Methacrylic Acid
Methacrylic Acid
MAA
Methacrylic Acid (a.k.a. MAA) is an organic compound in the carboxylic acid class, a viscous, colorless liquid, with an acrid unpleasant odor. MAA can be found naturally in chamomile oil, and its industrial production began in the 1930s. Currently, it is mainly used as a precursor to its esters, most notably methyl methacrylate (MMA) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA).
The uses and applications of Methacrylic Acid may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Methacrylic Acid are pure/glacial grade (99% minimum purity); crude monomer grade (85% minimum purity); and 40% aqueous solution.

Updated Reports Examining Methacrylic Acid Manufacturing Costs

Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand Commodity Cost of Production reports analyzing the costs of Methacrylic Acid manufacturing processes. Each report describes an industrial plant based on a specific Methacrylic Acid process. The report also presents an independent analysis of the costs of Methacrylic Acid production, encompassing plant capital costs (capex) and plant operating costs (opex). All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q2 2024).

Methacrylic Acid Production from Isobutylene

This report presents the economics of Methacrylic Acid production from isobutylene via a typical two-stage, gas-phase oxidation process via methacrolein as an intermediate. The economic analysis is based on the construction of a plant in the United States.

Details: 50 kta United States-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in the report MAA E11A target a 50 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.

Methacrylic Acid Production from Isobutane

This study provides the economics of Methacrylic Acid production starting from isobutane in the United States. Isobutane is first dehydrogenated to isobutylene in a process similar to UOP Oleflex. The isobutylene is then converted to Methacrylic Acid via a typical two-step oxidation process.

Methacrylic Acid Uses. The uses and applications of Methacrylic Acid may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Methacrylic Acid are pure/glacial grade (99% minimum purity); crude monomer grade (85% minimum purity); and 40% aqueous solution.

Intratec Methodology. Intratec distilled its expertise, gained from more than a decade of supporting companies worldwide in the analysis of commodities markets and process economics, and developed a consistent report development methodology.

The methodology ensures a holistic, coherent, and consistent techno-economic evaluation, guiding the development of a report that allows readers to fully understand a specific process technology for the production of a commodity. In addition to being based on a common methodology, all Intratec reports that approach industrial processes have a common structure, i.e., indexes, tables and charts share similar standards. This ensures that Intratec’s readers know upfront what they will get and, more than that, will be able to compare technologies addressed in different reports.

Our methodology is continuously tested and proven by the many corporations involved with the commodities sector, R&D centers, EPC companies, financial institutions and government agencies that rely on our reports.
