Propylene glycol methyl ether acetate (PMA)Also known as propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, the appearance is colorless and transparent The liquid is a deep-processed product that uses propylene glycol methyl ether as the starting material and reacts with acetic acid. As a high-grade solvent with excellent performance, the molecular structure of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate not only contains ether bonds and carbonyl groups, which form the structure of ester, but also contains alkyl groups. In recent years, as environmental protection supervision has become increasingly strict, the application fields of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate have gradually expanded, and the market size has continued to expand.
Propylene glycol methyl ether acetate is mainly used as a solvent in Coatings, inks, printing and dyeing, textiles, semiconductors, LCD screens, photoresists, electronic cleaning and other fields. According to different application fields, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate can be divided into two categories: industrial grade propylene glycol methyl ether acetate and electronic grade propylene glycol methyl ether acetate. Due to the difficulty in producing electronic grade propylene glycol methyl ether acetate and high purity requirements, currently The supply scale of domestic electronic grade propylene glycol methyl ether acetate is still small, especially in the high-end semiconductor field. At this stage, there is no domestic mass production capacity of semiconductor grade propylene glycol methyl ether acetate.
According to “2021-2025 China Propylene Glycol Methyl Ether Acetate (PMA) Project Investment Feasibility Research Report” shows that with the release of downstream market demand, and National support has increased. From 2010 to 2020, the production capacity of China’s propylene glycol methyl ether acetate industry has expanded rapidly, with an average annual compound growth rate of more than 20%. At this stage, domestic production capacity has reached 400,000 tons. At present, my country has become the world’s largest producer of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, accounting for approximately 36% of global production. From the perspective of domestic production distribution, my country’s propylene glycol methyl ether acetate production capacity is mainly concentrated in East China, South China and other regions, of which the production capacity in East China The highest proportion.
In the international market, the main manufacturers of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate include Dow Chemical, Leondell Basel, Shell Company, Eastman Chemical, BASF of Germany, etc. As the global industry shifts eastward, China has become one of the regions with the fastest growing production capacity of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate. With the increase in new production capacity and the commissioning of production capacity under construction, the scale of China’s propylene glycol methyl ether acetate industry will further expand. At present, my country’s related manufacturers of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate include Jiangsu Dana Chemical, Jiangsu Yida Chemical, Jiangsu Hualun Chemical, Jiangsu Sanmu Group, Jiangsu Baichuan Hi-Tech New Materials, etc.
New Thinking industry analysts said that as a high-grade solvent with excellent performance, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate has a wide range of applications, with the continued release of market demand and the commissioning of projects under construction, my country’s production capacity of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate will be further improved. At this stage, my country has become the world’s largest producer of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate. However, due to technical limitations, my country’s production capacity of electronic grade propylene glycol methyl ether acetate is still low, and there is broad room for domestic substitution of electronic grade propylene glycol methyl ether acetate
