Feedstock for DSBP (4,4-Distyryl Biphenyl Derivative)

The direct raw materials utilized in the production process are biphenyl, hydrogen chloride, and formaldehyde. Thus, the surge or decline in the prices and availability of these raw materials directly impacts the overall supply chain of DSBP (4,4-Distyryl Biphenyl Derivative).

Biphenyl is mainly produced from crude oil, coal tar, and natural gas. Thus, fluctuations in the prices of these raw materials due to changes in global oil prices, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical factors directly impact biphenyl costs. High demand from sectors such as food preservation, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and agriculture drives prices. The use of biphenyl in food packaging, mainly as a fungicide and as a dye carrier in textiles, coupled with rising consumer goods production and agricultural exports, impacts the overall supply chain of biphenyl.

Hydrogen chloride is another important raw material in the production of DSBP, and several factors influence its availability and cost. The major raw materials for its production are chlorine, hydrogen, sodium chloride and sulfuric acid. Thus, fluctuations in the prices of these raw materials directly impact the production costs of hydrogen chloride. Additionally, variations in demand for hydrogen chloride from industries like steel manufacturing and water treatment also affect its pricing.

The demand for formaldehyde in various downstream industries, mainly in the construction and automotive sectors, influences its pricing. Global supply chain disruptions and rising feedstock prices, mainly for methanol, also determine formaldehyde's prices and availability. Additionally, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East contribute to upward pressure on costs. Fluctuations in demand from downstream chemical industries, such as urea-formaldehyde resins and phenol formaldehyde resins, further impact pricing. In Asia, mainly China, the demand for formaldehyde from the plastics and preservation industries affects both production levels and prices.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for DSBP (4,4-Distyryl Biphenyl Derivative) manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial DSBP (4,4-Distyryl Biphenyl Derivative) manufacturing.

• Production from biphenyl: The feedstock required for the industrial manufacturing process consists of biphenyl, hydrogen chloride, and formaldehyde.

The manufacturing process of DSBP is initiated with the reaction of biphenyl with hydrogen chloride and formaldehyde to form 4,4’-bis(chloromethyl)biphenyl as an intermediate. In the next step, the intermediate is reacted with trimethylphosphite to give 4,4’-bis(dimethoxyphosphonomethyl)biphenyl. Finally, the biphenylphosphonate is reacted with two molecules of benzaldehyde-2-sulphonic acid to produce DSBP as the final product.
