Methylisothiazolinone Production Cost Reports

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

Methylisothiazolinone also known as MIT is used in various products to prevent microbial growth. It is a versatile biocide and preservative with applications across various industries. It is effective in controlling microbial growth in water-containing solutions like lotions, shampoos, and conditioners. It is utilized as an antimicrobial agent in paper products, latex adhesives, and paper coatings that contact food.

MIT is also used to control slime-forming bacteria, fungi, and algae in oil field operations, cooling water systems, paper mills, industrial paints, and wood varnishes. However, It is found to have allergenic and cytotoxic properties leading to regulatory restrictions on its use in cosmetics and personal care products. Proper formulation and labeling are important to alleviate the potential health risks associated with Methylisothiazolinone while keeping its effectiveness as a preservative.

The procurement of Methylisothiazolinone is affected by several factors. Its varied use in different industries like cosmetics, personal care, paper, oil field etc. contributes to its demand. Regulatory restrictions imposed on it for a limited use in certain products, influences its market. Its proper formulation and labeling to reduce potential health risks while maintaining its status as a preservative tends to affect its market.

Growing consumer consciousness for towards safer alternatives has driven a demand to explore innovative preservative options. The changes in its demand as a biocide and preservative, and considerations for safety and sustainability, along with its production prices, market prices, and logistics, directly influence industrial Methylisothiazolinone procurement in the market across the world.

Raw Material for Methylisothiazolinone Production

According to the Methylisothiazolinone manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Methylisothiazolinone include Methyl acrylate-Methylamine-Sulfur-Hydrogen Sulfide- Chlorine gas.

Manufacturing Process of Methylisothiazolinone

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

• From Methyl Acrylate, Methylamine, Sulfur, Hydrogen Sulfide, and Chlorine gas: The industrial manufacturing of Methylisothiazolinone involves a one pot method. First, methyl acrylate and sulfur are reacted in an aqueous methylamine solution process. The above reaction mixture is introduced to Hydrogen sulfide gas generating a crude product dimethyl 3,3'-dithiobispropionate. After this, methylamine gas is added to synthesize N,N'-dimethyl-3,3'-dithiodipropionamide. Finally, chlorination of the product is done that produces a derivative of Methylisothiazolinone.

Methylisothiazolinone is dark brown in color and is soluble in water. It has a molecular weight of 115.2 Da and a density of 1.02 g/ml at 25°C. Its melting point is 48.0 – 49.5 °C and it has a pH of 2.58 at 25°C It shows peak wavelengths at 274 nm for a neutral solution, 266 nm for an acidic solution, and 274 nm for a basic solution in UV-Vis spectrum. Its technical grade shows that it contains 96.8% of MIT. It is allergenic and cytotoxic that requires to be use with caution. It is a contact allergen and has been linked to skin irritation and sensitization. Its physical and chemical properties make it relevant to its use under proper safety considerations.
