Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS) Production Cost Breakup By Polymerization Reaction

Details: Germany - based plant Q2 2024  | From $ USD

This report proffers the thorough economics of styrene butadiene styrene production by polymerization reaction. The production of SBS begins by polymerizing butadiene with styrene in the presence of a catalyst. In this reaction, butadiene is reacted with styrene in a hydrocarbon solution (such as acetone) in the presence of an organolithium catalyst (such as phenyl lithium, s-butyllithium, etc.). The reaction leads to the polymerization of styrene with butadiene, forming styrene butadiene styrene or SBS polymer as the final product.

Feedstock for Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS)

Styrene butadiene styrene is a styrene-based polymer variety, produced by using styrene and butadiene as its chief raw materials. The procurement of styrene butadiene styrene is mainly influenced by various factors related to its complex market dynamics, including the availability of its feedstock (including ethylbenzene and naphtha, etc., for butadiene and styrene preparation), along with the shifts in production cost and logistics, etc. Moreover, other significant aspects, including the variations in its market prices, trade, transportation activities, stability in the supply chain, and the demand observed in the rubber, polymer, and resin industries, along with the socioeconomic conditions and governmental policies, also have a major effect on its procurement worldwide.
