Future Market Insights has announced the addition of the “N-Ethyl-2-Pyrrolidone Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment 2015 - 2025" report to their offering.

 

Valley Cottage, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/29/2016 -- N-Ethyl-2-Pyrrolidone, commonly referred to as NEP, is a highly polar aprotic solvent having a chemical structure C6H11NO. The chemical, depending on the application, is used either as a catalyst or a surfactant or as a solvent. This highly stable weak alkaline organic solvent exhibits complete miscibility in water and is soluble in organic solvents. Moreover, N-Ethyl-2-Pyrrolidone is a colourless to yellow liquid characterized by an amine like odour and is used in certain chemical reactions involving hydrolysis, condensation, polymerization among others. NEP often finds application as a substitute for N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP) which is used on a wider scale across diverse industries. NEP is consumed by diverse industries such as paints & coatings, industrial cleaners, petrochemical processing, desulfurization of gases, among others.

N-Ethyl-2-Pyrrolidone Market: Drivers & Restraints

The use of NMP in applications such as in paints & coatings and industrial cleaners which involve prolonged exposure to the chemical has been under scrutiny by regulatory bodies such as Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - US and European Chemical Agency (ECHA). It has been identified as a reproductive toxin and as such its use in these applications is expected to witness stringent regulations and/or restrictions. NEP, which exhibited properties similar to those of NMP was considered an apt replacement for NMP. However, NEP too has been classified as a reproductive toxin, as such, its use in certain applications is expected to witness the same fate as that of NMP. However, the growth of end use industries is likely to result in growth in demand for NEP. These aforementioned factors in turn are expected to result in a sluggish growth of global N-Ethyl-2-Pyrrolidone market over the forecast period.
