Tannin Blue is also known as blue-black ink or iron gall ink. It is a dye and pigment derived from tannic acid, which is a type of tannin. It is widely used as a principal component in the production of blue-black inks, especially iron gall ink, which is used for writing and documentation due to its resistance to fading.

It is also utilized as a dye intermediate in the textile industry for coloring fabrics due to its ability to form stable, dark-colored complexes with iron salts. It also finds its application in the process of tanning animal hides to stabilize collagen fibers. It is often used as a coagulant and adsorbent for removing heavy metals and organic pollutants from water due to its strong metal-chelating properties. Tannin Blue is also utilized as a corrosion inhibitor for metals, especially in acidic environments.

Feedstock for Tannin Blue

The feedstock involved in the production of Tannin Blue is Tannin-Rich Plant Materials. Tannin-rich plant materials are derived from various plant species, including oak, chestnut, sumac, and quebracho. Variations in the availability of these plants based on agricultural conditions and geographical location directly affect the production and sourcing strategies for tannin-rich plant materials. Factors such as weather patterns, harvesting cycles, and the quality of the land where these plants grow can significantly impact the supply, which in turn influences costs and sourcing decisions for tannin-rich plant materials.

The geographical location of tannin-rich plants also serves as a major factor that affects its sourcing logistics and costs. Geopolitical instability, infrastructure quality, and trade regulations in these regions can also impact supply chain reliability and pricing. Many countries have laws in place to protect forests, limit tree-cutting, and encourage sustainable practices. Thus, compliance with environmental regulations regarding deforestation and sustainable harvesting practices also has a significant impact on sourcing tannin-rich plant materials. The transportation of tannin-rich materials from the point of harvest to processing plants or final destinations also serves as a major factor in affecting its sourcing decisions.
 

Market Drivers for Tannin Blue

The primary factor that drives the demand for Tannin Blue is its application as a crucial component in manufacturing inks and dyes, which further boosts its market growth. Its utilization as a component in the production of blue-black inks for writing and documentation largely boosts its demand in the textile and printing industries. Its usage as a coagulant in the process of wastewater treatment to facilitate the removal of toxic ions, like lead, from industrial effluents further enhances its demand in the water treatment industry. Its application as a corrosion inhibitor to protect metal surfaces from corrosion also contributes to its demand in the metalworking and construction industries. Its involvement in the process of stabilization and preservation of animal hides also fuels its demand in the leather industry.

Tannin Blue is derived from natural sources, such as tannins (especially from oak, sumac, or other plants) and certain synthetic chemicals. The availability of these raw materials plays a significant role in the industrial Tannin Blue procurement. Fluctuations in the supply of these raw materials due to climate change, water scarcity, or environmental regulations can significantly impact costs and procurement strategies for Tannin Blue. The demand for Tannin Blue is closely tied to its primary applications, especially in the leather industry.

Growth in the fashion, leather, and furniture sectors drives increased demand for leather products, which in turn increases the demand for tannins. Therefore, changes in the demand for tannin blue from major downstream industries directly influence its market price and procurement decisions. Political stability, trade policies, and transportation infrastructure in producing regions also play an important role in determining costs and procurement strategies for Tannin Blue.

CAPEX for manufacturing Tannin Blue includes the major investments needed to establish and equip the production facility. It includes expenses involved in purchasing land and constructing the necessary plant buildings, along with safety systems, including fire suppression and ventilation systems. Major equipment includes weighing scales, feeding hoppers, screw feeders, stainless steel dissolver tanks, agitators, pH Meters, temperature probes, metering pumps, centrifuges, vacuum filtration units, tray dryers, and hammer mills.

Other equipment includes a bulk storage hopper, automatic bagging machine, sealing machine, process control panel (PLC/DCS), sampling ports, and dust collection system. Storage tanks needed to hold raw materials, such as tannins and other chemicals, as well as the final product also add to CAPEX. Utility systems like steam boilers for heating, cooling systems to control temperatures, and water treatment plants to manage wastewater also contribute to CAPEX. Additionally, investment in quality control labs and infrastructure for power and water supply is necessary to ensure smooth and continuous production is also a part of CAPEX.

OPEX refers to the ongoing costs needed to run the Tannin Blue manufacturing process every day. It includes purchasing raw materials like tannins, solvents, and other chemicals required for production. Energy costs for running reactors, mixers, and other machinery are significant operational expenses. Regular maintenance and repairs are needed to keep machinery in good condition and avoid production delays, as well as labor costs also contribute to OPEX. Costs for waste disposal, safety checks, and quality control testing are essential to ensure the product meets industry standards & regulations, are also major operational expenses. Other ongoing expenses include chemicals used for cleaning, wastewater treatment, and environmental compliance. Utilities like water, steam, and electricity are also continuously required to keep the plant running.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• Production from Tannin-Rich Plant Materials: The feedstock required for this process includes Tannin-Rich Plant Materials.

The production of Tannin Blue begins with drying and grinding tannin-rich plant materials, followed by extracting the tannins using water or aqueous alcohol as solvents. Then, the resulting extract is filtered to remove solid residues, which form a clear tannin solution. Further, the filtered tannin extract is combined with the iron mordant solution, which results in the formation of Tannin Blue.
 

Properties of Tannin Blue

Tannin Blue commonly refers to the blue-black coloration produced when hydrolyzable tannins like tannic acid react with ferric chloride. Tannic acid is the main component responsible for the Tannin Blue reaction. It is a pale yellow to light brown amorphous powder with a strong astringent taste, odorless nature, and high solubility in water, alcohol, and dilute alkalis. The compound is insoluble in most organic solvents and, has a density of about 2.12 g/cm³ and decomposes above 200 degree Celsius. It is weakly acidic and is known for its ability to precipitate proteins and form insoluble complexes with heavy metals and alkaloids. The compound is sensitive to oxidation, hydrolyzes to yield gallic acid and glucose, and acts as a polyhydroxy phenolic antioxidant.
