Cumene Hydroperoxide Market Sees Promising Growth during 2017 - 2025

Cumene Hydroperoxide is a peroxol that is cumene in which the alpha-hydrogen is replaced by a hydroperoxy group. Cumene Hydroperoxide is a comparatively stable organic peroxide. Cumene Hydroperoxide upon decomposition gives acetophenone, cumyl alcohol and methylstyrene. Pure Cumene Hydroperoxide can be stored at room temperature. However, the risk of an explosion and uncontrolled reaction is high.

Cumene Hydroperoxide is a slightly pale yellow liquid with an irritating odor. It is denser than water. It is also soluble in acetone, alcohol, hydrocarbons, esters and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Cumene Hydroperoxide is toxic if inhaled or absorbed on skin and is explosive in nature. It has high thermal sensitivity and is widely used in the production of Phenol and Acetone from benzene -- propane is used as an intermediate in the Cumene process.

Cumene Hydroperoxide is manufactured through the oxidation of Cumene at an elevated temperature and pressure in the presence of an aqueous Sodium Carbonate catalyst.

Cumene Hydroperoxide is used as a reagent for manufacturing organic peroxides, as a polymerization inhibitor and as a strong free radical source because Cumene Hydroperoxide contains more than 8.5% active oxygen. Cumene Hydroperoxide is a strong oxidizing agent which makes it a valuable specialty intermediate in epoxy resin and plastic industries.

Cumene Hydroperoxide finds its application in the preparation of polystyrene nanocapsules. It also acts as a radical polymerization initiator, particularly for acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene. Cumene Hydroperoxide is also used as an epoxidation reagent for fatty acid esters and allylic alcohols.

The demand for phenol is increasing across the globe due to an increase in the use of products which are manufactured from the derivates of phenol, such as Bisphenol-A. It is slated that an increase in the consumption of phenol, which are mainly produced by the decomposition of Cumene Hydroperoxide, in turn, will gear up the consumption of Cumene Hydroperoxide during the forecasted period.

Due to an increase in demand for alternative energy sources, an increase in demand for epoxy resins (produced from derivatives of Bisphenol-A, which in turn, is produced by the decomposition of Cumene Hydroperoxide products, i.e phenol and acetone) from power generators and wind turbines (where epoxy resins are used widely in rotor blade composites) is anticipated. This, in turn, will affect the Cumene Hydroperoxide market positively.

It is expected that with an increase in demand for adhesives, sealant chemicals and coatings for various applications, the consumption of Cumene Hydroperoxide will also increase, thereby leading to the growth of the Cumene Hydroperoxide market.

However, the toxic and explosive nature of Cumene Hydroperoxide might hamper its usage in various applications, thereby hindering the growth of the Cumene Hydroperoxide market.
