Ethylhexyl Acrylate Prices

Ethylhexyl Acrylate Prices December 2023

In the USA, the prices of ethylhexyl acrylate increased by 0.8% on a quarter-on-quarter basis reaching 1571 USD/MT (DEL-Louisiana). This increase is despite the weak demand from the paints and coatings industry as well as limited supply. Acrylic Prices were impacted by the cost increases of upstream feedstock Acrylic Acid, but other factors like the overall market conditions were not favorable, which led to the price decrease because of low demands from downstream industries paint and coatings.

The ethylhexyl acrylate price in China rose to a similar trend in the last month of the year showing an increase of 9% that was carried on by the high demand from the Paints and Coating industry along with low stocks. The Q4 trend, seasonality, and the risk-on factor along with its rise by 4.73% quarterly and by 27% yearly were all positive. The price of 1787 USD/MT FOB Qingdao at quarter-end.

In Q4 of 2023, the ethylhexyl Acrylate market in Germany demonstrated a downward cycle. Price dropped by 6.03% compared to Q3 2023 and by 39% compared to Q4 2022. This was a result of the combination of low demand that was seen in the downstream sector, high supply, and the declining prices at feedstock. The economic aspects like inflation and PMI altered the market environment. Last quarter in Germany (FB-Hamburg) the closing price was 1680 USD/MT.

Product Description

Ethylhexyl Acrylate (EHA) is a type of organic compound that derives its status as a derivative or ester from acrylic acid; it occurs commonly in the manufacturing of polymers and copolymers. It is prepared via the esterification of 2-ethylhexanol with acrylic acid which includes catalysts like metal oxides to speed up the reaction rate and conversion yield.

It is a well-known colorless liquid with a distinct mustardy smell that is the polymer form found in the form of flexible, weather-resistant polymers. EHA is an extremely important monomer that can bring extraordinary application properties e.g. transparency, crystal water resistance, and glossiness (gloss) when copolymerized with other monomers like styrene, acrylates, or vinyl acetate. It is the main type, which can be divided into different formulations that change the reaction rate and the characteristics of the obtained copolymers to the best for each particular application.

EHA is one of the most useful catalysts in adhesive manufacturing comfort productions, paints, coatings, textiles, and sealants because it improves their performance and lifespan. EHA offers numerous advantages including a longer product life span, beauty amplification, and shielding from surrounding conditions, which make them a valuable and inseparable part of different industrial products.

Europe Ethylhexyl Acrylate Price

During the last quarter of 2023, the European ethylhexyl acrylate market experienced a drop in prices because there was a surplus supply over sluggish demand from the downstream paints and coatings counter. Part of this bearish movement was an Acrylic Acid price drop while other materials prices were also reduced and hence led to ethylhexyl acrylate cost reduction. Economic factors were also contributing (to the dynamics of the markets), such as Germany’s inflation rate and the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI). In addition to no plant production that would have decreased supply figures and avoided other market disruptions, the situation remained in high-supply territory, which further dropped the price in the demanding market at the time.

North America Ethylhexyl Acrylate Price

In the North American market quarter 4 of 2023, the ethylhexyl acrylate market saw a dip which resulted from the weak demand of the paint and coatings industry, as well as the inventory of the product, was adequate. In turn, this efficient provision instigated the producers to scale up the production to a level that is less prone to oversupply thereby encouraging the bearish market mood. This constitution, together with the commodity's slightly lower prices, which experienced a 0.8% decrease from the previous quarter, might be attributed to the reduction in demand for the product. Moreover, the presence of market dynamics was free of disruptions resulting from plant shutdowns, due to none of them occurring during this time, hence revealing the supply-demand imbalance as the major cause of the market trend.
