Eastman presents some new chemicals
2-Ethylisohexanoic Acid Form S. G. 20/20°C Boiling Point, 738mm. Acid, %
For those who are developing better paint driers, vinyl stabilizers, or plasticizers or who are intrigued with ore extradants, we recommend this branched 8-carbon acid for investigation. Its soaps make interesting gelling agents, too.
for "scientific fiddling"
liquid 0.9036 216-223.7°C 97.9
2-Ethylisohexyl Acetate Form S. G. 20°/20°C Boiling Range, 760mm.
liquid 0.865-0.870 186-195°C
Here's a new ester solvent with a very low evaporation rate and very low water solubility—a valuable combination of properties for multi-color lacquer and emulsion formulations, for instance.
C=C—CN
Methacrylonitrile Form S. G. 20/4°C Boiling Point
liquid 0.8001 90.3°C
The possibilities here are limited only by the imagination—a vinyl linkage and a cyanide radical on a short molecule.
2,5-Dihydroxybenzoquinone Form Melting Point Quality
solid 216°C (Decomposed) Technical grade
From metal chelating to insecticide manufacture anyone interested in quinone compounds will find this one easy to work with—decidedly more stable than most and less irritating to skin and eyes.
C—C=C—COOH
Crotonic Acid Form Crystallization Point Purity
crystalline solid not less titan 65°C not less than 97%
If you're working with alkyds, take a good look at this highly reactive unsaturated acid. Reports are that it makes excellent fast-drying resins. Insecticide chemists have also shown considerable interest.
2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-pentaned1ol Form Melting Point Boiling Range, 4mm. Purity, Min.
solid 49-51°C 109-111°C 95%
Here's one for chemists delving into synthetic lubricants and lube additives. The unusual configuration of this 8-carbon glycol yields esters with some very unique physical properties.
Several of these chemicals will be available on a commercial scale shortly. We've samples and
