Diphenylamine is an aromatic amine that has various industrial applications. It is widely used as an anti-scald agent in the agriculture sector to prevent scald on certain fruits like apples and pears during storage. It also finds its application as a stabilizer in manufacturing certain explosive materials, including smokeless gunpowders. It is also used as an intermediate in producing functional dyes and other antioxidant chemicals. It is also associated with manufacturing celluloid for film and nitrocellulose products. It is also employed in the production of various types of plastic and rubber products. It is also sometimes used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemical compounds and certain pharmaceutical products as well.

The market for Diphenylamine is determined primarily by its involvement in the production of functional dyes and antioxidants that highlight its versatility and increase its demand. Its application as a component in manufacturing rubber and plastic products to prevent heat and oxidation further promotes its demand in the rubber and plastics industries. Its usage in the producing nitrocellulose products also contributes to its demand in the manufacturing industry. Its association with the defense and firearms industry for producing explosives remarkably fuels its market growth. Additionally, numerous factors, such as the availability of raw materials (aniline, etc.), its application in the defense industry, distribution, supplier relationship, and quality standards, are some factors that influence industrial Diphenylamine procurement to a large extent.

Raw Material for Diphenylamine Production

According to the Diphenylamine manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Diphenylamine production include Aniline Hydrochloride-Aniline.

Manufacturing Process of Diphenylamine

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

• Production from Aniline: This method of production involves the chemical reaction between aniline hydrochloride and excess aniline to produce diphenylamine. The process is initiated by heating aniline hydrochloride with aniline in excess under pressure, followed by distillation results in the formation of pure diphenylamine as the final product. Further, the excess aniline left is then extracted by using dilute hydrochloric acid.

Diphenylamine, having a molecular formula of C12H11N, appears as a light tan to brown solid and consists of twelve carbon, eleven hydrogen, and one nitrogen atom. It is toxic, with a molecular weight of 169.22 g/mol, and emits a pleasant, floral odor. The compound is hazardous, potentially causing skin and eye irritation upon exposure. This aromatic chemical exists in solid or powdered form and is characterized by two phenyl substituents. It has a melting point of about 53 °C and a boiling point of around 302 °C. Diphenylamine is a combustible solid with a flash point near 153 °C. Notably, it has an autoignition temperature of approximately 634 °C and can decompose under heat, releasing toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides. Solubility-wise, Diphenylamine dissolves in several chemical solvents, including acetone, ethanol, benzene, pyridine, carbon tetrachloride, ethyl acetate, acetic acid, and ether. However, it shows poor solubility in water.
