2-Ethyl-1,3-hexanediol CAS#94-96-2
Ethyl hexanediol is non-irritating to skin but may cause chemical conjunctivitis. As an effective repellent against chiggers, mosquitoes, and black flies, it becomes even more useful in a formula that includes dimethyl phthalate and indalone. Applying this combination to clothing provides protection against both ticks and biting flies.
