There are many types of xylenol and broad application prospects

Xylenol (English name: Xylenol), also known as mixed xylenol, is a type of phenolic compound, mainly divided into coking xylenol (or industrial xylenol) and synthetic xylenol. Coked xylenol is a mixture of xylenol isomers, namely 2,3-xylenol, 2,4-xylenol, 2,5-xylenol, 2,6-xylenol, 3,4-xylenol Xylenol and 3,5-xylenol are a mixture of six xylenol isomers; synthetic xylenol is basically a single component, such as 3,5-xylenol, 2,3-xylenol, 2 ,6-xylenol, etc.

Xylenol includes industrial xylenol, 2,6-xylenol, 3,5-xylenol and other product specifications. There are many domestic production companies, but most of them are small in scale and there are only a few large companies. Therefore, industry concentration is low. Xylenol has a wide range of applications. 2,6-xylenol is mainly used in the production of polyphenylene ether, pesticides and pharmaceutical intermediates. Industrial xylenol is mainly used in the production of insulating paint, disinfectants, plasticizers, etc. 2, 5-xylenol is mainly used to produce anti-hyperlipidemic drugs, and 3,5-xylenol is mainly used to make high-efficiency and low-toxic pesticides. According to the “ 2022-2026 Xylenol Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions ReportAdvertisement” shows that China’s xylenol demand will exceed 20,000 tons in 2021.

The technical barriers to industrial xylenol are not high. Currently, there are many domestic companies and the market competition is relatively fierce. Key enterprises in the domestic industrial xylenol industry include Henan Hongye Technology Chemical Co., Ltd., Chifeng Boyuan Technology Co., Ltd., Xinjiang Jinghua Yumeng Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanxi Jiangxian Chengxin Fine Chemical Co., Ltd., and Heze Ruisheng Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. wait.

​ ​ 2,6-xylenol uses a phenol-methanol production process, which has high technical barriers. Currently, there are only a few domestic companies and market competition is relatively relaxed. Key domestic 2,6-xylenol enterprises include Nantong Xingchen Synthetic Materials Co., Ltd. and Nanjing Datang Chemical Co., Ltd. Among them, Nantong Xingchen Synthetic Materials Co., Ltd. is the largest 2,6-xylenol production enterprise in China and mainly uses it for its own use. , produces polyphenylene ether.

Industry analysts said that with the continuous deepening of xylenol industry research and the continuous development of application technology, The application potential of phenylene ether (PPE), medicine and other fields will also be gradually developed, and as the quality of xylenol products continues to improve, the application proportion of xylenol products in new fields will increase, and new investment Enterprises must seize market opportunities and develop specialized products suitable for various fields according to the needs of downstream customers to improve the competitiveness of enterprise products.
