Polystyrene Production Cost | Q4 2024

Updated Reports Examining Polystyrene Manufacturing Costs

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

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

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

General Purpose Polystyrene Production

This report presents the economics of General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS) production from styrene in the United States, via a typical continuous bulk polymerization process, split into a pre-polymerization and a polymerization step. Both steps are conducted in continuous stirred-tank reactors.

Details: 180 kta United States-based plant   |   Q4 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue A   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 180 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 Impact Polystyrene Production

This study presents the economics of High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) production from styrene in the United States, via a typical continuous bulk polymerization process, which occurs in the presence of polybutadiene. The process is split into a pre-polymerization and a polymerization step. The first step is conducted in CSTRs and the second in plug-flow reactors.

Details: 180 kta United States-based plant   |   Q4 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue B   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 180 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.

Expandable Polystyrene Production

This study presents the economics of Expandable Polystyrene (EPS) production from styrene in the United States, via a typical batch suspension polymerization process. The tiny spheres of EPS are impregnated with a physical blowing agent.

Details: 150 kta United States-based plant   |   Q4 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue C   From $799 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.

Syndiotactic Polystyrene Production

This report analyses the economics of Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS) production from styrene in the United States, via a typical continuous bulk polymerization process. SPS can be obtained with stereospecific catalysts of the Ziegler-Natta type.

Details: 15 kta United States-based plant   |   Q4 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue D   From $799 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.

High Temperature Resistant Polystyrene Production

This report presents the economics of High Temperature Resistant Polystyrene (HTPS) production from styrene in the United States, via a typical continuous bulk polymerization process.

Details: 150 kta United States-based plant   |   Q4 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue E   From $799 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.
