Raw Material for Methoxypropanol Production

According to the Methoxypropanol manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Methoxypropanol production include 1,2-Epoxy propane and Methanol.

Manufacturing Process of Methoxypropanol

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

• Production from 1,2-epoxy propane: This method of production involves the use of 1,2-epoxy propane and methanol as the major starting materials for producing methoxypropanol. The process starts with the chemical reaction of 1,2-epoxy propane with methanol in the presence of a catalyst, followed by distillation, which results in the formation of methoxy propanol as the final product.

Methoxypropanol is a flammable chemical that is obtained by the chemical reaction between 1,2-epoxypropane and methanol. The chemical formula of the compound is C4H10O2, and its molecular weight is 90.12 g/mol. It is an organic chemical with no color. The colorless liquid has a strong characteristic odor that resembles that of ether. It is a combustible chemical that can be dissolved in water. Methoxypropanol is also known as 1-methoxy-1-propanol. It is a volatile liquid with a clear, transparent appearance.

It rapidly evaporates in the presence of air and is hydrophilic. The compound has a low surface tension. It possesses excellent solvency and coupling abilities. Its density is 0.9190 g/ml3.
