Market Drivers and Trends

 

 

Growing Applications in Paints and Coatings

 

 

Ethyl acetate plays a significant role in coatings production, as it is used in formulating a wide array of coatings such as epoxies, urethanes, cellulosic, acrylics, and vinyl. These coatings are widely applied in automotive refinishing, architectural coatings, and wood varnishes. In addition, it serves as a solvent for adhesives, faux leather spread-coating compounds, and cleaners. Ethyl acetate is also commonly used in printing inks, where its low toxicity and appealing fragrance make it ideal for flexographic and rotogravure printing.

 

 

Increased Use in Food and Pharmaceuticals

 

 

In food and beverage industries, ethyl acetate is utilized as a flavor enhancer due to its fruity aroma, making it suitable for items like candies, gum, and baked goods. Approved by the U.S. FDA as safe for use as a synthetic flavoring agent, ethyl acetate is also used as an extraction solvent in pharmaceutical and food applications. These growing applications are expected to further boost market revenue.
