Propane-1,2-diol Production Cost Report

Propane-1,2-diol, commonly known as propylene glycol, is widely employed in industries for its applications as an organic solvent, humectant, etc. It is frequently used as a solvent in paints, coatings, and inks, as a plasticizer in plastics and resins, and as a humectant in cosmetics and personal care products. It is also employed as a preservative, humectant, emulsifying agent, and organic solvent in various food products, beverages, and pharmaceutical drugs. Other than that, it can be used as a feedstock to make biofuels such as biodiesel and renewable diesel. Moreover, it is mostly utilized in skincare products as a humectant to improve the ability of the products to retain moisture.

Due to its critical role in the production of skincare products and cosmetics, Propane-1,2-diol is a highly sought-after commodity. In the paint and plastic industry, its demand is higher due to its principal use as a solvent in paints and plasticizer in plastics and resins, respectively. Its major use as a humectant in cosmetic and skincare products for the cosmetics and skincare industry further increases its demand. Moreover, industrial output, economic growth, population expansion, ageing demographics, and customer preferences for safe and effective products all drive demand for propane-1,2-diol. Furthermore, Propane-1,2-diol is of great industrial importance, because of its usage as an industrial solvent.

It also serves as raw material in the manufacturing of various pharmaceuticals, polymers, plasticizers, etc. Additionally, the availability and cost of production of Propane-1-2-diol's feedstock (propylene oxide), Propane-1-2-diol market prices, environmental regulations & safety concerns, storage, handling, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, etc., are some of the elements that influence an industrial Propane-1-2-diol procurement.

Raw Material for Propane-1,2-diol Production

According to the Propane-1,2-diol manufacturing plant project report, the major raw material for Propane-1,2-diol production includes Propylene Oxide.

Manufacturing Process of Propane-1,2-diol

The extensive Propane-1,2-diol production cost report consists of this major industrial manufacturing process:

  • Production from Hydration: This process involves the hydrolysis of propylene oxide in the presence of a catalyst, such as sulfuric acid. The final product, propane-1,2-diol, is obtained by further purifying the solution.

Propane-1,2-diol, often known as propylene glycol is a diol or double alcohol, which means it has two alcohol (-OH) groups attached to adjacent carbon atoms. It is extensively employed as a solvent and humectant, which means it helps to retain moisture. It is also utilised as a chemical intermediary in the synthesis of other compounds such as unsaturated polyester resins, plasticizers, and surface-active agents. Furthermore, it is also employed in a variety of applications, including food and beverage processing, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and animal feed.

It is considered safe for use in certain applications and has been designated as generally recognised as safe (GRAS) by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The chemical formula of propane-1,2-diol is C3H8O2, and its molecular weight is 76.10 g/mol. It is clear, colourless liquid. The boiling point of propane-1,2-diol is 188.2°C (370.8°F) and its melting point is -59°C (-74.2°F). The density of propane-1,2-diol is 1.036 g/cm³ at 25°C (77°F). It is highly soluble in water and organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, and benzene.
