2-Methyl-1,3-Butadiene Production Cost Reports

2-Methyl-1,3-Butadiene production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a 2-Methyl-1,3-Butadiene production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of 2-Methyl-1,3-Butadiene. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

2-Methyl-1,3-Butadiene, also known as isoprene, is a hydrocarbon derived during the processing of petroleum or coal tar mainly used as a chemical raw material. Alone or in combination with other unsaturated compounds, it is used for making polymeric materials. It is an unsaturated pentahydrocarbon which is present in some plants or is derived by the distillation of caoutchouc or gutta-percha.

It is a colourless and volatile liquid with the chemical formula is C5H8. It adds flavours and fragrances to essential oils and other substances derived from plants. It functions as a plant metabolite, an alkadiene, a hemiterpene and a volatile organic compound. It is a stable liquid that appears to be clear and colourless with a petroleum-like smell. Its density is of 5.7 lb/gal. Its flash and boiling points are -65 °F and 93 °F. It is less dense than water and does not dissolve in it. Consequently, its vapours are heavier than water. It has a net charge of 0, and its average and monoisotopic mass is 68.11702 and 68.06260.

The demand for 2-Methyl-1,3-Butadiene is driven by its use in producing synthetic rubber that is similar to the natural product, which has great impermeability to gases and is used in inner tubes. Furthermore, it is a key building block responsible for the biosynthesis of the common terpenes, which furthers the market growth.
