2-Ethylhexanoic Acid Market: Introduction
2-Ethylhexanoic Acid is a carboxylic acid with molecular formula C8H16O2. It is a colourless organic compound having relatively high boiling point, mild odour, and is immiscible in water whereas is soluble in organic solvents. Production of 2-Ethylhexanoic acid involves aldol condensation of butyraldehyde to produce 2-ethylhexanal, which on oxidation produces 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid. 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid finds use in various applications including use as chemical intermediate, wood preservative, catalyst for polyurethane and in pharmaceuticals applications. It is mainly used as a chemical intermediate for production of esters, which are further used for the manufacturing polyvinyl butyral (PVB) plasticizer and synthetic lubricants. 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid reacts with metallic components such as cobalt and manganese to form metallic salt derivatives. 2-Ethylhexanoic acid based metallic salts are further used for the production of paint dryers. In cosmetic industry, 2-Ethylhexanoic acid is used for the production of emollients.
2-Ethylhexanoic Acid Market: Market Dynamics
Growing demand for plasticizers and stabilizers from the end use industries coupled with increasing consumption of synthetic lubricants is expected to help bolster the growth of 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid market over the forecast period. Further, growing consumption of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) and polyvinylchloride (PVC) is expected to in turn result in increased demand for 2-Ethylhexanoic acid as it used as plasticizer and stabilizer for these compounds. Increase in demand for paint dryer from paints and coatings industry in turn is expected to propel the demand for 2-Ethylhexanoic acid. Moreover, 2-ethylhexanoic acid is used as a corrosion inhibitor in automotive coolants and as catalyst in the production of polymers. Increasing demand from these application is expected to fuel the demand for 2-ethylhexanoic acid. Special precautions for personnel safety have to be taken during the production and handling owing to the toxic nature of 2-ethylhexanoic acid. Government regulations in developed countries have impacted the use of 2-ethylhexanoic acid and its derivatives to certain extent, especially in cosmetics application.
