Eastman Chemical is planning to expand capacity for 2-ethylhexanol at its Longview, Texas, plant by 37,000 metric tons per year. The company expects to complete the project by 2012. Eastman is also expanding capacity for the 2-ethylhexanol raw material butyraldehyde by 40,000 metric tons. Eastman makes the nonphthalate plasticizer bis(2-ethylhexyl)-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate from the alcohol, which is also used to make 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, as well as fuel and lubricant additives.
