Allyl Chloride is an organochlorine compound that finds its uses in organic synthesis and as a reagent in the production of synthetic resins, coatings, and pesticides. It is an important intermediate in the production of epichlorohydrin, glycerol, and allyl alcohol, out of which epichlorohydrin is a key compound used in the production of epoxy resins and water treatment chemicals. It also serves as a raw material for the production of compounds used in perfume, medicine, and coatings. It serves as an intermediate in producing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other chemicals used in the pharmaceutical industry.
The market for Allyl Chloride is driven by its application as an important intermediate in the production of epichlorohydrin, glycerol, and allyl alcohol. Its utilization in the production of plastics and polymers amplifies its market, particularly in industries such as automotive, packaging, and construction. Its usage in the production of water treatment chemicals such as polyamines fuels its market even more. Its function as an intermediate in drug synthesis and in production of various pharmaceuticals contributes to its demand in the pharmaceutical and medical industries. Overall, industrial Allyl Chloride procurement is influenced by its application in various industries such as automotive, packaging, construction, water treatment, plastics, polymers, and pharmaceutical industries, the availability of its raw material (propylene), the cost of its raw material, and technological advancements.
Raw Material for Allyl Chloride Production
According to the Allyl Chloride production plant project report, the key raw material used in the production of Allyl Chloride includes propylene.
Production Process of Allyl Chloride
The extensive Allyl Chloride production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:
- Production from propylene: The production process of Allyl Chloride involves the chlorination of the starting compound propylene. In this process, propylene is chlorinated with chlorine gas, and the reaction occurs via a free radical mechanism at high temperatures to produce Allyl Chloride.
Allyl Chloride, with the molecular formula C3H5Cl and a molecular weight of 76.52 g/mol, is a liquid chemical and an organochlorine compound. The chemical appears to be clear and colorless and has an unpleasant, pungent, garlic-like odor. It is less dense than water (7.8 lb/gal) and is insoluble in water. Its vapors are heavier than air. Due to it being toxic, its vapors irritate the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. It has a density of 0.939g/cm3 at 25°C. Its melting, boiling, and flash points are -136 °C, 44-46°C(lit.), and -20°F, respectively. In solid form, it appears to be white powder. It is a stable compound that reacts violently or vigorously with several materials. It is extremely flammable and incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, peroxides, acids, and certain metals.
