Phenol and acetone
Adapt quickly in uncertain markets, with expert intelligence
Discover the factors influencing phenol and acetone markets
The global phenol-acetone market has historically experienced uncertainty of supply and an unbalanced market, due in part to unexpected closures. This raises questions about future supply. However, new projects in the Middle East, China and India may help to resolve the issue.
Acetone and phenol are co-products, usually made from cumene, itself derived from benzene and propylene. Just over half a tonne of acetone is produced for each tonne of phenol.
Acetone is used to produce methyl methacrylate (MMA), methacrylic acid (MAA), and bisphenol-A (BPA). The largest markets for phenol are bisphenol-A (BPA) and phenolic resins.
