1. Glycol Ether Pricing Overview E-mail : info@chemanalyst.com | website : www.chemanalyst.com/ Market Overview Asia With several producers reducing their operating rates and a few of them imposing a temporary turnaround, Glycol Ether supply considerably reduced in Q3. Limited feedstock or sometimes poor margins compelled Butyl Glycol producers in China to opt for frequent temporary turnarounds. Trade disruptions caused by the global pandemic followed by poor weather exacerbated this supply crisis. Demand in China picked up by September due to early stockpiling activities observed before the Golden Weeklong holidays scheduled next month. Amidst the supply crises, China launched an anti- dumping and anti-subsidy probe to check on fair-trade deals from the US Glycol market. Demand in Southeast Asia appreciably improved as industries gathered prominent pace to make up for the loss incurred in the previous quarter. Driven by the reduced imports, prices of Butyl Glycol in India showcased a consistent month-on-month increment, averaging at USD 768 per MT in Q3.

Glycol Ether Pricing Overview E-mail : info@chemanalyst.com | website : www.chemanalyst.com/ Europe In the early part of the quarter, the supply of Glycol Ethers remained ample on the back of subdued demand and no scheduled turnarounds. In late July, restricted imports from the US aided to stabilize this widened demand and supply. Substantial revival in downstream demand further supported in stabilizing the narrowed margins of Glycol Ethers in the region. However, in the final weeks of September, demand fundamentals tapered off again due to the resurgence of coronavirus in some parts of the region leading to a fall in prices of Glycol Ethers.

5. Glycol Ether Pricing Overview E-mail : info@chemanalyst.com | website : www.chemanalyst.com/ About Glycol Ether are organic liquid solvents containing ether and alcohol as their primary functional groups. These compounds are regarded as versatile solvents for various industrial and domestic uses since they are highly soluble in water as well as other organic liquids. Overall consumption of Glycol Ethers is dominated by its utilization as a solvent for numerous formulations like inks, paints, and cleaning fluids. Other than solvent applications it is also used in anti-icing agents, brake fluids, and chemical intermediates. It is even considered an essential compound for manufacturing surface coatings. Glycol Ethers are conventionally produced by reacting Ethylene Oxide or Propylene Oxide with alcohols like Ethanol or Butanol in a catalytic process under isothermal and adiabatic conditions. However, Ethylene Oxide is also reacted directly with Monoethylene Glycol Ethers to form its higher homologues like Diethylene Glycol Ethers or Triethylene Glycol Ethers. Glycol Ethers can be categorized as P-Series and E-Series depending upon whether they are produced by Propylene Glycol or Ethylene Glycol Ethers.
