Methylal is manufactured by oxidizing methanol or through reaction of formaldehyde and methanol. It is a clear, colourless flammable liquid with a low boiling point, low viscosity, and excellent dissolving power. Methylal is soluble in water and miscible with most common organic solvents. It is therefore used primarily as a solvent in the manufacturing of resins, adhesives, paint strippers, and protective coatings.
Methanol and formaldehyde are the main raw materials. Most manufacturers produce raw materials by themselves.
Methylal is often applied in solvents, polymers, fuel additive and others, of which solvent industry occupies the largest share. Methylal in China was banned to add in fuel additive in 2014. The proportion of application in the fuel additive has reduced a lot since then.
The price of methylal keeps decreasing in 2015 owing to raw material price. The price is at about 475 - 1601 USD/MT in 2015. The price is closely related to the purity of methylal. High purity methylal (more than 99%) is significantly higher than the lower purity product (86%~90%). The product profit margin is about 8.36 % - 24.12% in 2015. In the next few years, we predict that price will continue to decline. As competition intensifies, prices gap between different brands will go narrowing.
