Isopropanol Amine Production By Chemical Reaction Between Propylene Oxide and Ammonia

This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of isopropanol amine production by chemical reaction between propylene oxide and ammonia. The production process of isopropanol amine is initiated by reacting the two compounds, i.e., aqueous ammonia and propylene oxide. The reaction results in the production of 1-amino-2-hydroxypropane or isopropanol amine as the final product.

Feedstocks for Isopropanol Amine

Isopropanol amine is an alcoholic compound that is prepared by using ammonia and propylene oxide as its primary feedstock. The procurement of isopropanol amine, along with its feedstock, is impacted by different aspects that are associated with its market dynamics. Some of the major factors include production cost, market prices, stability in the supply chain, logistics, trade, and transportation activities, etc. Other crucial factors, such as the demand observed from the downstream chemical, agrochemical, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries and activities in the upstream industries, also influence its procurement on a large scale. Additionally, factors such as the availability of its raw materials, including propene, sodium hydroxide, oxygen, nitrogen, etc., trade, and governmental policies altogether help in determining its procurement in the global chemical market.
