Feedstock for Bis (Chloromethyl) Biphenyl

The feedstock involved in the production of Bis (Chloromethyl) Biphenyl is Paraformaldehyde, Biphenyl, and Alkyl (methyl, ethyl, propyl, or isopropyl) Chloromethyl Ether. The sourcing of paraformaldehyde is directly affected by the cost and availability of raw materials, including formaldehyde. Moreover, the price of raw material (formaldehyde) for paraformaldehyde is significantly affected by the changes in the petrochemical industry. Additionally, the global supply chain plays a significant role in the sourcing of paraformaldehyde. Regulations regarding the handling, transportation, and use of paraformaldehyde that vary in different countries also have a significant impact on the sourcing of paraformaldehyde.

Biphenyl is primarily obtained from crude oil, coal tar, and natural gas. Thus, fluctuations in the prices and availability of these raw materials based on market conditions, geopolitical factors, and extraction capabilities directly affect the sourcing of biphenyl. Variations in the demand for biphenyl from downstream industries, including textiles, agriculture, and chemical manufacturing, directly influence its pricing and sourcing strategies. The development of substitutes for biphenyl that are more sustainable or less harmful further influences its sourcing strategies.

Alkyl chloromethyl ethers are highly regulated due to their potential carcinogenicity. Compliance with strict health and safety regulations in handling, transportation, and storage under international standards like REACH or TSCA greatly affects sourcing by limiting supply channels and increasing costs. Alkyl Chloromethyl Ethers are synthesized from chemicals, such as chloromethyl methyl ether (CMME) and other alkyl halides. Thus, the cost and availability of these feedstocks directly affect the production and sourcing of alkyl chloromethyl ethers. Additionally, variations in its demand from downstream industries like pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and polymer production also directly influence sourcing strategies.
