• 2-Propenenitrile is essential in synthesizing acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) resins, which are highly sought-after polymers in various key industries. ABS is renowned for its toughness and impact resistance, making it a favored material for various automotive parts, consumer electronics, and household appliances. According to a report published by ACEA, global car sales in 2023 rebounded by almost 10% to over 72 million units as supply chain challenges eased. European sales increased by 18.6%, with Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey showing significant growth. North American sales remained consistent with US recording of 14.4% increase. South American sales were stable as well led by Brazil’s 9.2% growth. Japanese sales grew by 15.8% while Chinese sales increased by 4.5% to over 22 million units representing nearly 31% of global sales. Indian sales source to a record of 4.2 million units. The rise in sales and manufacturing of automobiles across the world drives the demand for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene for manufacturing automotive parts, thereby driving the 2-propenenitrile market growth.
• 2-Propenenitrile is an important component in the production of acrylic fibers, which are widely used in the textile industry for its wool-like feel, durability, and resistance to adverse weather conditions. These fibers are popular in apparel, home furnishing, and outdoor fabrics. The gradual expansion in textile industry, mainly in emerging economies, is driving the demand for these versatile fibers. As consumption and production of textile is on the rise in these regions, mainly fueled by rising economic growth and consumer spending, the demand for 2-propenenitrile similarly escalates, thereby driving its market growth.
• 2-Propenenitrile is a crucial component in the production of adiponitrile, an essential ingredient in the manufacturing of nylon 6,6. This high-performance polymer is extensively used across various sectors due to its properties such as high tensile strength, heat resistance, and durability. Nylon 6,6 is ideal for automotive components like gears and bearings, textile applications like high-strength threads, and various industrial goods. As these sectors continue to seek materials that enhance product performance and longevity, the demand for nylon 6,6 escalates, thereby driving the demand for 2-propenenitrile. In 2019, Huafeng's 50,000 tonnes per year adiponitrile plant began production and was set to reach 100,000 tons per year capacity. In line with this, in 2022, INVISTA Nylon Chemicals (China) Co. Inaugurated its new adiponitrile plant in Shanghai chemical industry park (SCIP), representing A7 billion RMB investment. The plant with capacity of 400,000 tons per year is a significant addition to INVISTA’s nylon 6, 6 value chain. Once technology used in the plant results in significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Product Description

2-Propenenitrile, commonly known as acrylonitrile, is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH2=CHCN. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a sharp, pungent odor. 2-Propenenitrile is produced primarily through the ammoxidation of propylene, a process where propylene, ammonia, and air are reacted over a catalyst to produce 2-propenenitrile. This chemical serves as a crucial building block in the manufacture of various important polymers and co-polymers, most notably 2-propenenitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and styrene-2-propenenitrile (SAN) resins, which are used in a wide array of applications from automotive components to consumer electronics and household goods. Additionally, it is a precursor in the production of adiponitrile, which is further processed to make nylon 6,6, a highly durable synthetic fiber used across the textile and automotive industries. 2-propenenitrile's role in these sectors underscores its significance in modern manufacturing and industry.
