Isopropyl acetate is a kind of important fine chemical intermediates, with strong solubility, low toxicity, volatilization, little residue, good alkaline resistance and other excellent properties, widely used in ink, paint, paint, medicine, chemical industry, pesticide and other fields. Specifically, in the field of coatings, isopropyl acetate is widely used in interior decoration paint, wood paint, toy paint, mobile phone paint and other production scenarios with its low toxicity and strong solubility. In the field of chemical industry, it can be widely used as a dehydrating agent in the acetic acid recovery unit of PTA, acetate fiber, Vinylon, etc.
Isopropyl acetate is one of the key raw materials required for the production of Vinylon. At present, under the background of the continuous improvement of domestic vinylon production, its market demand is increasing, which leads to the continuous improvement of production. In 2022, the domestic production of Vinylon has exceeded 95,000 tons, and the output is in a steady growth trend. In 2022, the domestic isopropyl acetate production capacity has exceeded 200000 tons, which ranks among the top in the world, and China has become the main producer and exporter of isopropyl acetate in the world.
Isopropyl acetate, as a class of carboxylate compounds with higher volatility and solubility than butyl acetate and ethyl acetate, has a wide range of applications and broad market development space. After recent years of development, under the background of the continuous maturity of production technology, China has become the main production and exporter of isopropyl acetate in the world, and the development trend of the industry is good. However, at present, the domestic isopropyl acetate industry concentration is low, with a small number of leading enterprises with scale and technical advantages, the future of local enterprises need to speed up the level of production technology, increase the development trend of product scale, and promote the rapid development of the industry.
