Ethyl acetate is an organic compound with the chemical formula C4H8O2. The CAS number of ethyl acetate is 141-78-6. It is an ester with the functional group -COOR (a double bond between carbon and oxygen). The melting point is -84°C, the boiling point is 76.6-77.5°C, the flash point is -4°C, the density of ethyl acetate is 0.902g/cm3, and the appearance is a colorless and transparent liquid. Ethyl acetate can undergo alcoholysis, aminolysis, ester exchange, reduction and other common reactions of general esters. It is mainly used as a solvent, food flavoring, cleaning and degreasing agent.
Ethyl acetate is a highly efficient solvent for many types of resins and is widely used in the production of inks, artificial leather, and varnishes. It is used as an analytical reagent, a standard substance for chromatographic analysis, and a solvent. Ethyl acetate is also a fast-drying solvent with excellent dissolving power, and is an excellent industrial solvent.
As of the 13th, the price of ethyl acetate increased by 40 yuan/ton compared with the price on June 6, an increase of 0.74%. The supplier has no pressure on spot goods, the company’s mentality is rising, the downstream follows up on demand, the market transaction is still good, and the price of ethyl acetate is consolidating upward.
The domestic ethyl acetate production capacity utilization rate is not high, the inventory pressure of enterprises is not great, and the quotations are mainly firm. At the same time, there are many orders in the export market, the market supply is tightened, the news is positive, and the quotations of ethyl acetate are adjusted upward; on the cost side, the raw material acetic acid is weak and downward, and the profit of ethyl ester increases, which has a negative effect on the downstream purchasing sentiment of ethyl ester; from the demand point of view, the downstream enters the market and follows up on demand, which will definitely suppress the obvious increase in the price of ethyl ester.
Looking at the future market, the operating rate of the ethyl acetate market is not high, and the supplier market has good support, but the downstream enthusiasm for entering the market is not high. The shipping pressure of ethyl acetate companies may increase. At the same time, the raw material market is weak and the cost side is bearish. It is expected that the price of ethyl acetate will be weak in the later period. Specific attention should be paid to changes in supplier equipment and downstream follow-up.
