Potassium 2-ethylhexanoate (CAS 3164-85-0) is a metal carboxylate salt produced via the neutralization of 2-ethylhexanoic acid with potassium hydroxide. The molecular formula is C8H15KO2. It serves as a critical catalyst and drying agent in industrial synthesis.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from moisture to prevent hydrolysis. Avoid skin contact and inhalation of dust; wear appropriate PPE including gloves and safety goggles during handling.
