ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Products</h6> <p><b>Isosorbide Polycarbonate</b>. Polycarbonate (a.k.a. PC) is a thermoplastic polymer/resin, derived from diphenyl carbonate, phosgene and bisphenol A. The polymer is easily molded and thermoformed, and for that, along with its properties, polycarbonates are among the most used plastics in industry. Polycarbonate has a high impact and dielectric strength, heat resistance, it is noncorrosive and extremely dimensionally stable. Depending on the grade, the resulting material is translucent, so PC has been used as a substitute to glass, although it is not its primary use, due to PC being more expensive than polymethyl methacrylate (acrylic). The main uses of PC are in the construction industry and as engineering materials. Because of their unusual properties (e.g. toughness, clarity), Polycarbonates figure among the top engineering thermoplastics.</p> <p><b>Ethylene Glycol</b>. Ethylene glycol, also known as monoethylene glycol or MEG, is the simplest diol, with chemical formula C2H6O2. Like other glycols, ethylene glycol undergoes reactions common to monohydric alcohols forming esters, acetals, ethers, and similar products. Most of monoethylene glycol has been produced from ethylene via ethylene oxide intermediate, generating di- and tri-ethylene glycol as well. Commercially, ethylene glycol is available in three grades: fiber grade, with min. 99.8% of purity; industrial grade with min. 99.5% of purity and antifreeze grade with min. 98% of purity.</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Glucose Syrup</b>. Glucose (C6H12O6), also known as D-glucose and dextrose, is the most abundant sugar in nature. Commercial glucose products are available in both dry and syrup forms in a variety of purities and concentrations. Glucose uses include pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals and fuels. This compound is used as raw material in fermentative processes for the production of vitamins, organic acids, antibiotics, amino acids, enzymes, and polysaccharides.</p> <b>Ethylene Oxide</b>. Ethylene Oxide (also known as Oxirane and Epoxyethane) is the simplest cyclic ether. Very reactive, Ethylene Oxide is one of the most versatile chemical intermediates, converted in a range of products, and also used as disinfectant, sterilizing agent, and fumigant. Currently, Ethylene Oxide is produced primarily by direct oxidation processes, based on the catalytic oxidation of ethylene with oxygen over a silver-based catalyst.</p>

ICC - Short Description: This report examines the costs related to Isosorbide Polycarbonate production from glucose and ethylene oxide in the USA, using a melt polymerization process similar of isosorbide and diphenyl carbonate (DPC) to the one proposed by Mitsubishi Chemical. Isosorbide is produced from glucose and DPC from ethylene oxide. Ethylene glycol is generated as a by-product.
