Research Summary

Sulfolane, also known as tetramethylene sulfone, is a clear, colorless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula C4H8O2S. It is a cyclic sulfone, meaning it contains a five-membered ring structure with a sulfur atom and two oxygen atoms. Sulfolane is primarily used as a solvent in various industrial processes, including gas purification, oil refining, chemical synthesis, and polymer processing. It is valued for its high thermal and chemical stability, as well as its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds. Sulfolane＇s solvent properties make it useful for extracting aromatics from hydrocarbon streams, removing impurities from natural gas, and purifying polymers and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, sulfolane is used in some applications as a corrosion inhibitor and as a component in lithium-ion battery electrolytes. While sulfolane is generally considered to have low toxicity, proper handling and safety precautions should be followed due to its potential environmental and health risks.

The major global  manufacturers of Sulfolane include Chevron Phillips Chemical Company(US), Sumitomo Seika Chemical(JP), New Japan Chemical(JP), CASIL Industries(IN), Liaoyang Guanghua Chemical(CN), Liaodong Fine Chemical(CN), Jinzhou Petrochemical Corporation(CN), Changle Haizhou Chemical(CN), etc. The global players competition landscape in this report is divided into three tiers.
