD) can be used as a boron extractant and reactive solvent. It is applied in the non-hydrolytic sol-gel synthesis of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. Besides, it acts as a raw material for the selective oxidation reaction to produce 2-ethyl-1-hydroxy-3-hexanone with hydrogen peroxide.
