2EH Esters

2-Ethylhexyl esters are fatty acid esters known for their excellent lubricity, spreading, and surface conditioning properties. They are commonly used in metalworking and textile applications where lubrication, film formation, and process efficiency are critical. These esters provide reliable performance with good thermal stability and compatibility across formulations.

  • 2-Ethylhexyl Oleate (2EHO) is a Monoester offering excellent lubricating and spreading characteristics. It is particularly effective in metalworking applications requiring smooth operation and improved surface finish.

    Metalworking

    • Acts as a lubricity enhancer in metalworking fluids

    • Improves surface finish and tool life

    • Supports smooth machining and forming operations

  • 2-Ethylhexyl Oleate Vegetable based (2EHO Veg) is a 2EHO alternative developed for applications requiring sustainable or plant-derived raw materials while maintaining effective lubricating performance. Also, our 2EHO Veg is Kosher and Halal certified.

    Metalworking

    • Provides lubrication in environmentally focused metalworking formulations

    • Supports improved surface finish and operational efficiency

  • 2-Ethylhexyl Stearate (2EHS) is a Monoester with enhanced lubricity and film-forming properties, making it suitable for both metalworking and textile processing applications.
