Report Abstract
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.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Polyisoprene production and related Polyisoprene production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Polyisoprene production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Polyisoprene plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Polyisoprene plant operating costs (Opex).
The Polyisoprene production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Polyisoprene plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Polyisoprene plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
Process Overview
Product
Polyisoprene. 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.
Raw Material
Isoprene. Isoprene is a volatile liquid hydrocarbon used in the production of synthetic rubber, especially for tires and other automotive components. It provides elasticity and durability to rubber materials. Isoprene is produced through the thermal cracking of petroleum or as a byproduct of naphtha refining. It is stored as a liquid and remains essential to industries requiring high-performance synthetic rubber.
