This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of ethyl palmitate production by esterification reaction. The production process of ethyl palmitate or ethyl hexadecanoate begins with the chemical reaction between ethyl alcohol or ethanol with palmitic acid. The two compounds, i.e., ethanol and palmitic acid, react and result in the formation of ethyl palmitate ester at the end, along with water as the byproduct.

  • Trivent Chemicals
  • Shanghai Smart Chemicals Co. Ltd.
  • Acme Hardesty

Feedstocks for Ethyl Palmitate

Ethyl palmitate is prepared by using ethanol or ethyl alcohol along with palmitic acid as its primary feedstock. Fluctuations observed in the market dynamics of its feedstocks can also hamper the overall procurement of ethyl palmitate on a large scale. Different factors, such as the supply from the upstream market (including sugar and palm oil for ethanol and palmitic acid production), along with production costs and demand from downstream industries, play a major role in determining the market prices of the feedstocks in the chemical market. Variations in supply chain and logistics issues can impact the acquisition of the feedstocks as well as ethyl palmitate in the global market.
