Chemicals Production Pathways

About Styrene

Reports

Styrene is the simplest and the most important member of a series of aromatic monomers. It is used

almost entirely for the manufacture of polymers, mostly polystyrene, followed by copolymers, such as

acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)/styrene-acrylonitrile resin (SAN) and styrene butadiene rubber

(SBR).

The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports comparing the economic

potential of Styrene production pathways. Each report confronts the economics of producing Styrene

from different feedstocks, across different locations. General information included in our reports is

presented below.

About our Methodology

Intratec has distilled the expertise gained from more than a decade supporting companies worldwide to devise consistent

methodologies, which ensures the development of holistic, coherent and consistent reports.

The development of a Chemical Production Pathways report starts with exhaustive research focused on existing alternatives

(pathways) for manufacturing a given chemical, related to different raw materials and/or products generated. This encompasses

patents, encyclopedias, text books, technical papers and non-confidential information disclosed by licensors, duly reviewed by

Intratec's highly experienced engineers.

Subsequently, the Intratec team conducts additional bibliographical research and data gathering focused on each individual

production pathway, with the goal of identifying the key aspects of the pathway under analysis, including overall manufacturing

scheme, raw material(s) required and product(s) generated, related industrial processes and technology licensors.

To compare the economic aspects of the pathways, Intratec engineers use average transaction prices of products and raw materials

across different regions, based on trade statistics and robust cost models. Our cost models are founded on a number of established

cost estimating methods, based on mathematical and statistical processing of an extensive volume of actual cost data of well-known

industrial processes.

Chemicals Production Pathways Reports Family

Intratec's Chemical Production Pathways reports are a family of reports that present alternatives for producing a chemical or utility and

compare the economic potential of such alternatives in different world regions. In short, each report confronts the economics of

producing a chemical or utility from different feedstocks, across different locations.

See below the list of products whose pathways are covered in our production pathways reports*. For a complete and updated list, visit
