Oxybenzone Production Cost Reports

The report provides a detailed analysis essential for establishing an oxybenzone production plant. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for oxybenzone production, including the cost of oxybenzone production, oxybenzone plant cost, oxybenzone production costs, and the overall oxybenzone production plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating an oxybenzone production plant. These encompass production processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.

Oxybenzone is an organic compound that is categorized as a crystalline solid that is widely used as an ingredient in sunscreens. It is mainly contemplated as an ingredient in the formulation of sun protection creams such as sunscreens, etc. It is also included in the production of personal care and skin care products. It is an organic compound found in skin care products like lotions (including insect repellents, etc.), and it helps absorb UV radiation and protects the skin. Additionally, oxybenzone is a crystalline solid that serves as a stabilizer and is broadly utilized in the production of certain plastics.

The market for oxybenzone is mainly driven by its demand in the cosmetics and chemical industries. Its demand in the global market is increased by its uses in a variety of industries, such as the chemical and cosmetics sectors. The substance is mostly utilized as a crystalline component in UV-protection creams, such as sunscreen and other sun protection formulations which increases its market expansion among cosmetic and skincare industries. Moreover, oxybenzone is a vital component of the plastics industry because it is widely employed as a stabilizer in the production of certain plastics. Furthermore, the availability and cost of production of oxybenzone’s raw materials, which include (benzoyl chloride and 3-methoxyphenol), oxybenzone market prices, storage and handling requirements, transportation and logistics, quality and purity of oxybenzone, environmental impact and sustainability practices, etc. The global procurement of this commodity is greatly influenced by its necessity as a key component for the cosmetics, skincare, personal care, and plastic industries.

Raw Material for Oxybenzone Production

According to the Oxybenzone production plant project report, the major raw materials for Oxybenzone production include Benzoyl Chloride-3-methoxyphenol.

Manufacturing Process of Oxybenzone

The extensive Oxybenzone production cost report consists of this major industrial production process:

• Production by Friedel-Craft Reaction: In this process, benzoyl chloride and 3-methoxyphenol react chemically, in the presence of a Lewis-acid catalyst resulting in the formation of oxybenzone as the final product.

Oxybenzone is an organic compound with a chemical formula C14H12O3. It comprises fourteen carbon atoms, along with twelve hydrogen and three oxygen atoms. It is a white-colored powdered compound with a molecular weight of 228.24 g/mol. It is a hydroxybenzophenone comprising of a benzophenone at the 2nd and 4th positions of the base benzene ring. It is a crystalline solid and has a weak characteristic odor. Its melting and boiling point is measured approximately at 65.5 °C and 155°C, respectively. Oxybenzone is an organic solid derived from the reaction between benzoyl chloride and 3-methoxyphenol.

Its flash point is measured at approximately 100 °C. It is insoluble in water and is readily soluble in most of the organic solvents. The compound is soluble in alcohols, including ethanol and is also soluble in toluene. Similarly, it is soluble in carbon tetrachloride. Its density is 1.32 g/cm3 under normal conditions. It remains stable at a standard temperature of 25 °C. It decomposes when heated at an elevated temperature while releasing acrid smoke in the air.
