Polycarbonate Production Cost | Q4 2024

Updated Reports Examining Polycarbonate Manufacturing Costs

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

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

All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q4 2024).

Polycarbonate Production from BPA and Phosgene

This report presents the economics of Polycarbonate (PC) production from bisphenol A (BPA) and phosgene in the United States, via a typical interfacial process. In this process, BPA, dissolved in a caustic soda solution, is reacted with phosgene, in an organic solution, at the interface of the two phases. The carbonate oligomers produced are then polycondensed to Polycarbonate.

Details: 200 kta United States-based plant   |   Q4 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue A   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 200 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.

Polycarbonate Production from BPA and DPC

This study presents the economics of Polycarbonate (PC) production from bisphenol A (BPA) and diphenyl carbonate (DPC) in the United States, via a typical melt process. In this process, DPC is transesterified with BPA to form PC and phenol as by-product. The reaction is conducted in oligomerization and polymerization.

Details: 200 kta United States-based plant   |   Q4 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue B   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 200 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.

Isosorbide Polycarbonate Production

This report examines the costs related to Isosorbide Polycarbonate production from glucose and ethylene oxide in the USA, using a melt polymerization process similar of isosorbide and diphenyl carbonate (DPC) to the one proposed by Mitsubishi Chemical. Isosorbide is produced from glucose and DPC from ethylene oxide. Ethylene glycol is generated as a by-product.

Details: 150 kta United States-based plant   |   Q4 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue C   From $1,499 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 150 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.

Polycarbonate Production from BPA and Ethylene Oxide

It presents the economics of Polycarbonate (PC) production from bisphenol A (BPA) and ethylene oxide in the United States, via a typical melt polymerization of BPA with diphenyl carbonate (DPC) via transesterification. The BPC is generated by oxidative carbonylation of phenol with ethylene oxide. Ethylene glycol is generated as a by-product.

Details: 150 kta United States-based plant   |   Q4 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue D   From $1,199 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 150 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.

Polycarbonate Production from Phenol & Acetone

This report analyses the economics of Polycarbonate (PC) production from phenol, acetone and phosgene in the United States. Initially, BPA is manufactured by condensation of phenol with acetone. Then, BPA is reacted with phosgene at the interface of a two-phase mixture. The carbonate oligomers produced are then polycondensed to Polycarbonate resin.

Details: 250 kta United States-based plant   |   Q4 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue E   From $1,199 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 250 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.

Polycarbonate Production from Phenol, Acetone and Methanol

This report presents the economics of Polycarbonate (PC) production from phenol, acetone, and methanol in the United States. BPA is manufactured by condensation of phenol with acetone. To form diphenyl carbonate (DPC), methanol is carbonylated producing dialkyl carbonate which is reacted with phenol. The DPC and BPA are transesterified and polycondensed to generate PC.

Details: 150 kta United States-based plant   |   Q4 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue F   From $1,499 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 150 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.

Polycarbonate Production from BPA, Phenol and Methanol

It presents the economics of Polycarbonate (PC) production from bisphenol A (BPA), phenol and methanol in the United States. Initially, methanol is carbonylated with carbon monoxide, producing dialkyl carbonate which are reacted with phenol to form diphenyl carbonate. It is then transesterified with BPA and polycondensed to generate PC.

Details: 150 kta United States-based plant   |   Q4 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue G   From $1,199 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 150 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.

Polycarbonate Production from BPA, Phenol and Phosgene

It presents the economics of Polycarbonate (PC) production from bisphenol A (BPA), phenol and phosgene in the United States, via a typical melt process integrated with a diphenyl carbonate (DPC) production unit. Initially, phenol is phosgenated to produce DPC. Then, the DPC is transesterified with BPA and polycondensed to generate PC.
