Feedstock for Titanium Butoxide

The production of titanium butoxide involves butanol and titanium tetrachloride as the first line of raw materials. The changes in prices and availability of these major feedstock affect the manufacturing of titanium butoxide.

The sourcing of butanol is affected by several key factors. Its demand for butanol in various applications, like solvents, fuels, and chemical intermediates, affects its prices and availability. The availability of fermentation substrates, such as starch and lignocellulosic materials, is important as butanol is produced through microbial fermentation processes.  The changes in the costs of raw materials and fermentation processes impact the costs of butanol production, which further affects its procurement. Advancements in metabolic engineering and fermentation technologies improve butanol yields and reduce production times that affect its sourcing. Compliance with environmental regulations regarding emissions and waste management affects the choice of production methods and raw materials. Also, the need for high-purity butanol for specific industrial applications further affects its overall industrial procurement.

The procurement of titanium tetrachloride is affected by factors that impact its availability and prices. The high production costs of deriving titanium tetrachloride from rutile require substantial energy, and raw materials like Coke affect its procurement. Its demand in downstream industries like paints, plastics, and paper affects its prices and availability. Strict compliance requirements increase production costs as manufacturers are adopting cleaner production methods. Other factors like supplier reliability for consistent quality and timely deliveries with logistics and transportation management further affect its industrial procurement.
