Epichlorohydrin Production Cost Reports

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

The report also provides detailed insights into project economics including capital investments, project funding, operating expenses, income and expenditure projections, fixed costs vs variable costs, direct and indirect costs, expected ROI and NPV, profit and loss account, financial analysis, etc.

Epichlorohydrin (ECH) with the molecular formula C3H5ClO is an epoxide which is  1,2-epoxypropene, where one of the methyl hydrogens is substituted by chlorine. It is an organochlorine compound and an epoxide that has functional relation to 1,2-epoxypropane. It is a versatile chemical intermediate used in a range of industries, from textiles to aircraft parts and ion exchange resins.

The chemical is a very volatile and flammable chlorinated cyclic ether that has an irritating, chloroform-like odour which produces toxic hydrochloric acid fumes. It appears to be clear, colourless, and liquid, which can cause irritation in the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.

It's a highly reactive organic compound that will polymerize upon treatment with acid or a strong base. It is insoluble in water but miscible with most polar organic solvents. It is a human carcinogen and might lead to respiratory cancer. It is somewhat water-soluble. It has a Molecular weight of   92.53 g/mol and a density of 1.1812 g/cm3. It has respective flash, boiling, freezing and boiling points of 88°F (31°C), 242F (117°0), -54°F (-47.8°C), and 117.9 °C.

Epichlorohydrin is primarily used for manufacturing epoxy resins, synthetic glycerin and elastomers. The chlorinated epoxy compound is used for manufacturing glycerol and epoxy resins. Furthermore, it is also used for producing elastomers, dyestuffs, cross-linked food starch, glycidyl ethers, plasticizers, surfactants, lubricants, adhesives, pharmaceutical products, oil emulsifiers, as a stabilizer for chlorine-containing substances like pesticide formulations, rubber, and solvents; as a solvent for cellulose, paints, resins, gums, esters, and lacquers; and as an insect fumigant in the paper and drug industries. Also, it works like a precursor to glycidyl nitrate, an energetic binder that finds use in explosive and propellant compositions.
