2-Ethylhexanoic Acid Production Cost Breakup from Propylene

Details: Germany - based plant Q2 2024  | From $ USD

This report proffers the thorough economics of 2-ethylhexanoic acid production from propylene. The production process of 2-ethylhexanoic acid begins with the hydroformylation of propylene to give butyraldehyde using carbon monoxide and hydrogen. It then undergoes self-condensation, yielding 2-ethyl-2-hexenal (2E2H), which on hydrogenation leads to produce 2-ethylhexenal as an intermediate. Finally, the intermediate is then oxidized in the presence of oxygen to produce 2-ethylhexanoic acid as the final product.

Top Producers of 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid

  • BASF SE
  • Perstorp Holding AB
  • Elekeiroz
  • The Eastman Chemical Company
  • Dow Inc.

Feedstocks for 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid

2-Ethylhexanoic acid is an alkene derivative obtained by using propylene as its major feedstock. The procurement of 20ethylhexanoic acid is largely influenced by factors including the production and availability of its feedstocks (including propylene, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, etc.), along with its manufacturing cost and variation in its market prices, etc. Moreover, crucial factors, including its demand observed in the plastic, resin, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as logistics, trade, and transportation policies, directly determine its procurement across the globe. Similarly, factors such as governmental regulation and socioeconomic conditions impact its procurement.
