Silicone Production Costs - Q2 2023
Silicone Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Silicone is a class of polymers, in which silicon atoms are linked via oxygen atoms, each silicon atom bearing one or several organic groups (usually methyl or phenyl in industrial production). Silicon compounds are quite abundant in nature, but silicones are not found naturally. They were first synthetized in 1930, with industrial production beginning nine years later and growing rapidly in the years that followed, a result of the high demand for silicones in World War II. Currently, they have a wide variety of commercial forms and applications, ranging from automotive to pharmaceutical industries.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Silicone 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).
Silicone Surfactant Production
This report presents the economics of a process for Silicone-Polyethylene Glycol production in the United States. This silicone formulate - obtained from cyclic siloxanes (mainly octamethylcyclotetrasiloxanes), Si-H fluid (methyl hydrogen polysiloxane - MD12M), hexamethyldichlorosiloxanes (used as chain broker for molecular weight control) and allyl PEG - is commonly used as surfactant in polyurethane foam.
Details: 8 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Silicone E11A target a 8 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.
Silicone Fluid Production
This report presents the economics of Silicone Fluid production in the United States. The assessment concerns a plant producing Methyl Hydrogen Polysiloxane (MD12M) by polycondensation starting from cyclic siloxanes (octamethylcyclotetrasiloxanes), using hexamethyldichlorosiloxanes for molecular weight control.
Details: 12 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Silicone E21A target a 12 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.
Silicone Elastomers Production
This report presents the economics of a process for Silicone Elastomers production in the United States. This Silicone Elastomer formulation is based on copolymerization of cyclic siloxanes (mainly octamethylcyclotetrasiloxanes) with vinylmethylsiloxane and phenylmethylsiloxane by vulcanization, using hexamethyldichlorosiloxanes for molecular weight control.
Details: 6 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Silicone E31A target a 6 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.
