Polyisoprene Production Costs - Q2 2023
Polyisoprene Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Polyisoprene (a.k.a. IR, Synthetic Rubber) is a thermoplastic elastomer, and the main component of natural rubber. It is formed by polymerization of isoprene in the presence of Ziegler-Natta catalyst. Synthetic Polyisoprene and natural rubber have the same type of applications, being used mainly in tires, belts, gaskets, hoses, foam rubber, molded and mechanical goods, bottle nipples, gloves, caulking, sealants, etc.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Polyisoprene 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 (Q2 2023).
Polyisoprene Production from Isoprene
This report presents the economics of Polyisoprene production from isoprene in the United States, via a typical solution polymerization process. The Ziegler/Natta catalyst system used in the process yields predominantly cis-1,4 units.
Details: 25 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Polyisoprene E11A target a 25 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.
Polyisoprene Production from Glucose
This report presents the economics of Polyisoprene production starting from glucose, based on a plant located in the United States. The process comprehends the fermentation of 70 wt% glucose-water syrup into isoprene, followed by solution polymerization step for converting isoprene to Polyisoprene.
Details: 50 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Polyisoprene E21A 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.
Polyisoprene Production from Raw Sugar
This report presents the economics of Polyisoprene production from starting from raw sugar, based on a plant located in Germany. The process comprehends the hydrolysis of sucrose, the fermentation of the obtained invert sugars into isoprene and a typical solution polymerization process for converting isoprene to Polyisoprene.
Details: 50 kta Germany-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Polyisoprene E31B target a 50 kta (kilometric tons per annum) Germany-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
