2-Ethylhexanoic Acid Market – Overview
Report Description
2-Ethylhexanoic acid is a colorless liquid that is commonly used as a plastic stabilizer, drying agent, emollient in cosmetics, processing aid in drugs, wood preservative, and corrosion inhibitor. Commercially, 2-ethylhexanoic acid is produced by using the butyraldehyde method. Addition of 2-ethylhexanoic acid metal salts to PVC increases its resistance to high temperatures. It also functions as a thermal and color stabilizer in alkyd resin plastics. 2-Ethylhexanoic acid is used as a drying agent in paints, enamels, varnishes, and printing inks. 2-Ethylhexanoic acid is combined with metals to produce metal salts and these salts are then added to solvents to function as drying agents. Cobalt and manganese are highly used with 2-ethylhexanoic acid to manufacture paint drying agents. 2-Ethylhexanoic acid is used as emollient in cosmetics, due to its high hydrolytic stability. Sodium salt of 2-ethylhexanoic acid combined with other fungicides is employed to protect cut wood.
In terms of method of production, the global 2-ethylhexanoic acid market has been classified into butyraldehyde and octanol.Several manufacturers employ the butyraldehyde method, as it is a cost–effective method.
In terms of application, the global 2-ethylhexanoic acid market has been segmented into PVB plasticizers, synthetic lubricants, paint dryers, PVC stabilizers, drugs, emollients, and others (wood preservatives, coolants, etc.). In terms of end-user, the global 2-ethylhexanoic acid market can be divided into chemical, paints & coatings, personal care & cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and others.
Rising use of 2-ethylhexanoic acid as a PVB plasticizer, which is further utilized in the glass industry, is anticipated to fuel the global 2-ethylhexanoic acid market during the forecast period.Use of 2-ethylhexanoic acid as a PVB plasticizer imparts high transparency, gloss, and impact resistance to glass products.
Demand for 2-ethylhexanoic acid for use in PVC stabilization applications is also on the rise.Use of 2-ethylhexanoic acid as an automotive coolant and in personal care applications is anticipated to offer immense growth opportunities to the 2-ethylhexanoic acid market in the next few years.
Advancements in nanotechnology and material science are expected to propel the 2-ethylhexanoic acid market in the next few years.Technological advancements in developing economies are likely to provide significant growth opportunities to the global 2-ethylhexanoic acid market in the near future.
Japan and China are major countries contributing significantly to the 2-ethylhexanoic acid market in Asia Pacific.
In the paints & coatings industry, water-based coatings are gaining significant popularity, as the technology is completely eco-friendly. In solvent- or oil-based coatings, drying agents are required, which emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs). 2-Ethylhexanoic acid is used as a drying agent in solvent- and oil-based coatings. Thus, emergence of water-based coatings is likely to restrain the 2-ethylhexanoic acid market in the next few years.
