    Recently, Dow will invest in the expansion of 50,000 tons/year of methyl acrylate (MA) production capacity on the Gulf Coast of the United States
    .


    The new production capacity is located in St.


    The company said that once the project is put into operation, Dow's business in St.
    Charles will focus on the production of methyl acrylate (MA) and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA)
    .


    The production of ethyl acrylate (EA) will be fully supported by its base in Deer Park, Texas


    "Methyl acrylate is a key component of a variety of applications, from water treatment and thermoplastic products to inks, resins and packaging materials, the market demand is still growing
    .


    " Dow functional monomers and plastic additives global business director Jim Knaub said


    According to IHS Markit Global Acrylic Acid and SAP Polymer Monthly Market Report, in recent months, most of the methyl acrylate production in North America has been in a state of force majeure.
    The demand for acrylic esters continues to increase and the supply is tight
    .


    At the same time, Dow recently announced that the prices of MA, 2-EHA, butyl acrylate (BA) and ethyl acrylate (EA) have risen by 20 cents per pound across the board
