Nitromethane is a simple organic compound with chemical formula CH3NO2.it is a polar compound that is generally used as solvent in many industrial applications. Also, it is widely used as a chemical intermediate in manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, explosives, fibers and others. Nitromethane is a common fuel additive that is used in sport motors. It is prepared by reacting propane with nitric acid in gas phase at temperature of 350-420 C.
Increasing demand from industrial sector for cleaning agents, semiconductor processing, cleaning and degreasing is likely to boost the market growth. Additionally, the use of nitromethane as stabilizers for chlorinated solvents and as solvent for dissolving the acrylate monomer used to make adhesives shall create positive impact on market. The use of nitromethane as fuel additive in racing sport and high performance fuel application due to lower consumption of air for consumption shall boost the market growth.
However, nitromethane is highly flammable liquid which also can cause explosions leading to financial and physical damage. This is expected to hinder the market growth.
Key Market Driver -
Increasing demand from industrial sector.
