Silicone Production Cost | Q2 2024

Updated Reports Examining Silicone Manufacturing Costs

Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Silicone production costs. Each Intratec Commodity Production Cost report listed below is a comprehensive study of a specific Silicone production process and related Silicone production costs, covering three key aspects:

  • A complete description of the Silicone production process examined
  • An in-depth analysis of the related Silicone plant capital cost (Capex)
  • An evaluation of the respective Silicone plant operating costs (Opex)

All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q2 2024).

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 - MD'12M), hexamethyldisiloxane (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 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue A   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 8 kta (kilo metric ton per annum 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.

High Viscosity Silicone Fluid Production

This report presents the economics of High Viscosity Silicone Fluid production in the United States. The assessment concerns a plant producing Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) by ring-opening polymerization starting from cyclic siloxanes (octamethylcyclotetrasiloxanes), using hexamethyldisiloxane for molecular weight control.

Details: 12 kta United States-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue B   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 12 kta (kilo metric ton per annum 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 hexamethyldisiloxane for molecular weight control.

Details: 6 kta United States-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue C   From $1,999 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 6 kta (kilo metric ton per annum 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.

Low Viscosity Silicone Fluid Production

This report presents the economics of Low Viscosity Silicone Fluid production in the United States. The assessment concerns a plant producing Polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) by polycondensation of linear siloxanes, using hexamethyldichlorosiloxane for molecular weight control. The linear siloxanes are produced by hydrolysis of dimethylchlorosilane. The plant also produces cyclic siloxanes and hydrogen chloride as by-products.

Details: 15 kta United States-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue D   From $1,199 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 15 kta (kilo metric ton per annum 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.

Methyl Hydrogen Silicone Fluid Production

This report presents the economics of Methyl Hydrogen Silicone Fluid Production (a.ka. SiH Silicone) in the United States. The assessment concerns a plant producing Polymethylhydrosiloxane from methyldichlorosilane and trimethylchlorosilane hydrolysis. The plant also produces hydrogen chloride as by-product.

Details: 30 kta United States-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue E   From $1,199 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 30 kta (kilo metric ton per annum 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.
