Ethyl Acrylate is an organic compound that is widely used as a feedstock in the synthesis of polymers as well as the synthesis of organic low molecular weight substances. It is often used to make homopolymers and copolymers. It is also utilized in the production of polymers, including plastics, paints, resins, rubber, and denture material. It finds application as a raw material in fiber processing agents, coatings, acrylic rubber, adhesives, plastics, emulsions, paints, and plastics. Moreover, the chemical also finds use in polyacrylate elastomers, acrylic rubber, textiles, acrylic fibres, and leather products. Other applications of EA include ink binder resins, textile, leather, and paper coatings.

The market for ethyl acrylate is predominantly driven by its wide usage in producing emulsion-base polymers and a feedstock in the chemical synthesis of organic and inorganic compounds, synthesis of polymers, water-based adhesives, latex paints, plastics, acrylic rubber, and denture materials, which promotes its market expansion and enhances its demand in the chemical manufacturing, polymer, paints & coatings, plastics, rubber, and dental industries.

Additionally, it is also used in the manufacture of textiles, acrylic fibers, leather products, and polyacrylate elastomers that are further utilized in the automotive, aerospace, and oil & gas industries. These applications further amplify its demand in the textiles & apparel, leather, and rubber & elastomer industries. Furthermore, several factors influence industrial ethyl acrylate procurement, such as the cost and availability of its feedstock (ethanol and acrylic acid), the market prices of ethyl acrylate, environmental regulations, and its distribution, which includes trading and transportation, logistics, etc.

Raw Material for Ethyl Acrylate Production

According to the Ethyl Acrylate manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Ethyl Acrylate production include Acrylic Acid-Ethanol.

Manufacturing Process of Ethyl Acrylate

The extensive Ethyl Acrylate production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production from Acrylic Acid and Ethanol: The process takes place in a fixed-bed reactor, where the esterification reaction between acrylic acid and ethanol occurs in the presence of an acid catalyst, resulting in ethyl acrylate as the final product.

Ethyl Acrylate (EA) (C5H8O2) is an acrylic acid and ethanol ester. It is found in pineapple. It can be chemically manufactured via many industrial methods. It is a clear, colourless liquid with a strong and pungent ester smell. It has a molecular weight of 100.117 g/mol and a density of 0.918 g/ml and has a flash point of 60 °F. It is less dense than water and has vapours heavier than air. It is a carcinogen, a volatile liquid which is fully soluble in alcohols, ethers and almost all organic solvents. It is an extremely flammable liquid.  Its respective boiling and melting point is 210 °F / 99 °C and -96 °F / -71 °C.
