Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether Production By Catalytic Etherification Reaction
Production Cost Report | Chemicals
Details: Germany - based plant Q1 2024 | From $ USD
This report proffers the thorough economics of dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether production by catalytic etherification reaction. The production process is initiated by the chemical reaction between propylene oxide and methanol in the presence of a catalyst. In this reaction, both acid and bases can be used to catalyze the reaction, resulting in the etherification of propylene oxide at the end. Catalysts such as sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, or Na2O–ZrO2 can be utilized to catalyze the reaction and produce propylene glycol monomethyl ether as the end product.

Feedstocks for Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether
Dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether is prepared using propylene oxide and methanol or methyl alcohol as its primary feedstock. The procurement of propylene oxide and methanol is governed by different factors. Factors including the production rate, production cost, and availability of the raw materials from the upstream industries altogether impact the supply chain and demand in the downstream industries. Moreover, factors such as complexity in the supply chain can impact the demand as well as the market prices of the feedstocks in the chemical market. Other factors, such as logistics and transportation, also play a vital role in influencing the demand and directly impact the market prices of its feedstocks at a large scale. All of these factors altogether can help in determing the overall procurement of propylene oxide and methanol in the global market.
