Feedstock for Hexamethylenediamine

The feedstock required for the production of Hexamethylenediamine are Butadiene and Hydrogen Cyanide. Butadiene is obtained as a byproduct from the steam cracking of naphtha and natural gas. Thus, the prices of crude oil and natural gas serve as one of the major factors that directly affect the cost of butadiene production. Moreover, the demand from downstream industries, including automotive and consumer goods for manufacturing footwear, etc., also impacts how butadiene is sourced. Economic growth in these sectors largely promotes the demand for butadiene, which further influences its global supply and pricing. The development of alternative materials that can function in a similar way as butadiene also affects its demand and procurement strategies.

The sourcing of hydrogen cyanide is affected by the cost and the availability of raw materials, which include methane and ammonia. Any changes in the cost of these raw materials directly impact the production cost of hydrogen cyanide. Hydrogen cyanide is highly toxic in nature, therefore, it requires specialized transportation and efficient storage solutions, which further affect the procurement of hydrogen cyanide.

Manufacturing Process

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

• Production via Hydrogenation: The feedstock required for the production of Hexamethylenediamine includes butadiene and hydrogen cyanide (HCN). The process is initiated by the hydrocyanation of butadiene, which involves the reaction of butadiene and hydrogen cyanide to obtain adiponitrile. Further, the obtained adiponitrile undergoes hydrogenation, which results in the formation of hexamethylenediamine as the final product.
