2-The chloroethanol industry has high barriers and limited market space. Investment in the industry needs to be cautious.

2-Ethylene chlorohydrin, also known as ethylene chlorohydrin and chlorohydrin, is a colorless and transparent ether-smelling liquid with chemical formula C2H5ClO, boiling point 128.7°C, relative density 1.2045, refractive index 1.4417, and its appearance is a colorless membrane-transmitting liquid, and its energy It can be mixed with water and ethanol in any proportion. 2-Chlorohydrin is generally transported in tank trucks. To avoid collisions, it can also be packed in iron barrels. To prevent direct contact and vapor escape, it needs to be stored and transported according to the regulations for toxic substances.

2-Chloroethanol can be widely used in synthetic rubber, medicine, dyes, pesticides and other fields. Specifically, in terms of synthetic rubber, 2-chloroethanol can be used to synthesize dichloroethyl formal, react with acetylene to produce chloroethyl vinyl ether, and is a raw material for generating acidic polyacrylic bodies. In medicine, 2-chloroethanol is used in the production of products such as piperazine phosphate, furazolidone, tetraimidazole, ascaris and procaine. In terms of pesticides, after ammoniation and chlorination, 2-chloroethanol can be used as 2-chloroethylamine hydrochloride to make insect repellent products and is also a pharmaceutical intermediate. In terms of dyes, 2-chloroethanol can be used to produce thiodiglycol products, which are printing and dyeing solvents and vat dyes for textiles. Overall, 2-chloroethanol products have a wide range of applications and great market potential.

There are only a small number of companies in the 2-chloroethanol industry in my country, and a complete and unified standard has not yet been formed in the industry. Therefore, there are large differences in product quality among companies. According to different purity, 2-chloroethanol can be divided into low-purity 2-chloroethanol and high-purity 2-chloroethanol. The chloroethanol content of low-purity 2-chloroethanol is between 32% and 99%, and the chloroethanol content of high-purity 2-chloroethanol is between 32% and 99%. The chloroethanol content is above 99% with few impurities. 2-Chloroethanol is widely used and can be used to make chemical raw materials, medicines, pesticides, synthetic rubber, etc., and is also used as an organic solvent.

Although 2-chloroethanol is widely used, its application scale in various fields is relatively limited, and the relatively small market volume inhibits the enthusiasm for industry development. In addition, 2-chloroethanol is a hazardous chemical, flammable, explosive, and highly toxic. There are major safety hazards in storage and transportation. Therefore, its production is subject to stricter supervision and management by the state. Not only are there high qualification barriers to enter the 2-chloroethanol industry, but they are also restricted by factors such as environmental protection supervision. Therefore, there are only a small number of companies involved in the 2-chloroethanol industry. There are only a few domestic companies with formal relevant approval documents and large-scale production. Several companies, such as Wuxi Ginkgo Plastic Technology Co., Ltd., Anhui Sanhe Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., and Ke Chemical (Beijing) Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. To sum up, competition in my country’s 2-chloroethanol industry is relatively relaxed. According to the“2023-2028 2-Chloroethanol Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center , China’s 2-chloroethanol industry market size is 387 million yuan.

Industrial analysts believe that although 2-chloroethanol has good application prospects in the fields of synthetic rubber, dyes, medicines and pesticides, However, due to factors such as high product prices and strict supervision on production, transportation, and use, the downstream fields of synthetic rubber, dyes, medicines, and pesticides are still cautious about the application of 2-chloroethanol products at this stage. The demand for domestic products is limited, and domestic products are basically Can meet domestic market demand. Moreover, 2-chloroethanol is a highly hazardous chemical product. The government stipulates that product production, transportation, and use require corresponding licenses, which increases the qualification barriers for 2-chloroethanol and limits 2-chloroethanol investment to a certain extent. Therefore, domestic investors need to be cautious when investing in 2-chloroethanol products at this stage.
