Acrylic Staple Fiber (ASF) Production Cost Breakup By Polymerization Method

Details: Germany - based plant Q1 2024  | From $ USD

This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of acrylic staple (ASF) fibre production by the polymerization method. The production of acrylic staple fibre is a complex process consisting of multiple steps. The process begins with the polymerization of acrylonitrile, which is used as the primary monomer in the production process. Acrylonitrile is combined with some other monomers (such as methyl acrylate, vinyl acetate, itaconic acid, etc.) that improve the quality of the polymer produced. The process of polymerization is followed by multiple steps, including filtration, spinning, drawing, crimping, and finally, cutting. The process results in the production of acrylic staple fibre (ASF) or acrylic fibre as the final product.

Top Producers of Acrylic Staple Fibre (ASF)

  • Aksa Akrilik Kimya Sanayii A.
  • Aditya Birla Group 
  • Dralom
  • Jilin Qifeng Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd.
  • Taekwang Industrial

Feedstocks For Acrylic Staple Fiber

Acrylic staple fibre (ASF) or acrylic fibre is a complex polymer variety obtained by polymerizing different monomers. It uses acrylonitrile as its chief feedstock combined with other monomers, including methyl or ethyl acrylate, vinyl acetate, etc., that also serve as the raw materials for the production of ASF. The procurement of acrylic staple fibre is impacted by any shifts in the market dynamics of its upstream industries. Moreover, factors such as environmental concerns, government policies, logistics, stability in the supply chain, and market price in the global market play a major role in determining the procurement for ASF on a large scale.
