Ethyl Ethanoate Information at A Glance

What Is Ethyl Ethanoate？

Ethyl ethanoate, also known as ethyl acetate, chemical formula is C4H8O2, molecular weight is 88.11, it is an ester with functional group -COOR (a double bond between carbon and oxygen), which can undergo alcoholysis and aminolysis Common reactions of general esters such as transesterification, reduction and so on. Low toxicity, sweet taste, pungent odor when the concentration is high, volatile, excellent solubility, quick-drying, widely used, is an important organic chemical raw material and industrial solvent.

Ethyl ethanoate smell: It has a strong ether-like odor, a clear, slightly fruity aroma, easy to diffuse and not lasting.

Ethyl Ethanoate Uses

1) Another solvent other than alcohol in perfume is called ethyl ethanoate

It has a low boiling point, colorless, with no odor or taste. The solvent can be found in fruits, wine, vinegar, cranberry sauce, tomato sauce, fruit juices. This solvent also increases the intensity of other flavors to create an appealing smell for perfumes made up of alcohols that have been distilled several times then mixed with organic compounds like plants oils and animal fats to produce different smells.

2) An ingredient of nail polish

The second crucial compound is an organic solvent with high volatility. Typically, it's ethyl ethanoate or isopropyl alcohol. The role of this element is to turn the nail polish into a liquid so that it's easily spread on the nail. Once applied on the nail, the organic solvent evaporates, leaving the polymer alone on your fingers, which explains why the polish gets hard.

Ethyl Acetate Price and Market Trends 

l Dozens of chemical raw materials fell collectively! 

The price of Ethyl ethanoate was 8225 CNY/ton, down 425 CNY/ton from the beginning of August. Earlier, the price of ethyl ethanoate soared to 8,950 CNY/ton, the highest point in ten years. Subsequently, the domestic ethyl ethanoate market fell, and the bidding prices of Shandong's main factories continued to decline, releasing negative results, and the market transaction atmosphere was light. The current quotation is down 425 CNY/ton from the beginning of August, or 4.91%. It is expected that the domestic ethyl ethanoate market will continue to weaken in the short term.

l Demand warming, late price all the way bullish 

From mid-October, the start of PTA, butyl acetate and ethyl ethanoate industries showed an obvious rising trend. The start of PTA industry was 70.97% in mid-October, and the operating rate was 82% by early November, up 15.54%. The ethyl ethanoate industry started 39% in early October and 51% in early November, up 30.77%.

l Weak demand in Asia, petrochemical market is in slump 

In addition, the capacity utilization rate of some ethyl ethanoate and butyl acetate facilities in India and Southeast Asia has been affected by factors such as the rainy season and the substitution of raw materials since late July.

l Celanese announces force majeure for many intermediate chemicals in Asia

On February 18, 2021, chemical producer Celanese Corp (Celanese Corp) stated that due to severe weather in Texas, it announced force majeure for deliveries in the Americas and Europe, the Middle East and Asia (EMEA). These include acetic acid, vinyl acetate monomer, ethyl ethanoate and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.

l The big forecast for the development of chemicals in 2022

Acetate: At present, the domestic industry concentration of ethyl ethanoate is relatively high, and there is obvious overcapacity. In recent years, Jiangsu Lianhai, Shanghai Huayi and Henan Shunda have all withdrawn from the ethyl ethanoate market. According to statistics, there are not many new ethyl ethanoate projects. Zhuhai Qianxin’s 300,000 tons/year plant is scheduled to be put into operation in early 2022, but at the same time, it plans to close the 250,000 tons/year plant in Jiangmen, so the total capacity change is limited.

l Affected by the epidemic situation, the operating rate of domestic acetic acid downstream companies has dropped

During the Spring Festival, most ACETATE enterprises stopped. After the outbreak, the resumption of work has a long delay, even after the resumption of work, the load is also low. Among them, ethyl ethanoate has a minimum operating rate of 19%
