2EHA High-Purity Acrylate Monomer | 50,000 Tons Annual Capacity

2-Ethylhexyl acrylate (2EHA) prices are influenced by a complex interplay of factors, including raw material costs, production expenses, market demand, and supply chain dynamics. Raw materials—acrylic acid and 2-ethylhexanol—are primary drivers: fluctuations in their prices, due to feedstock (propylene, ethylene) availability, energy costs, or geopolitical issues, directly impact 2EHA pricing. For example, a shortage of acrylic acid can raise 2EHA costs, while oversupply may lead to price reductions. Production expenses, including energy for esterification and distillation, labor, and maintenance of catalytic polymerization equipment, also contribute to pricing, with efficient manufacturers like E Plus Chemical Co., Ltd. mitigating these through scale (50,000-ton annual capacity) and integrated supply chains. Market demand, particularly from adhesives and coatings industries, affects prices: peak seasons or new application trends can drive up demand, increasing prices, while economic downturns may reduce demand and lower prices. Regional factors, such as transportation costs, tariffs, and local regulations, create price variations across markets. E Plus Chemical’s 99% purity 2EHA may command a premium over lower-purity alternatives due to its suitability for high-end applications. Bulk purchasers often receive discounts, as larger orders reduce per-unit handling costs. Overall, 2EHA prices reflect these variables, with transparent suppliers providing consistent pricing aligned with quality and market conditions.
