Methylcyclopentane requires high technological level and limited market demand, resulting in low enthusiasm for production by enterprises

Methylcyclopentane, with the molecular formula CH3C5H9, is a colorless and transparent liquid with a pungent odor, insoluble in water, and soluble in most solvents such as alcohol, ether, benzene, and acetone. Methylcyclopentane is a component of naphthenes in petroleum. It is commonly used as a standard solvent for gas chromatography analysis and a chemical solvent. It is an important chemical intermediate for organic synthesis and is also used as an azeotropic distillation agent, extraction agent, etc.

Methylcyclopentane mainly exists in petroleum, which contains a large amount of naphthenes. The by-products obtained after petroleum processing contain a large amount of C5 and C6 components. After distillation and separation of the raffinate C5 and C6, the light components and Heavy components are obtained to obtain mixed components such as methylcyclopentane and hexane. The methylcyclopentane and hexane can be separated by further extraction and distillation to obtain the methylcyclopentane product. In addition, methylcyclopentane also exists in industrial hexane obtained after distillation.

Methylcyclopentane is a niche chemical product. Due to factors such as limited domestic market demand, high product technology level, and immature domestic large-scale production technology, the number of companies in the methylcyclopentane industry in my country is relatively small. Coupled with the increasingly strict environmental protection policies in the chemical industry, some companies in the methylcyclopentane industry have withdrawn from the market. Currently, the number of companies in China’s methylcyclopentane industry is very small, and the industry market is highly concentrated.

According to the“China Methyl Cyclopentane Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center》shows that at present, methylcyclopentane is mainly used in the fields of solvent oil and organic synthesis, especially in the field of solvent oil, with a relatively high proportion of applications. In addition, thanks to the development of domestic solvent oils, organic synthesis, gas chromatography analysis standard materials and other fields, the market demand for methylcyclopentane has been stimulated, but the demand is relatively limited. In 2022, the domestic demand for methylcyclopentane will be 4,500 Around tons.

Industrial researchers personnel said that due to the high level of methylcyclopentane production technology and immature production technology in the industry, coupled with market demand Limited, resulting in insufficient investment in R&D of methylcyclopentane by enterprises in the industry, making it difficult to achieve major breakthroughs in production processes and product applications, and causing slow growth in market demand for methylcyclopentane. In addition, as my country’s environmental protection policies become more stringent, As a result, methylcyclopentane production companies may face phased or even permanent production shutdowns caused by non-compliance with environmental protection standards.
