Diisobutylene Market: Overview
·
Diisobutylene is an isomeric compound. It is a liquid mixture
containing two isomers: 2,4,4-trimethyl-pentene-1 and
2,4,4-trimethyl-pentene-2. Diisobutylene is a colorless compound that has a
flashpoint of 10°F. It has an odor akin to aromatic gasoline.
·
Diisobutylene is produced by the reaction of isobutylene with
tertiary butyl alcohol in the presence of sulfonic acid
·
Diisobutylene is used as a chemical intermediate in many
industries including lubricant additives, rubber chemicals, and coatings. It is
used in the polymer industry due to its chemical stability and high
compatibility.
·
It is also employed as a co-monomer in the production of
elastomers, polycarbonate resins, and hydrocarbon resins
·
Other applications of diisobutylene include production of isononyl
derivative and octylphenol
Growth in Automobile and Refinery Industries to Drive
Diisobutylene Market
·
Rise in demand for diisobutylene in automobile and refinery
industries is expected to boost the diisobutylene market during the forecast
period. Increase in expenditure in downstream industries has been driving the global
diisobutylene market.
·
Growth in focus on reducing the cost of fuel in the automotive
industry is also driving the demand for diisobutylene. Diisobutylene is
used as an additive in two-stroke engine, which does not produce any harmful
gases while burning, thus ensuring in low soot deposition.
·
Diisobutylene offers electrical insulation, high tensile
strength, and low gas permeability. This is also boosting its consumption in
various end-use industries.
·
The diisobutylene market is labor intensive and has various
technology barriers. Volatile prices of crude oil and recession in the
automotive industry are expected to hamper the diisobutylene market during the
forecast period
·
Diisobutylene market is facing supply-demand issues due to the
industrial shutdown caused by the COVID 19 outbreak. COVID-19 pandemic has
directly affected the demand and production of diisobutylene by disrupting the
downstream supply chain. Disruption in supply of raw materials is projected to
hamper operations of companies. Supply shortage also results in an increase in
prices of raw materials of diisobutylene.
·
The industrial shutdown has also adversely impacted product and
inventory transportation, as logistic services have been hampered. These
factors are expected to restrain the market in the near future.
