China and Other Emerging Markets To Drive the Global Acetic Acid Market

NOIDA, India - Aug. 26, 2015 - PRLog -- Acetic acid, also known as acetyl hydroxide, glacial acetic acid and ethanoic acid, is a free-flowing liquid with a pungent, vinegar like odour. It is an important chemical reagent and an industrial chemical with its global demand growing at around 3-4% annually. Developed by BASF and improved by Monsanto in the 1960s, carbonylation of methanol catalyzed by rhodium currently represents the most popular technology for its industrial production.

Acetic acid finds applications in the manufacturing of a number of chemical compounds, insecticides, cosmetics, dyes, plastics, pharmaceuticals, antibiotics, etc. Acetic acid also provides the necessary acidity in the number of processes carried out in an aqueous media. Dilute acetic acid is used either or both as a preservative and flavoring agent in food stuffs such as condiments, jellies, confectionery and pickled vegetables. It is also used as a coagulant for rubber latex in the manufacturing of elastic threads, as a solvent for gums, resins and volatile oils and in textile printing. The largest application of acetic acid is- vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) which accounts for more than one-third of its total global consumption. VAM’s major end uses are in emulsion paints, adhesives and coatings. Among the various applications of acetic acid, ethanol production currently represents the fastest and one of the most potential application sectors. Regionally, China currently represents the largest producer and consumer of acetic acid and along with other emerging markets is expected to represent the main growth engine in the coming years.
