METHYL ACETATE

~ also known as Tereton; 79-20-9; Devoton; Acetic acid methyl ester; Methyl ethanoate; etc. belongs to the family of Carboxylic Acid Esters. The global market for methyl acetate and other exempt solvents was valued at over USD 1.54 billion in 2016. It is expected to reach USD 2.42 billion in 2022 and grow at a CAGR of slightly above 3.0% between 2017 and 2022.

Chemical structure: C₃H₆O₂ or CH₃COOCH₃. It is a carboxylate ester whose formula can also be written as MeOAc.

Properties: Methyl acetate is a non-polar (lipophilic) to weakly polar (hydrophilic) aprotic solvent. Methyl acetate has a solubility of 25% in water at room temperature. At elevated temperature, its solubility in water is much higher...

~ also known as Phenylmethanol; Benzoyl alcohol; Benzenemethanol; 100-51-6; Phenylcarbinol; etc. is produced naturally by many plants and is commonly found in fruits and teas. It is also found in a variety of essential oils including jasmine, hyacinth, ylang-ylang, and in castoreum from the castor sacs of beavers. Due to increasing demand from end-use industries, the global Benzyl Alcohol Market is expected to reach US$282.3 million by 2025, expanding at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period 2017 – 2025.

Chemical structure: Benzyl alcohol is an aromatic alcohol with the formula C₇H₈O or C₆H₅CH₂OH. The benzyl group is often abbreviated “Bn”, thus benzyl alcohol is denoted as BnOH.

Properties: Benzyl alcohol is a colorless liquid with a mild pleasant aromatic odor...

IRON OXIDE

~ also known as Iron(II) oxide; ferrous oxide; Iron monooxide; Oxoiron; 1345-25-1; Iron monoxide; etc. is an inorganic compound and one of the several iron oxides. The global iron oxide market is projected to increase at a CAGR of 4.3% between 2015 – 2025, owing to its wide application as pigments, catalysts, etc. Construction and paints & coatings are the major end-use industries for iron oxides.

Chemical structure: FeO. Typical iron deficient (non-stoichiometric) form also exists, with compositions ranging from Fe_0.84O to Fe_0.95O.

Properties: Iron oxide mainly exists as black cubic crystals. It is practically insoluble in water and alkalies, but readily sol in acids.

FeC₂O₄ → FeO + CO₂ ...

BUTYL ACRYLATE 

~ also known as N-Butyl acrylate; 141-32-2; Butyl prop-2-enoate; N-Butyl propenoate; Acrylic acid butyl ester; etc. is a chemical used in manufacturing. Global Butyl Acrylate market will be worth $9.4 Billion by 2018. Butyl acrylate market size will witness a strong growth by 2024 due to increasing potential applications in various end-use industries.

Chemical structure: CH₂=CHCOOC₄H₉ or C₇H₁₂O₂. It is highly reactive and polymerizes easily when exposed to heat or peroxides.

Properties: Butyl acrylate is a clear colorless liquid with a sharp characteristic odor. It is slightly soluble in water and somewhat less dense than water.

Butyl acrylate can be produced in several reactions.
