Feedstock for Octadecylamine

Octadecylamine is produced via a hydrogenation reaction of stearic acid and ammonia. Stearic acid and ammonia are utilized as the major feedstock for the production process. Thus, the cost and availability of these raw materials directly affect the supply chain of octadecylamine.

The demand for stearic acid from the downstream cosmetic, soap, and rubber industry sectors influences its prices. Prices of the major feedstock for stearic acid production, mainly palm oil and coconut oil, as well as factors such as weather conditions, geopolitical events, and market supply and demand imbalances in major exporting countries, impact the prices and supply of Stearic Acid. Additionally, increased freight charges and port congestion further impact market prices.

Ammonia is another major raw material required for the production process of octadecylamine. The major raw materials required to produce ammonia consist of nitrogen and hydrogen. Thus, the fluctuations in the cost and availability of these raw materials influence the overall supply chain of ammonia. The application and demand for ammonia in various downstream industries and sectors, such as agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, textiles, petrochemicals, food production, wastewater treatment, etc., further determine its prices. Further, issues such as supply constraints and geopolitical tensions in the major ammonia-producing regions influence the cost of Ammonia.
 

Market Drivers for Octadecylamine

The market demand for octadecylamine is majorly driven by its usage in various downstream industries and sectors such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, coatings, plastics, polymers, etc. The global rise in the need for high-performance additives in industries like textiles, coatings, and personal care elevates the market demand for octadecylamine. Also, technological advancements such as innovations in chemical synthesis and formulation expand the applications of octadecylamine, improving production efficiency and product quality, which boosts its market growth.

The industrial octadecylamine procurement is affected by the cost and availability of the feedstock required for the production process, mainly stearic acid and ammonia. Also, various equipment, apparatus, and machinery, such as liquid phase reaction towers, autoclaves, washing and refinement units, and precipitation equipment, are required for the production process. Thus, the initial cost of purchasing and installing the equipment, as well as the construction of a manufacturing plant, contributes to the overall capital expenditures (CAPEX) for octadecylamine. Additionally, operational expenditures (OPEX) for producing octadecylamine consist of the day-to-day costs required for the production process, such as procurement of raw materials (stearic acid and ammonia), daily labor costs, energy costs, the costs of maintenance and repair of the machinery and equipment, safety measures, overhead costs, packaging costs, and logistics.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• Production via hydrogenation reaction: The feedstock required in the industrial manufacturing process of octadecylamine includes stearic acid and ammonia.

The production process of octadecylamine occurs via the hydrogenation reaction. The process is initiated with the chemical reaction of stearic acid with ammonia through a liquid phase reaction at a high temperature of 350 °C. The reaction proceeds with the ammonization of stearic acid to give octadecane nitrile as an intermediate. Finally, the intermediate is hydrogenated on heating in the presence of a metal catalyst such as nickel to produce octadecylamine as the final product.
 

Properties of Octadecylamine

Octadecylamine is an aliphatic amine having the molecular formula of C18H39N and a molecular weight of 269.51 g/mol. It is a white solid and has a characteristic odor. It has a melting point in the range of 50 to 52 °C and a boiling point of around 232 °C (under reduced pressure). It has a density value of 0.86 g/cm3 at a standard temperature of 25 °C.
