Zinc Pyrithione Production Cost Reports

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

Zinc Pyrithione is a coordination complex that is used in various pharmaceutical and cosmetics applications. It is found majorly in anti-dandruff haircare products, including shampoos, conditioners, gels, and more.  It works by inhibiting the growth of yeast that serves towards the formation of dandruff on the hair scalp. It belongs to the class of pyrithione, a biocide with excellent antibacterial and antifungal properties. It can cleanse the scalp while removing dandruff and unwanted particles from the hair.

Its application ensures a healthy and clean scalp, and hence, it is largely used in the formulations of different haircare products. It also possesses mild anti-inflammatory properties that reduce the redness and itching caused on the scalp and ensure to cleanse it without causing any side effects. Zinc Pyrithione also helps in treating scalp conditions such as psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. It can also be used as a biocide in formulations of paints, coating chemicals, adhesives, etc.

Industrial Zinc Pyrithione procurement is influenced by its demand across different market sectors, including the chemical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. Its applications as an anti-dandruff component in haircare products, especially shampoos, gels, and conditioners, boost its demand in the cosmetics industry. Its application as a biocide in the preparation of coating chemicals, including paints and adhesives, strengthens its demand. Its abilities as a biocide, providing antifungal and antimicrobial properties, fuel its usage in medicinal haircare products, hence improving its market growth. Also, the rising use of antimicrobial coatings across various industries, including food and beverages and textiles, contributes to its demand.

Raw Material for Zinc Pyrithione Production

According to the Zinc Pyrithione manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Zinc Pyrithione include (2-Mercaptopyridine-N-Oxide)-Sodium Hydroxide-Zinc Sulfate.

Manufacturing Process of Zinc Pyrithione

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

• From 2-Mercaptopyridine-N-Oxide, Sodium Hydroxide, and Zinc Sulfate: The manufacturing process of Zinc Pyrithione consists of a precipitation reaction. In this reaction, 2-mercaptopyridine-N-oxide reacts with sodium hydroxide, forming sodium pyrithione as an intermediate. This intermediate is then reacted with zinc sulfate, resulting in the formation of precipitates of zinc pyrithione. Finally, the product is filtered and purified to obtain Zinc Pyrithione as the final product.

Zinc Pyrithione is a complex compound with a chemical formula of C10H8N2O2S2Zn, and its molecular weight is 317.7 g/mol. It is a white-colored fine powdered compound with a mild, characteristic odor and a density of 1.782 g/cm3 at 25°C. It remains stable under standard conditions and a temperature of 25 °C. Its melting point is measured at approximately 240 °C, and it decomposes when heated to emit highly toxic chemical fumes of nitrogen oxide, along with sulfur oxide and zinc oxide, into the air. It is highly insoluble in water, while it can be dissolved in chemical solvents such as dimethyl formamide and DMSO etc. It is a light-sensitive chemical compound that degrades under UV rays. Its pH value ranges between 4 to 10 on the scale.
