Phenothrin is also known as d-Phenothrin or Sumithrin. It is a synthetic pyrethroid widely used in various industries due to its insecticidal properties. It is widely used in mosquito control programs to kill adult mosquitoes and other insects. It is applied in residential yards, public recreational areas, and agricultural areas to manage insect populations. It is utilized as an ingredient in insecticidal formulations for controlling biting insects like midges and blackflies, which are vectors for diseases such as malaria, dengue, and yellow fever. It also finds its application in the production of formulations for the treatment of human lice (head lice and crab lice). It is often used in products made for direct application on animals, such as flea sprays for dogs that help in controlling ectoparasites effectively.

Feedstock for Phenothrin

The feedstock involved in the production of Phenothrin is Chrysanthemic Acid. The sourcing of Chrysanthemic acid is mainly influenced by the agricultural output. Chrysanthemic acid is obtained from natural pyrethrins extracted from chrysanthemum flowers. Variations in the agricultural yields, due to factors like weather conditions and pest infestations significantly affects the availability of these flowers, which further impact the sourcing of chrysanthemic acid. Tariffs and trade agreements can affect the cost and availability of imported chrysanthemic acid or its precursors. Therefore, changes in trade policies can also greatly affect sourcing strategies for chrysanthemic acid. Advances in biotechnological methods for producing chrysanthemic acid, such as microbial fermentation, can also influence its sourcing strategies.
 

Market Drivers for Phenothrin

The market for Phenothrin is primarily led by its demand as pest control in public health, agriculture, medical, personal care, and other industrial sectors. Its utilization as an insecticide to control insects and pests like mosquitoes, blackflies, etc., largely contributes to its demand in the public health and environmental management industries. Its usage as a crucial component in aerosol insecticides for domestic use also boosts its demand in the chemical and home care industries. Its involvement as a component in powders, shampoos, and lotions for the treatment of human lice also fuels its demand in the medical and personal care industries. Its usage as an ingredient in the production of flea sprays for dogs further fuels its demand in the animal care and veterinary industries.

Phenothrin is subject to strict regulatory standards regarding its environmental impact, toxicity, and efficacy. Compliance with these regulations, which vary by country and region, significantly impacts its use and procurement strategies. Increasing concern over the environmental and health impact of synthetic pesticides can also influence its market demand. The synthesis of Phenothrin involves specific chemical precursors, which must be readily available for its consistent production.

Disruptions in the supply of these precursors due to geopolitical tensions, natural disasters, or production issues directly impact its production and industrial Phenothrin procurement. The demand for phenothrin is driven by agricultural needs, public health initiatives, and residential pest control requirements. Increasing global food demand also promotes pest control requirements, which further affect the demand and procurement decisions for Phenothrin.

The capital expenditure (CAPEX) for establishing a phenothrin production facility involves investment in high-quality, durable chemical processing equipment capable of withstanding the corrosive nature of the chemicals involved. The equipment involved are advanced chemical reactors, distillation units, and purification systems. The construction of the plant and specialized storage facilities to ensure the stability and safety of both raw materials and final products are also covered under CAPEX. The operating expenses (OPEX) for Phenothrin production are ongoing costs associated with the day-to-day operations of the manufacturing facility. It covers the cost of raw materials, cost of energy, and maintenance of high-tech machinery and equipment. Labor costs are also a significant component of the OPEX, as skilled personnel are required to manage and maintain the production process. Other expenses, including packaging, transportation, and marketing costs, are also covered under the OPEX.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• Production via Chemical Synthesis: The feedstock required for this process includes Chrysanthemic Acid.

This method of producing Phenothrin involves a two-step chemical synthesis process. The production of phenothrin starts with the conversion of chrysanthemic acid into its acyl chloride with 99% yield by using thionyl chloride and dimethylformamide. Further, this acyl chloride undergoes condensation with 3-phenoxyphenyl methanol in the presence of pyridine, which results in the formation of phenothrin as the final product with a high yield of 96%.
 

Properties of Phenothrin

Phenothrin is a pale yellow to yellow-brown liquid with a specific gravity of 1.058-1.061 at 25 degree Celsius. The boiling point of the compound is greater than 290 degree Celsius and has a very low vapor pressure of 1.43 x 10^-7 mm Hg at 21 degree Celsius. Phenothrin is poorly soluble in water, with a solubility of about 2 mg/L at 25 degree Celsius but it is soluble in organic solvents like acetone, xylene, and hexane. It is fairly stable in air but unstable in light and alkaline media. The molecular formula of phenothrin is C23H26O3, and its molecular weight is 350.46 g/mol. Phenothrin is incompatible with strong bases like sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.
