Hexylene Glycol Production By Catalytic Chemical Reaction
Production Cost Report | Chemicals
Details: Germany - based plant Q1 2024 | From $ USD
This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of hexylene glycol production by catalytic chemical reaction. The synthesis of hexylene glycol is initiated by the chemical reaction between diacetone alcohol and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. The process begins with the condensation of acetone in the presence of a base catalyst, such as barium hydroxide, to give diacetone alcohol as a product. It is further hydrogenated with hydrogen in the presence of an achiral reagent and yields hexylene glycol as the final product.

Feedstocks for Hexylene Glycol
Hexylene glycol is prepared by using diacetone alcohol, hydrogen, and achiral reagents as some of its major feedstocks. The procurement of hexylene glycol and its feedstocks is determined by several factors. Some of the major factors include the availability of the raw material (acetone, hydrogen, and more), activities in the upstream market, maintenance of stability in the supply chain, and demand from its downstream industries (including chemical, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, etc.). Moreover, the trading activities, logistics, along with trade and governmental policies altogether play a vital role in governing its procurement on a large scale.
