OVERVIEW

SierraPhos 2-EH (acid form) is a concentrated phosphate ester surfactant produced by reacting 2-ethylhexanol with phosphorus pentoxide (Pā‚‚Oā‚…). It can be used directly in its acid form or neutralized to create a wide range of high-performance surfactants. Known for its versatility and cost efficiency, this chemistry is widely used as a building block for antistatic agents in textiles and plastics, as well as a penetrating surfactant for industrial cleaners, agricultural adjuvants, and specialty formulations. Available in both acid and neutralized grades, SierraPhos 2-EH offers broad formulation flexibility and proven performance in demanding applications.
