How Will 2-EthylHexyl Acetate Gaining Traction Over Conventional Solvents?

2-Ethylhexyl acetate is expected to grow in popularity during the forecast period due to its lower toxicity than traditional solvents. Traditional solvents have higher levels of aromatic content and, as a result, have higher levels of volatile organic components (VOCs).

Aromatic content in 2-Ethylhexyl acetate, on the other hand, is extremely low. Because of the low aromatic content, the solvent is odourless, has a lower VOC content, and has a lower toxicity than traditional solvents. As a result, 2-ethylhexyl acetate is a safer alternative to traditional solvents like chlorinated solvents.
