Monophenols; octylphenol, nonylphenol and their isomers, salts thereof

HS v2017 Code: 290713

About monophenols; octylphenol, nonylphenol and their isomers, salts thereof

HS code 290713 covers a group of organic chemical compounds known as monophenols, which are widely used in various industries. Monophenols, particularly octylphenol and nonylphenol, and their isomers and salts, play a crucial role in the production of a diverse range of products, from plastics and resins to detergents and personal care items. This industry is an integral part of the broader chemical sector, contributing to the development of numerous downstream industries and the overall economy.

Production process

The production of monophenols covered under HS code 290713 typically involves a multi-step process. The primary method is the alkylation of phenol, where an alkyl group (such as octyl or nonyl) is added to the phenol molecule. This reaction is often carried out under controlled temperature and pressure conditions, using various catalysts to facilitate the desired chemical transformation. The resulting products, octylphenol and nonylphenol, are then further processed to obtain the desired isomers and salts, which are the main outputs of this industry.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the production of monophenols under HS code 290713 include phenol, which serves as the primary raw material, as well as various alkylating agents (such as octyl or nonyl compounds) and catalysts. Additionally, the industry requires specialized equipment and machinery for the chemical synthesis, purification, and processing of the final products. Energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are also essential for the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 290713 are octylphenol, nonylphenol, and their isomers and salts. These compounds find applications in a wide range of industries, including the production of 390110 Polyethylene(390110), 390120 Polypropylene(390120), 390130 Polystyrene(390130), and various resins and plastics. They are also used in the manufacture of 340220 Cleaning preparations(340220) and 340290 Other surface-active preparations(340290), as well as in personal care products.
