The American Acrylate Ester producers witnessed stable Q-o-Q growth amid disrupted economy and ample product supply demand. The regional buying interest seemed to improve by the mid of the quarter, especially from the construction coatings and packaging adhesives, with lengthened supply pressuring the regional rates. However, the sentiments for US Acrylates remained bolstered as the demand from the adhesives and architectural coatings showed an uptick. Pricing curve remained flattened, showing modest improvement in August due to firming Propylene. US Acrylates plant utilization levels rose to 70% from nearly 50% in the first quarter. While coronavirus restrictions eased early in the period, fears of a new wave of infections in the US kept some demand constraints and limited the Q3 growth. Major US Acrylates suppliers include Arkema, BASF, Dow Chemical and Sasol.

Possessing two hydrogen and two carbon atoms in its chemical formula, Acetylene (C2H2) is the simplest alkyne and is the hottest and most efficient of all fuel gases. It is a highly flammable gas, which decomposes explosively. The presence of commercial Acetylene, which is lighter than air, can be detected by a distinct garlic-like smell. It is generally transported by dissolving in Acetone or DMF (dimethylformamide) in specially designed cylinders to prevent decomposition. Traditionally, Acetylene was produced from the reaction of Calcium Carbide with water. But nowadays, it is also often produced as a by-product of Ethylene production. In the United States, this colorless gas is commonly made from Natural Gas and Oxygen. A low flame moisture content makes Acetylene a great choice for many critical heating applications. Typical applications include flame heating, flame gouging, welding, flame cleaning, flame straightening, spot-heating, brazing, profile-cutting, carbon coating. Because it is lighter than air, Acetylene is the only fuel gas recommended for underground working conditions. Acetylene is also used in atomic absorption flame spectroscopy, wherein it is combined with high-purity synthetic air or nitrous oxide as a fuel for producing flame. Apart from being used as a fuel gas, Acetylene has many less-popular applications such as production of plastics, pharmaceuticals, solvents, electrochemical and highly elastic textile fibers. It also plays a crucial role in laboratory synthesis. Acetylene gas is also used in the production of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), which is one of the most widely used polymers across the globe.
