Dimethyl Phthalate (DMP) Production Cost Reports

Dimethyl Phthalate (DMP) production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Dimethyl Phthalate (DMP) production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Dimethyl Phthalate (DMP). This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Dimethyl Phthalate, or DMP, is a chemical plasticizer with a chemical formula C6H4(COOCH3)2. Its structure contains ten carbon, ten hydrogen, and four oxygen atoms. The molecular weight of DMP is given by 194.18 g/mol. It is a water-white liquid that has a slightly sweet odor. It is a water-insoluble chemical with a melting and boiling point measured approximately 0-2 °C and 284 °C, respectively. Its flash point is measured around 146 °C. It is insoluble in water; however, it can be dissolved in various other chemical solvents.

It can be miscible in chloroform, benzene, ether, and ethanol and slightly soluble in carbon tetrachloride. However, it is highly insoluble in petroleum ether and other paraffin hydrocarbons. Its density is given by 1.196 g/ml3 at the standard temperature of 20 °C. Its vapor density is 6.69. Its vapor pressure is greater than 0.01 mm Hg at 20 °C. It remains stable under normal conditions. Its autoignition temperature is 490 °C. It hazardously decomposes under fire conditions and produces toxic oxides of carbon, such as carbon monoxide. It is a flammable liquid ester with a toxic nature.

It has many utilizations in the plastic as well as petrochemical industries. The compound is used as a chemical component in producing solid rocket propellants. It is also included in the formulation of insect repellants. It is a well-known chemical plasticizer that can be used in manufacturing certain varieties of plastic materials. It is also used as a solvent in organic chemistry. Moreover, it exhibits excellent water resistance and film-forming abilities. It is, hence, used in preparing cellulose acetate films, varnishes, and more.
