Poor demand, ethyl acetate prices down

According to the block data monitoring of the business community, affected by the end market holiday, the domestic ethyl acetate Market was weak. As of February 8, the average price of enterprises in East China was about 7812 yuan / ton, down 2.5% compared with the same period last week and up 14.47% compared with the same period last month.
