Methyl Chloride Production Cost Analysis Report

Report Overview: 

Methyl chloride (CH₃Cl), also known as Chloromethane, refers to a flammable, colorless, toxic gas primarily manufactured by the reaction of methanol with hydrogen chloride and can also be prepared by the chlorination of methane. It is usually produced by methyl chloride tranferase, which is present in wood-rotting fungi and salt marsh plants. The prominent French chemists Jean-Baptiste Dumas of the École Polytechnique and Eugène Péligot of the Institute National Agronomique teamed up to devise the first synthesis of chloromethane. Currently, methyl chloride is used as an extractant for oils and resins, in petroleum refining, a solvent in butyl rubber manufacturing, and as a propellant in polystyrene foam production. It is also utilized as a methylating and chlorinating agent in organic chemistry.

One of the primary factors driving the market is the extensive utilization of methyl chloride for silicone and butyl rubber production. Additionally, methyl chloride finds application in adhesives and sealants, fabric, textile and leather products, paints and coatings, and personal care products. Furthermore, the most common usage of methyl chloride is as a semiconductor in electronics. Besides this, the application of methyl chloride in silicone fluids, which are used in an extensive range of products like antifoaming agents, is creating a positive market outlook. On the other hand, methyl chloride is used to produce quaternary ammonium compounds such as dimethyl ammonium chloride, usually found in fabric softeners. Furthermore, the demand for methyl chloride is escalating in the pharmaceutical industry as it extracts chemicals from plants and food for medicines such as steroids and vitamins. It is also employed to produce methyl cellulose, agricultural chemicals and for miscellaneous uses, including tetramethyl lead. Moreover, the key players in the industry have opted for merger and acquisition strategies to increase their production capacities, which in turn, is strengthening the market growth.
