Cetyl Alcohol Production Cost Breakup By Catalytic Reduction Reaction of Ethyl Palmitate with Sodium Metal

Details: Germany - based plant Q1 2024  | From $ USD

This report proffers the thorough economics of cetyl alcohol production with catalytic reduction of ethyl palmitate with sodium metal. The production process begins with the chemical reaction between the two compounds, i.e., ethyl palmitate and sodium metal, in the presence of an acidic medium. The process is carried out in the presence of lithium aluminium hydride, which catalyzes the reaction and results in the formation of cetyl alcohol as the final product.

Top Producers of Cetyl Alcohol

  • BASF
  • Aromantic
  • Kerax Limited
  • Surfachem Group Ltd
  • P&G Chemicals

Feedstocks for Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol is a chemical surfactant obtained using ethyl palmitate and sodium metal as its chief raw materials. Any fluctuation in the market dynamics of its feedstocks, including sodium metal, ethyl palmitate, and lithium aluminium hydride (used as a catalyst), will directly impact the procurement of cetyl alcohol in the chemical market. Moreover, its applications in its downstream industries, especially cosmetics and chemical industries, result in amplifying its demand in the market. Demand shits in cetyl alcohol market can potentially influence the overall procurement of cetyl alcohol on a large scale.

Our report consists of an extensive and comprehensive analysis of the cetyl alcohol industry tailored as per your requirement.
