Vinylidene Chloride Copolymer from VDC, MMA & Ethyl Acrylate
Polyvinylidene Chloride Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This study presents the economics of Vinylidene Chloride Copolymer production from vinylidene chloride (VDC), ethyl acrylate, and methyl methacrylate (MMA) using an emulsion polymerization process. The economic analysis assumes a plant located in the United States.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Polyvinylidene Chloride production and related Polyvinylidene Chloride production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Polyvinylidene Chloride production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Polyvinylidene Chloride plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Polyvinylidene Chloride plant operating costs (Opex).
The Polyvinylidene Chloride 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 Polyvinylidene Chloride 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 Polyvinylidene Chloride plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.

Product
Polyvinylidene Chloride. Polyvinylidene Chloride is a thermoplastic polymer known for its excellent barrier properties, particularly in food packaging. It is polymerized from vinylidene chloride. Its low permeability to water vapor and gases extends the shelf life of packaged goods.
Raw Materials
Methyl Methacrylate. Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) is a critical monomer used in the production of acrylic plastics, coatings, and adhesives. It is known for its transparency and impact resistance, making it ideal for use in automotive, construction, and optical applications. MMA is produced via the esterification of methacrylic acid and methanol. It is stored as a liquid and is crucial to industries focused on durable, clear, and weather-resistant products.
Vinylidene Chloride. Vinylidene chloride is used as a monomer in the production of polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), which is applied in food packaging due to its excellent barrier properties. It is also used in coatings and textiles. Vinylidene chloride is produced via dehydrochlorination of 1,1,2-trichloroethane and is stored as a volatile liquid. Its role in creating durable, moisture-resistant films makes it integral to food preservation technology.
Ethyl Acrylate. Ethyl acrylate is an acrylate monomer used in producing polymers and resins for paints, adhesives, textiles, and plastics. It imparts flexibility and durability to acrylic products. Manufactured through the esterification of acrylic acid with ethanol, it is stored as a flammable liquid. Its ability to copolymerize with other monomers allows customization of material properties for specific applications.
