Chemical Properties Of 2-Ethylhexyl nitrate Cas 27247-96-7

  • 2-Ethylhexyl nitrate,  molecular formula C8H17NO3,molecular weight 175.0. It is a colorless transparent oily liquid at room temperature, insoluble in water and miscible with hydrocarbon and alcohol organic solvents. It features relatively stable chemical properties and flammability, and is prone tocombustion and decomposition under high temperature or open flame. With a nitrate ester structure, it has weak oxidizing properties. It can improve the cetane number of diesel fuel, and has low volatility and good oil solubility. It shall be stored away from high heat and oxidants.
