Hexamine Production Cost Reports

The report provides a detailed analysis essential for establishing a Hexamine manufacturing plant. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for Hexamine production, including the cost of Hexamine production, Hexamine plant cost, Hexamine production costs, and the overall Hexamine manufacturing plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a Hexamine 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. 

Hexamine is an organic compound that serves as an anti-infective agent and finds major applications in the medical industry. It is primarily used for the treatment of urinary infections due to its antibacterial activities. It is used as a hardening agent in the production of phenolic resins and as a binder in manufacturing brake and clutch linings, fireproof materials, abrasive products, and non-woven textiles. One of the notable uses of Hexamine is in combination with 1,3,5-trioxane for producing fuel tablets. These can be used in military applications and by campers for heating food. It also finds its application as an accelerator in the vulcanization process of rubber to enhance the mechanical properties of the final product.

The market for Hexamine is primarily led by its application as a curing agent, which helps in the cross-linking of rubber molecules and contributes to its demand in the rubber industry. Its application in the pharmaceutical industry because of its efficacy against infection-causing bacteria further enhances its market growth. Its usage in the production of phenolic resins, clutch linings, fireproof construction materials, and non-woven textiles largely promotes its demand in the chemical, automotive, construction & building materials, and textiles industries. Its involvement in the outdoor and recreational industry, as well as the defense industry for producing fuel tablets, also boosts its market growth. Additionally, numerous factors, such as the availability of raw materials (Formaldehyde, etc.), cost, its application in the pharmaceutical industry, supplier relationship, distribution, and quality standards, largely influence industrial Hexamine procurement to a large extent.

Raw Material for Hexamine Production

According to the Hexamine manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Hexamine production include Formaldehyde-Ammonia.

Manufacturing Process of Hexamine

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

• Production from Formaldehyde: This method of production involves the use of formaldehyde (CH2O) and ammonia (NH3) as the starting materials for the synthesis of hexamine as the product. The process starts with the reaction of formaldehyde and ammonia under controlled conditions of temperature between 0 and 90 °C and pH to obtain hexamine as the final product. Moreover, the reaction can occur in both the gas and solution phases.

Hexamine, an organic chemical compound, consists of six carbon, twelve hydrogen, and four nitrogen atoms. The molecular formula of the compound is C6H12N4, and It has a molecular weight of 140.186 g/mol and a density of 1.33 g/cm³. This heterocyclic chemical, which can emit an odor similar to fish or ammonia, has a melting point of around 280 °C. When heated above this temperature, Hexamine gradually sublimes. It appears in the form of a white crystalline structure with a flash point of around 130°C. It is also known by names such as hexamethylenetetramine or urotropine. It is highly soluble in water and several polar organic solvents.
