Chlordane Production Cost Reports

The report provides a detailed analysis essential for establishing a Chlordane manufacturing plant. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for Chlordane production, including the cost of Chlordane production, Chlordane plant cost, Chlordane production costs, and the overall Chlordane manufacturing plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a Chlordane production plant. These encompass manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.

Chlordane is a chemical compound that is widely recognized for its use as an insecticide. It is widely used as a pesticide for controlling insects and termites on various crops. It is utilized for pest control in lawns and gardens. It also finds its application as an ingredient in manufacturing many garden and household pesticides. It is mainly used to get rid of termites in agricultural practices and housing foundations.

The market for chlordane is primarily driven by its demand as a broad-spectrum insecticide to control insects in residential lawns and agricultural fields. Its application as an insecticide on a wide variety of crops further enhances its demand in the agriculture sector. Its utilization in pest control in gardens and buildings, including homes, also promotes its demand in the public health and pest control industries.

Additionally, environmental laws, health concerns, and sustainable practices direct how chlordane is manufactured, which also affects its supply chain. Increasing agricultural productivity, along with the rise in crop losses due to insect infestation, also makes it a sought-after commodity in the market. The growing demand for insecticides from the agricultural and pest control industries, with an increase in farming practices, directly impacts industrial chlordane procurement.

Raw Material for Chlordane Production

According to the Chlordane manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Chlordane production include Hexachlorocyclopentadiene-Cyclopentadiene.

Manufacturing Process of Chlordane

The extensive Chlordane production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

1. Production via Chlorination: This method of production involves the use of hexachlorocyclopentadiene and cyclopentadiene as the raw materials for the synthesis of chlordane as the product. The process starts with a Diels-Alder addition reaction of hexachlorocyclopentadiene and cyclopentadiene to obtain chlordene. Further, the obtained chlordene undergoes chlorination, which results in the formation of chlordane as the final product.

Chlordane is a synthetic organochlorine compound with the chemical formula C10H6Cl8 and a molecular mass of around 409.78 g/mol. It is known for its use as an insecticide. This amber-colored liquid consists of a complex mixture of different chlorinated compounds, including the principle isomer hexachlorotetrahydromethanoindene, which is produced through the chlorination of cyclodiene precursors.

The melting and boiling point of the compound is 106-17°C and 175-180°C, respectively. It is a toxic chemical and can be absorbed through the skin, posing risks such as liver damage. The flash point and autoignition temperature of the compound are 110°C and -254 °C, respectively. Its extensive use during the 1960s, particularly for termite treatment in buildings, has led to long-term environmental and health concerns.
