Methylparaben Production By Esterification Reaction
Production Cost Report | Healthcare
Details: Germany - based plant Q2 2024 | From $ USD
This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of methyl paraben production by esterification reaction. The preparation of methylparaben is carried out by the esterification of p-hydroxybenzoic acid with a methyl group. The process begins with the chemical reaction between p-hydroxybenzoic acid with methanol in the presence of an acidic catalyst, such as sulfuric acid that results in the production of methylparaben as the end product.

Feedstocks for Methylparaben
Methylparaben is a chemical preservative that is prepared by using methanol and p-hydroxybenzoic acid as its major feedstocks. The procurement of methylparaben and its feedstocks is dependent on several factors. Some of the prime factors include the availability of its raw materials (including natural gas, phenol, carbon monoxide, and sodium hydroxide for methanol and p-hydroxybenzoic acid), along with the production cost and market prices largely influence its procurement in the chemical market.
Moreover, other factors such as trading activities, logistics, transportation, economic conditions, and demand from its downstream industries (including pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries) have a prominent role in determining its procurement.
