Propylparaben Production Cost Reports

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

Propylparaben is a benzoate ester that belongs to the class of parabens and is majorly used to preserve different chemical, edible, and pharmaceutical formulations. It is used as a preservative that is used in the production of medications in the pharmaceutical industry. Its ability to preserve the chemical formulation while improving its shelf-life increases its involvement in the production of different drug varieties in the pharmaceutical sector.

Propylparaben is also used in the processing and production of food products, like pickles, syrups, jellies, baked food products, etc. It is used as an additive to preserve the beverage content varieties, such as beer and wines, along with certain dairy products such as cheese etc. It is utilized as a component in the production of cosmetics and personal care products that include makeup and cosmetics products along with moisturizers, hair care products, and hand sanitizers.

Industrial Propylparaben procurement is influenced by its demand as a chemical additive or preservative in the food, beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Its use as a preservative to improve the durability of food products increases its demand in the food and beverage industries. Its usage in the preparation of drugs and medication varieties, such as syrups, drives its demand in the pharmaceutical industry. Its usage as a preservative in the formulation of skincare, hair care, and personal care products boosts its market growth. Also, growing consumer awareness towards product safety and hygiene further improves its demand. Regulatory approvals from various health authorities also support its use, encouraging manufacturers to incorporate propylparaben into their formulations. Altogether, these wide-range applications fuel its demand and govern its procurement in the global market.

Raw Material for Propylparaben Production

According to the Propylparaben manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Propylparaben include Hydroxybenzoic Acid-Propanol.

Manufacturing Process of Propylparaben

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

• From Hydroxybenzoic Acid and Propanol: The manufacturing process of Propylparaben involves an esterification reaction. In this process, hydroxybenzoic acid reacts with propanol in the presence of an acidic catalyst, such as sulfuric acid. This process gives Propylparaben as the final product.

Propylparaben has a molecular formula of C10H12O3 and a molecular weight of 180.20 g/mol. It is a colorless or white crystalline powder that is almost odorless and tasteless. Its melting point is in the range of 95 to 98 °C with a boiling point at around 295 °C and a flash point at 140°C. It is soluble in water and highly soluble in alcohols and ether. Similarly, it is moderately soluble in other chemical solvents such as chloroform. Its density is 1.28 g/cm3 under normal conditions and is denser when compared to the density of water. The compound remains stable at a temperature of 25 °C but decomposes when heated at a high temperature and releases smoke in the air.
