The market demand for cyclopentanone continues to release, and there is broad room for industry development in the future

Cyclopentanone, also known as cyclopentanone, appears as a colorless oily liquid with an ether-like smell slightly like mint. Cyclopentanone is insoluble in water, but soluble in various organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers, and ketones. Cyclopentanone is easy to polymerize, and is more likely to polymerize in the presence of trace amounts of acid. When exposed to high heat, open flames, or oxidants, there is a danger of explosion.

Cyclopentanone production processes include adipic acid pyrolysis, cyclopentene direct oxidation, indirect methods, etc. Among them, adipic acid pyrolysis is relatively commonly used. The adipic acid pyrolysis method is to mix and heat adipic acid and barium hydroxide, and distill the product. The crude product is then separated by salting out, and the finished product is obtained through processes such as neutralization, water washing, drying, and fractionation.

In recent years, factors such as technological progress and demand upgrading have been continuously driving the upgrading of the cyclopentanone industrial structure. Against this background, the purity and performance of cyclopentanone products have been greatly improved, and high-end cyclopentanone products such as electronic-grade cyclopentanone and pharmaceutical-grade cyclopentanone have The proportion of pentanone products continues to increase.

Cyclopentanone is a fine organic chemical raw material that can be used to produce chemicals such as methyl dihydrojasmonate, bromocyclopentane, 1-cyclohexyl-5-(4-chlorobutyl)tetrazole, etc. It can be used to synthesize drugs, resins, pesticides, aromatherapy, pesticide intermediates and other products. Cyclopentanone has a wide range of downstream applications, including spices, medicines, pesticides, rubber synthesis, electronic chemical solvents and other fields.

According to the “2022-2026 Cyclopentanone Industry Venture Investment Situation and Investment and Financing Strategy Guidelines Report released by the Industrial Research Center, In recent years, thanks to my country’s steady economic growth and the increasingly mature production technology, my country’s cyclopentanone production capacity has continued to improve. At this stage, my country has become one of the world’s major producers of cyclopentanone, and its cyclopentanone production capacity is meeting domestic market demand. At the same time, it is also exported to overseas markets such as Europe, America, and Southeast Asia.

The global cyclopentanone industry entered a stage of rapid development in the 1990s. In the international market, the main suppliers of cyclopentanone include Solvay of France, Zeon of Japan, BASF of Germany, and Caffaro of Italy. my country’s cyclopentanone industry started late. In the early days, international chemical companies occupied the domestic market share. Later, as the competitiveness of domestic companies increased, my country’s cyclopentanone self-sufficiency rate increased significantly. At this stage, domestic cyclopentanone suppliers include Zhejiang Xinhe Cheng Co., Ltd., Shandong Guorun Petrochemical, Hengxing Fine Chemical, Shanghai Pelco Chemical, etc.

Industry analysts said that after years of development and accumulation, my country has become a major producer of cyclopentanone, and domestically produced cyclopentanone has been exported to Southeast Asia and other overseas markets. As a fine chemical raw material, cyclopentanone has wide application fields and broad market demand space. Under the transformation of industrial structure, the demand for cyclopentanone in the electronics and pharmaceutical fields is growing rapidly. In the future, the cyclopentanone industry will continue to be high-end and refined. , a shift in the direction of high added value.
