Product Introduction
Ethyl Acetate introduction |
| Ethyl acetate (CH3COOCH2CH3) is a colorless and transparent ester compound with sweet and volatile properties. It is widely used in the industrial, food, and pharmaceutical fields, mainly as a solvent, edible flavoring, and cleaning agent. |
Ethyl Acetate applications |
| main purpose Industrial solvents: It is widely used in the production of coatings, adhesives, inks, synthetic leather, and other materials. Flavor: It is used to prepare banana, pear, peach, pineapple, grape and other flavor essence. Cleaning and degreasing agent: It is used for cleaning electronic industry integrated circuits and textile industry. Pharmaceutical intermediates: It is used for the synthesis of drugs such as gatifloxacin and teriflunomide. |
Ethyl Acetate Recent research and findings |
| In the field of medicine, ethyl acetate is widely used in the extraction of active parts of natural medicines, commonly used to extract medium polarity substances such as free alkaloids, organic acids, flavonoids, coumarins, etc. Chemical analysis: used for column chromatography eluents, analytical reagents, chromatographic analysis standards and solvents, to detect bismuth, gold, iron, mercury, oxidants and platinum. Environmental protection and pesticide residue analysis: Ethyl acetate is also used in environmental protection and pesticide residue analysis. |
Ethyl Acetate Capacity |
| Domestic production capacity: By 2024, it will reach 4.3 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 21.1%, with East China, Central China, and North China accounting for over 80%. It is expected to add 480000 tons in 2025, but demand growth is weak, which may exacerbate oversupply. Export markets: 470400 tons (+22.69%) will be exported in 2024, and 72700 tons (+119.49%) will be exported in February 2025. Southeast Asia, East Asia, and South Asia are the main markets. |
Ethyl Acetate cost and price trend |
| Raw material costs: Fluctuations in the prices of acetic acid and ethanol directly affect costs, with ethanol decreasing by 23.39% in 2024. Supply and demand relationship: With domestic overcapacity, exports have become the key to easing the contradiction. International market: The growth of export volume and price competition (average price of 5331.2 yuan/ton in 2024) affect domestic prices. Price trend 2024: 5700-6900 yuan/ton, a decrease of 16.51% for the whole year. 2025: It is expected that the market will continue to be weak, with new production capacity and weak demand dominating. |
