Feedstock for Cyclohexanol

Cyclohexanol is produced by the catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane. Therefore, cyclohexane is used as the direct raw material. The fluctuations in the prices of cyclohexane can disrupt the supply chain of Cyclohexanol. The prices of cyclohexane are significantly impacted by the surge or decline in the availability and cost of its major raw materials, mainly benzene.

The application of cyclohexane in several downstream industries and sectors, such as paints and coatings, as well as textiles, influences its prices. Also, factors such as hurricane season, unfavorable export conditions, and strikes in the major cyclohexane supplying regions create additional logistical challenges, which disrupt the supply chain and lead to delays in shipments. Additionally, seasonal factors, mainly the monsoon season, affect construction activities, which further affect the production and supply of cyclohexane.

Further, as the construction industry majorly utilizes cyclohexane, factors such as decline or surge in private and residential construction activities, influenced by factors such as rising mortgage rates and the downturn experienced by the housebuilding sector, also determine the procurement and pricing of Cyclohexane to a great extent.
 

Market Drivers for Cyclohexanol

The market for Cyclohexanol is majorly driven by its usage in several downstream industries and sectors, such as polymer, textiles, automotive, solvents, pharmaceuticals, flavors and fragrances, rubber, agrochemicals, household products, and analytical chemistry. The chemical’s function as an intermediate in the production of nylon, mainly nylon 6,6 and nylon 6, coupled with the demand for these synthetic fibers in textiles, automotive, and other industries drive the cyclohexanol market. Its utilization as a solvent in coatings, adhesives, and paints, which are used in construction, automotive, and consumer products, also boosts its market growth. Also, its usage in the production of certain flavors and fragrances further expands its market. Other factors, such as the growing shift toward sustainable and eco-friendly chemicals and technological innovations in the manufacturing process, also promote its market value.

The industrial Cyclohexanol procurement is affected by factors such as the fluctuations in the availability and prices of its raw materials, mainly cyclohexane. The Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) for Cyclohexanol includes the initial setup cost for the manufacturing plant, as well as the expenses for the machinery and equipment such as reactor vessels, distillation columns, heat exchangers, pumps, cooling system, and filtration units. Also, the Operational Expenditure (OPEX) for Cyclohexanol has expenses such as the maintenance and repair costs for the machinery and equipment, the procurement cost of the raw material (benzene), electricity and fuel costs for heating, cooling, and operating machinery such as reactors and distillation columns, labor costs, and packaging and shipping costs.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• Production via Catalytic Oxidation: The feedstock used in the industrial manufacturing process includes cyclohexane.

The manufacturing process of Cyclohexanol occurs via the catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane. In this process, cyclohexane is oxidized in the presence of oxygen (air) and a combination of cobalt and manganese salts as the catalyst. The product formed is a mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone. Thus, the mixture undergoes fractional distillation which separates the components based on their boiling points to produce Cyclohexanol as the final product.
