The product of Isohexane is still unfamiliar to many people. It has existed in the market for a very long time, but in the last two years, it has attracted more attention from the industry due to the deepening of industrial structure. So what is Isohexane?
Isohexane is a light component of C6, and at present, there is no manufacturer producing it alone, and most of them are produced with n-Hexane. However, many cleaning markets and even high-end precision cleaning agent markets have been occupied by Isohexane.
| Natural Gas (Henry Hub) | 2.25 | -2.72 | USD per MMBtu |
| Ethanol | 1.32 | 0.76 | USD per Gallon |
| Heating Oil | 28.79 | 0.93 | USD per 100 Liter |
| Coal | 51.50 | -0.48 | USD per Ton |
Real-time data for indices, futures, commodities or cryptocurrencies are provided by market as of September, 28, 2020First of all, from the perspective of raw materials, as the cleaning agent has high requirements on the control of sulfur and chlorine content and other trace elements and harmful substances, due to the limitation of technology and equipment, the higher purity Isohexane has the better use experience, so coal naphtha is the raw material for high-purity Isohexane.
From its own properties, Isohexane is light in density, easy to volatilize and tasteless. It also performs well in aerosol preparation. However, this characteristic is also the reason why it is difficult to be a good solvent for vegetable oil extraction like n-Hexane. The distillation range of Isoexane is less than 2 degree, which therefore makes it very inconvenient for workers to operate. According to the current domestic device and equipment parameters, the oil consumption will be greatly increased. Consequently, the production cost of Isohexane will also increase greatly, and the increase of production cost will undoubtedly affect the market price of isohexane, which is difficult to reduce in the short term.
In addition to the above characteristics, the low price is also an important reason why it can replace the traditional 6# solvent oil and other products and occupy a favorable position. In the future, more manufacturers will invest in the production and R & D of Isohexane. At present, Junyuan Petroleum Group, a giant producer of Isohexane and chemical solvents, is the largest one in the Chinese market. The situation of monopolizing the Isohexane market is about to face serious challenges.
