Polychloroprene Production

Cost Analysis Report | CR E21A

Analysis Basis: United States | 2018 Q2 | 52 pages | Online Viewable Report Delivered in PDF Format

This report presents an up-to-date, detailed cost analysis (based on 2017/18 economic data) of Chloroprene Rubber (also known as Polychloroprene) production from butadiene and chlorine. 'The process examined is a typical vapor phase butadiene chlorination process, followed by a typical emulsion polymerization process. In this process butadiene is first chlorinated producing two chlorinated isomers, 1,4-dichloro 2-butene and 3,4-dichloro 1-butene. In a second step, 1,4-isomers are isomerized to 3,4-dichloro 1-butene. This chemical is then dehydrochlorinated in the presence of caustic soda producing chloroprene and sodium chloride. Finally, chloroprene is polymerized to form Polychloroprene.

The economic analysis provided in the report targets a United States-based plant and discloses:

All costs involved in starting a new industrial plant (capital investment):
- Cost of construction:
  - Main process units
  - Surrounding infrastructure
  - Contingency
