Oxyfluorfen Production Cost Reports

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

Oxyfluorfen is classified as a diphenyl ether herbicide that has several agricultural applications. It is used in the production of herbicides that are used in controlling broadleaf and grassy weeds in different varieties of plants, trees, and vines. It works as a weed-controlling agent in the formulation of herbicides that can be used over driveways, crop fields, landscapes, and patios. It functions by stopping the production of chlorophyll in targeted plant varieties. It does not get absorbed by the roots and, hence, is a safer option to be used for controlling weed formation. It can be utilized on fields cultivating wine grapes and almonds.

Industrial Oxyfluorfen procurement is influenced by its demand as a component in the preparation of agrochemical products. It is utilized as a weed controller, and its application to produce herbicides majorly drives its demand in the agrochemical and chemical industries. It works as a main ingredient in the production of herbicides and pesticides. Its increasing application in the preparation of agricultural chemicals boosts its demand. The use of advanced technology in formulation and biotechnology improves its efficacy and safety, making it more appealing to farmers. Also, favorable government initiatives and investments in the agricultural sector support the adoption of effective herbicides, which further contributes to its market growth.

Raw Material for Oxyfluorfen Production

According to the Oxyfluorfen manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Oxyfluorfen include Resorcinol-(3,4-Dichlorobenzotrifluoride)-Ethanol-Potassium Hydroxide.

Manufacturing Process of Oxyfluorfen

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

• From Resorcinol, 3,4-Dichlorobenzotrifluoride, Ethanol, and Potassium Hydroxide: The manufacturing process of Oxyfluorfen involves a reaction between resorcinol and 3,4-dichlorobenzotrifluoride. First, resorcinol reacts with 3,4-dichlorobenzotrifluoride. After this mixture is then treated with ethanol in the presence of potassium hydroxide as a catalyst, this reaction leads to the formation of Oxyfluorfen as the final product.

Oxyfluorfen is an aromatic compound with molecular formula C15H11ClF3NO4, and its molecular weight is 361.70 g/mol. It is an orange-colored crystalline solid and it is non-corrosive in nature. Its melting and boiling point is measured around 86.6 °C and 358.2 °C, respectively. Its density is 1.49 g/cm3 under a standard temperature of 25 °C. It is poorly soluble in water but dissolves in most of the common solvents. It is soluble in acetone, cyclohexanone, dimethylformamide, isophorone, etc. It remains stable under normal conditions but decomposes on heating. It goes through decomposition at higher temperatures to release toxic, acidic fumes of hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, and hydrogen fluoride in the air.
