EC number: 271-832-1 | CAS number: 68609-68-7 The complex combination of products produced by the distillation of products from a 2-ethyl-1-hexanol manufacturing process. It consists predominantly of organic compounds such as alcohols, aldehydes, esters, carboxylic acids and acetals having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C4 through C16 and boiling in the range of 150°C to 308°C (302°F to 586°F).
