Neoprene Production Costs - Q4 2022
Neoprene Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Neoprene (a.k.a. Polychloroprene, Chloroprene Rubber) is the first synthetic rubber produced commercially by the free radical emulsion polymerization of chloroprene. It was first marketed by Dupont in 1933 under the DuPrene brand, and after significant improvements in the production process the brand was changed to Neoprene. Nowadays, it is one of the most important special rubbers produced, alongside butyl rubber, nitrile rubber (NBR) and ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM).
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Neoprene production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q4 2022).
Polychloroprene Production from Chloroprene
This report presents the economics of Chloroprene Rubber (or Polychloroprene) production from chloroprene using a typical emulsion process. The economic analysis is based on a plant constructed in the United States.
Details: 50 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2022 | 108 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report CR 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.
Polychloroprene Production from Butadiene and Chlorine
This study provides an economic analysis of Polychloroprene production starting from butadiene and chlorine, based on a plant located in the United States. In the first step, butadiene is chlorinated, generating dichlorobutenes, which are subjected to an isomerization to convert them to 3,4-dichloro-1-butene. It is then dehydrochlorinated, forming chloroprene. Finally, chloroprene is polymerized to the respective rubber.
