Potassium bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate CAS 4971-46-4 chemical structure

Description

Potassium bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (CAS 4971-46-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H34O4PK and a molecular weight of 360.52 g/mol.

Potassium bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (C16H34O4PK) contains a phosphate ester group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures Potassium bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
