Hydroxyethyl Cellulose Production Cost Breakup By Catalytic Chemical Reaction Method

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

This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of hydroxyethyl cellulose production by the catalytic chemical reaction method. The preparation process is initiated by reacting cellulose with ethylene oxide in the presence of a basic catalyst. In this reaction, sodium hydroxide is used to catalyze the reaction and leads to the production of hydroxyethyl cellulose as its final product.

Top Producers of Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC)

  • Dow Chemical
  • Shin-Etsu Chemical
  • Ashland
  • Chemcolloids
  • Zhejiang Haishen

Feedstocks for Hydroxyethyl Cellulose

Hydroxyethyl cellulose is a chemical compound prepared by using cellulose, and ethylene oxide as its primary feedstocks. The procurement of hydroxyethyl cellulose is influenced by different aspects related to its market dynamics. Factors such as the availability of the raw materials (including ethylene, etc.), as well as the production cost, market prices, etc, can impact its procurement on a large scale. Additionally, other factors, including the supply chain stability and demand from the downstream pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics, chemical, and paper industries, help in determining its overall procurement in the global market.
