2-(Hexyloxy)ethanol(CAT: M067832) is a non-ionic, amphiphilic solvent and surfactant intermediate featuring a hexyl ether group and a terminal hydroxyl group. With the molecular formula C₈H₁₈O₂, it offers both hydrophobic and hydrophilic character, making it valuable in formulations requiring emulsification, solubilization, or surface tension reduction. It is commonly used in coatings, inks, cleaning agents, and personal care products. The hydroxyl group allows for further chemical modification, while the hexyl chain enhances lipid solubility. 2-(Hexyloxy)ethanol is also used as a solvent for resins, dyes, and oils.
