Propyl Chloroformate Production Cost Reports

Propyl Chloroformate production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Propyl Chloroformate production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Propyl Chloroformate. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Propyl Chloroformate or n-Propyl Chloroformate is a clear colorless fluid comprising four carbon atoms, along with seven hydrogen, one chlorine, and two oxygen atoms. It is a flammable liquid with a chemical formula CH3(CH2)2OCOCl and a molecular weight of 122.55 g/mol. It is a colorless liquid with a strong, pungent odor. It is a volatile compound with a boiling and flash point measuring at 115 °C and -50 °C, respectively.

It reacts when combined with water while dissolves in different chemical solvents. The compound is miscible in solvents such as chloroform, ether, and benzene. Propyl Chloroformate is synthesized by the reaction between propanol and phosgene. The compound is highly toxic and reactive in nature and may damage the skin causing irritation on exposure.

Its density is 1.09 g/cm3, at approximately 25 C. The fluid is denser when compared to that of water. Its vapor density is 4.2 under normal conditions and is heavier than air. The compound rapidly decomposes in the presence of moist air. It decomposes while yielding hydrochloric acid at the end. It is a combustible liquid with an autoignition temperature measuring 475 °C.

It is a hazardous and toxic fluid that serves as a chemical intermediate to synthesize its derivatives (such as dipropyl 3,6-diphenyl-1,2-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine-1,2-dicarboxylate) in the chemical industry. It majorly serves as an intermediate that, in reaction with other chemicals, produces useful chemical compounds further utilized in commercial operations. The compound can react with amines and alcohols, resulting in the formation of carbamates and carbonates, respectively. Additionally, its derivatives are further used in the preparation of adhesives, sealants, and other chemical products.

The market for Propyl Chloroformate is driven by its demand as a liquid intermediate in the chemical industry. Its wide-range applications in the preparation and production of chemical derivatives, with further utilization in production of coating, adhesive and sealants increases its demand on a large scale. Its reactivity along with flammability drives its demand in the chemical, coating and pharmaceutical industries. A rise or fall in its demand can eventually result in influencing its sales and determine its procurement in the chemical market.
