Ethyl Hexyl Nitrate is an organic compound with multiple applications across a wide range of industries. It is widely used as a solvent in the production of inks, coatings, and paints. It is also used as a solvent in manufacturing various cleaning solutions. It also finds its application as a fuel additive that is added to ethanol-diesel blends to improve performance and reduce harmful emissions. It is also used as an ignition enhancer in aviation fuels and combustion engines to enhance its performance. It also finds its application an additive to enhance the pyrolysis process and contribute to waste management. Additionally, EHN is also utilized as an intermediate in the formulation of pesticides and insecticides used for agricultural applications. It is often used to increase the cetane number or combustion speed of diesel fuels.

The versatility of Ethyl Hexyl Nitrate in its ignition-improving capabilities and its demand as a fuel additive significantly drive its market. Its utilization as a cetane improver in diesel fuels to improve the ignition quality and combustion efficiency of the fuel further makes it a highly sought-after commodity among petroleum industries. Its application as an additive in fuel to ensure optimum combustion also contributes to its demand in the automotive and transportation industries. Its usage as an intermediate in the production of fertilizers also fuels its demand in the agrochemical industry. Its involvement as a solvent in manufacturing paints and inks also contributes to its demand in the paint & coatings and printing industries.

The production of Ethyl Hexyl Nitrate (EHN) involves the esterification of 2-ethylhexanol with nitric acid.  Thus, the availability and pricing of these raw materials directly affect the production costs and supply stability of EHN, which further impacts industrial Ethyl Hexyl Nitrate procurement. The demand for EHN is closely related to the diesel fuel market. Therefore, changes in diesel engine regulations, fuel economy standards, and the adoption of alternative fuels also serve as major factors that influence the demand and procurement strategies for EHN.

Raw Material for Ethyl Hexyl Nitrate Production

According to the Ethyl Hexyl Nitrate manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Ethyl Hexyl Nitrate production include 2-Ethylhexene- Nitric Acid.

Manufacturing Process of Ethyl Hexyl Nitrate

The extensive Ethyl Hexyl Nitrate production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

  • Production via Hydroformylation: This method of synthesizing Ethyl hexyl nitrate is a multi-step process, which involves the process of hydroformylation and nitration to obtain the final product. The synthesis begins with the hydroformylation of 2-ethylhexene (obtained from crude oil), which involves the reaction of 2-ethylhexene with carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen gas in the presence of a metal catalyst to produce 2-ethylhexanol. Further, the obtained 2-ethylhexanol, after purification, undergoes nitration, which involves its reaction with nitric acid and sulfuric acid, leading to the formation of 2-ethylhexyl nitrate as the desired product.

Ethyl Hexyl Nitrate (EHN) is a nitrate ester compound. The molecular formula of the compound is C8H17NO3, and its molar mass is around 175.23 g/mol. The IUPAC name of the compound is 2-ethylhexyl nitrate. The compound appears in the form of a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. The vapor pressure of the compound is around 0.03 mmHg. The density of the compound is 0.963 g/mL at 25°C, and its boiling point is around 306.53°C. The flash point of the compound is 76.1°C, and its auto-ignition temperature is around 215°C. The compound is considered toxic with long-lasting effects on the aquatic life.
