2-Ethylhexanoic Acid Market Insights on Trends, Drivers and Opportunities until the End of 20262-Eth

Published: Thu Jul 11 2019


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.
