What is Pyridine
Pyridine is a chemical compound with the formula C5H5N. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, unpleasant odour. Pyridine is highly flammable and is toxic if ingested or inhaled. It is used as an intermediate in the production of a range of chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, dyes, and pesticides. It is also used as a solvent for various materials, including resins, waxes, and rubber, and as a solvent in the production of paints and coatings. Pyridine is also used in the production of a range of compounds that have a pyridine ring, such as pyridine derivatives and pyridine-based compounds. In addition to its use in the chemical industry, pyridine has also been used in the past as a denaturant for ethanol and as a flavouring agent in the food industry. However, it has largely been replaced by safer alternatives in these applications. Pyridine should be handled with caution, as it can be harmful if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin.
How is Pyridine produced
Pyridine is produced through a chemical reaction between acetaldehyde and ammonia, which produces a mixture of pyridine and other products. The mixture is then separated and purified through distillation to produce a finished pyridine product. The exact process may vary depending on the specific manufacturer and the desired characteristics of the final product.
In addition to the production of pyridine through the reaction of acetaldehyde and ammonia, it can also be produced through the reduction of picoline or the reaction of nicotinic acid with ammonia. These methods are less common than the production of pyridine through the reaction of acetaldehyde and ammonia. Pyridine is a key intermediate in the production of a range of chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, dyes, and pesticides. It is also used as a solvent for various materials, including resins, waxes, and rubber, and as a solvent in the production of paints and coatings. It is also used in the production of a range of compounds that have a pyridine ring, such as pyridine derivatives and pyridine-based compounds.

How big is the Pyridine market
It is difficult to accurately estimate the size of the pyridine market, as it is a chemical intermediate that is used in the production of a range of chemicals and products, and data on its production and consumption is not widely available. Pyridine is a key intermediate in the production of a range of chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, dyes, and pesticides. It is also used as a solvent for various materials, including resins, waxes, and rubber, and as a solvent in the production of paints and coatings. It is likely that the market for pyridine is influenced by the demand for these end products, as well as by the availability and price of raw materials and other factors.

Where does the data come from?
- The source of the data are exclusively public non-confidential sources
- This the index trend of the price trend of the "product category" in general, and not a single specification of the product in particular
- The data is a combination of contract and spot pricing
- Our algorithms are set up to eliminate significant product mix impact on the reported price
- We combine public publications, import/export records, trading prices, company announcements, magazine articles, tweets, and other sources of ad-hoc public information.
- The chart shows the our best approximation of the market trend based on our algorithm interpretation of the signals
- For most indexes we have multiple sources and we focus on using statistically-correlated sources
- We will update the data trend as more information becomes available, and this means that recent trends will always be adjusted as we get more data available
- We will constantly revise our understanding of market trends, and indicated market trends may change
- The data is presented in US$. The UOM of measure is shown in the Index list table
- We do our best to create an accurate representation of the trend
Where does the data NOT come from?
- We do not purchase data from any other source and republish it.
- We will not purchase data from any other source and republish it
- We do not extrapolate trends, even for the forecast. We look for other market signals and leading indicators
What does the quality indication in the main menu mean?
- Quality level A: Data is from a reliable and confirmed source
- Quality level B: Data is from multiple credible sources and there are no major statistical inconsistencies between them
- Quality level C: Data is from multiple credible sources and there are some statistical inconsistencies between them
- Quality level D: Data is from a single credible source, but we cannot verify the data
- Quality level E: Data is either:
- From a single source, which we consider reliable, but we cannot verify the data.
- From 2 or more sources which have some periods of contradicting trends.
- Quality level F: Data is from a single source which we consider indicatively correct, but the data is anecdotal and we cannot verify the data.
What does the data intend to show?
- The price trend we show is intended to represent the locally manufactured prices, or local FOB prices.
- It is possible that product is imported in from other countries at a lower, or higher, price than shown.
- For example:
- The USA price for TiO2 is US$3,000/MT
- The China price for TiO2 is US$2,100/MT
- If a USA company buys TiO2 from China, their CIF price may be US$2,350/MT
- Our reporting is intended to show the US$3,000/MT, and the the US$2,100/MT but not the US$2,350/MT
What data should our company use?
- If you are making decisions driving significant share of profit, we always recommend that you buy data from the companies who invest in direct market access such as ICIS, amongst many others
