Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Butylated Hydroxytoluene manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Butylated Hydroxytoluene manufacturing.

• By Alkylation: The feedstock for this process includes cresol, isobutene, and sulfuric acid.

The manufacturing of butylated hydroxytoluene is done via the alkylation of cresol. In this process, cresol reacts with isobutene in the presence of sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The acid catalyst helps in the alkylation reaction that results in the production of butylated hydroxytoluene. The reaction takes place in a controlled condition. The product is separated and purified to get pure butylated hydroxytoluene as the final product.
 

Properties of Butylated Hydroxytoluene

Butylated Hydroxytoluene has a molecular formula of C15H24O and a molecular weight of 220.35 g/mol. It appears as a white to light yellow crystalline solid with a density of 1.048 g/cm³. It has a melting point in the range of 69–73 degree Celsius and a boiling point of around 265 degree Celsius. It is insoluble in water, but it dissolves readily in organic solvents like methanol, ethanol, acetone, and chloroform. It has low volatility, with a vapor pressure of less than 0.01 mm Hg at 20 degree Celsius and a flash point of 127 degree Celsius. It is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and certain metals but remains effective when stored properly. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in applications like food preservation, cosmetics, plastics, rubber, and pharmaceuticals.
