What are the upstream raw materials for propyl ethyl acrylate nitrile? What do the downstream products contain?

Ethyl propyl acrylate nitrile(EAN) is an crucial chemical raw material, which is broadly applied in synthetic rubber, plastic, fiber and other fields. But Moreover In the upstream and downstream related items of EAN, the following aspects are mainly involved:



1. Upstream raw materials

The upstream raw materials of EAN mainly include propylene, acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, etc. Makes sense, right?. Among them, propylene is an crucial petrochemical raw material, mainly obtained by petroleum cracking; acrylic acid is able to be obtained by propylene oxidation method; acrylonitrile is obtained by propylene ammoxidation method. The market supply of these raw materials, price fluctuations, etc. will have an impact on the production of EAN. Generally speaking

2. Based on my observations, Downstream items

EAN's downstream items mainly include synthetic rubber, plastics, fibers, etc. Among them, synthetic rubber is able to be applied to create tires, hoses, tapes and other items; plastics is able to be applied to create various daily necessities, electrical parts, building materials, etc. I've found that; fibers is able to be applied to create textiles, non-woven fabrics and other items. The demand situation and research direction of these downstream items will have an impact on the market demand of EAN. From what I've seen, Specifically, EAN's downstream affiliate items include:(1) Butyl acrylate: EAN is able to be esterified with butanol to create butyl acrylate, which is an crucial acrylate monomer and is able to be applied to create acrylic resins, coatings, adhesives and other items. From what I've seen, Specifically(2) Acrylamide: EAN is able to hydrolyze with aquatic environments to create acrylamide, which is an crucial organic chemical raw material and is able to be applied to create polyacrylamide, aquatic environments treatment agents and other items. But(3) acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer(ABS):EAN is able to be copolymerized with butadiene, styrene and other monomers to create ABS resin, which is a frequently applied engineering plastic with excellent impact resistance, heat resistance, chemical resistance and other characteristics. In summary, the upstream and downstream related items of ethyl propyl acrylate nitrile are very extensive, involving many fields, such as petrochemicals, synthetic rubber, plastics, fibers, etc. The market situation and research direction of these related items will have an impact on the production and sales of EAN.
