Hexamethylenediamine Production Cost Reports

Hexamethylenediamine production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Hexamethylenediamine production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Hexamethylenediamine. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

The report also provides detailed insights into project economics including capital investments, project funding, operating expenses, income and expenditure projections, fixed costs vs variable costs, direct and indirect costs, expected ROI and NPV, profit and loss account, financial analysis, etc.

Hexamethylenediamine (formally hexane-1,6-diamine) (C6H16N2) is an organic compound which is a diamine, comprising a hexamethylene hydrocarbon chain terminated with amine functional groups. It is produced using the hydrogenation of adiponitrile. It is a C6 alkane-alpha, omega-diamine, that has the role of a human xenobiotic metabolite. It is a derivative of a hydride of a hexane.

Hexamethylenediamine looks like a colourless, crystalline low-melting solid with a strong amine, ammonia-like or fishy odour, like piperidine. It is water soluble. It is corrosive to tissue and metals and produces toxic nitrogen oxides during combustion. It has a molar mass of 116.21 g/mol and a density of 0.84 g/cm3. Its respective melting, boiling and flash points are 42 °C, 205 °C, and 93 °C. It is freely soluble in water (490 g/L).

Hexamethylenediamine is primarily used for making polymers which are driving its market growth. It is used for making nylon 6,6, a polyamide with extensive application in the textiles and plastics industry. It is also used to produce hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), which is used as a monomer feedstock in the production of polyurethane.

It works like a cross-linking agent in epoxy resins. Also, since there is a huge demand for nylon 6,6, which requires Hexamethylenediamine for its production, there has been increasing focus on R&D to develop a bio-based production method for the chemical, which will be more cost-efficient, furthering the advancement opportunities in the sector.
