2-Propylheptanol (2-PH) is an organic compound, which is a C4-based oxo alcohol. It is used as a plasticizer alcohol in the production of plasticizers like DPHP (di-2-propylheptyl phthalate), which are essential for enhancing the flexibility and durability of PVC and other plastic materials. These PVC materials are further used in applications like cable insulation, tarpaulin fabrics, and other construction materials. It also finds its application as a raw material in raw material in the production of adhesives, lubricants, and acrylate compounds. It is also utilized in manufacturing surfactants, which are further used in the production of detergents and industrial cleaning agents.

Feedstock for 2-Propylheptanol

The feedstock involved in the production of 2-Propylheptanol is Butadiene. It is produced as a by-product of crude oil refining and natural gas processing. The price of crude oil and natural gas serve as major factors that directly influence the economics of refinery operations and the production of butadiene. Additionally, the refining capacity also affects how butadiene is sourced. Also, advances in refining technology, such as steam cracking (used for breaking down hydrocarbons into smaller molecules), further affect the production of butadiene. Butadiene is mainly used in the production of synthetic rubbers (such as SBR, BR, and EPDM) and chemicals like adiponitrile, which is further used in the production of nylon. The demand for these products from industries such as automotive (tires), plastics, textiles, and construction also largely influences the requirement for butadiene.
 

Market Drivers for 2-Propylheptanol

The market for 2-propylheptanol is majorly led by its demand as a plasticizer alcohol used in the production of plasticizers. Its application in manufacturing DPHP (di-2-propylheptyl phthalate), which is further used in producing flexible PVC, further enhances its demand in the polymer, plastic, and construction industries. Its usage as a starting material in manufacturing surfactants, used in making cleaning agents and detergents also promotes its demand in the household and industrial cleaning industries. Its involvement as an intermediate in the synthesis of acrylate compounds, adhesives, and lubricants also contributes to its demand in the chemical manufacturing and adhesives industries.

Also, multiple factors affect industrial procurement of 2-propylheptanol, such as the variations in the availability or price of feedstocks (C4 alkenes), market demand, etc. Strict regulations regarding the production, handling, and distribution of 2-Propylheptanol also impact its procurement strategies. The CAPEX for 2-Propylheptanol production refers to the investment in constructing and designing the plant, along with the expenses associated with purchasing and installing specialized machinery.

The major equipment used in the production of 2-propylheptanol is hydrogenation units, piping systems, high-pressure reactors, mixing tanks, and control systems like PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers). Also, OPEX for 2-Propylheptanol production involves purchasing raw materials, such as butenes (or other alkenes), the cost of laboratory testing, and wages for staff. It also includes the cost of energy consumption for heating, cooling, and maintaining the proper pressure and temperature in reactors, along with regular maintenance of equipment.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for 2-Propylheptanol manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial 2-Propylheptanol manufacturing.

• Production via Hydroformylation: The feedstock involved in the production of 2-Propylheptanol is a C4 alkene (Butadiene). This method of production involves the process of hydroformylation of C4 alkene to produce 2-Propylheptanol as the product. The synthesis begins with the oxo-synthesis (hydroformylation) of butadiene to form an aldehyde, followed by hydrogenation, leading to the formation of 2-Propylheptanol as the final product.
