The market penetration rate of oxygen-containing bleach continues to increase, and the demand for tetraacetylethylenediamine (TEAD) is broad

Tetraacetylethylenediamine, TEAD for short, is a chemical substance with the molecular formula C10H16O4N2. It appears as white or light yellow crystals, has a slight acetic acid smell, and is slightly soluble in water. It is mainly used as a surfactant for printing and dyeing, textiles, and washing. and other fields.

There are currently two main production methods for tetraacetylethylenediamine, one is the one-step method, which refers to a method that uses acetyl chloride, ethylenediamine, and acetic anhydride as raw materials and directly generates tetraacetylethylenediamine through chemical reactions. It has the advantage of simple process. It has the disadvantages of large amount of raw materials and high cost; the continuous method refers to a method that uses anhydrous acetic acid and ethylenediamine as raw materials and continuously flows into the reactor to react to generate tetraacetylethylenediamine. It has the advantages of large output and high product purity. As well as the disadvantages of complex process and high equipment cost.

Tetraacetylethylenediamine is an efficient low-temperature oxygen-based bleaching activator. It is mainly used in the manufacturing of oxygen-containing bleaches. It plays a role in improving the washing efficacy of oxygen-containing bleaches under low-temperature conditions and whitening, brightening, disinfecting, and Sterilization function. Compared with chlorine-containing bleach, oxygen-containing bleach has the advantages of non-toxic, no chlorine smell, good environmental protection, and good biocompatibility. It is a key additive for detergents and has broad market demand.

According to the“Research on Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects of China’s Tetraacetyl Ethylene Diamine (TEAD) Industry from 2023 to 2027″ released by the Industrial Research Center Report” shows that tetraacetylethylenediamine is an important material for the production of oxygen-containing bleach. As the market penetration rate of oxygen-containing bleach continues to increase, its market demand continues to increase and its scale continues to expand. . The global tetraacetylethylenediamine market size will be approximately US$480 million in 2022, a year-on-year growth of 3.2%. Among them, Europe is the main consumer region of tetraacetylethylenediamine in the world, and tetraacetylethylenediamine has been popularized in more than 90% of European detergents.

Globally, the major companies in the field of tetraacetylethylenediamine include British Warwick Chemicals, German WeylChem Wiesbaden, German Henkel Group and other international companies, as well as Chinese companies such as Zhejiang Jinke Daily Chemical New Materials Co., Ltd. and Shandong Taihe Technology Co., Ltd.

From the perspective of the domestic market, the number of local tetraacetylethylenediamine manufacturers is still relatively small, and the industry is still in its early development stage. Zhejiang Jinke Daily Chemical is the only company in my country and even Asia with the mass production capacity of tetraacetylethylenediamine. Its product quality and technology have reached the world-class level. In June 2022, the company will build a new plant with an annual output of 15,000 tons of tetraacetylethylenediamine ( TAED) cleaner production technological transformation project. In the future, as leading companies continue to optimize their technologies, domestic TAED output is expected to continue to increase, and the industry’s development speed is expected to continue to accelerate.

Industrial analysts personnel said that tetraacetylethylenediamine is an important type of bleach activator, mainly It is used in the manufacturing of detergent auxiliaries and oxygen-containing bleaches, and the terminal application field is textile printing and dyeing. As the market penetration rate of oxygen-containing bleach continues to increase, the demand for tetraacetylethylenediamine continues to increase, and the industry development prospects are good. At present, the consumption market of tetraacetylethylenediamine is still mainly concentrated in Europe. In the future, with the continuous development of the domestic economy and the continuous upgrading of related technologies, it is expected to achieve accelerated penetration in the domestic market, and the industry development potential is huge.
