Acrylic Acid Production Cost Reports

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

Acrylic Acid, also known as Acroleic Acid with the chemical formula C3H4O2, is an alpha,beta-unsaturated monocarboxylic Acid where ethene is replaced by a carboxy group. The liquid chemical has the role of a metabolite, and the conjugate acid of an acrylate.

The organic compound's appearance is colourless and has a distinct tart/acrid odour. It is water-soluble. Its melting, boiling, and flash point is 141.0°C, 14.0°C and 68°C. Its molecular mass is 72.06 g/mol, and its density is 1.0511 at 20°C. By characteristics, its toxic and can lead to irritation in the eyes, skin and mucous membranes in humans. It is also extremely corrosive in nature, corroding metals and tissue.

The Acrylic Acid industry is witnessing growth due to its employment in the production of a wide range of products. It is sued for making acrylic esters and resins that find wide use in adhesives and coatings, furthering the market growth. Furthermore, it has usage in water and oil treatment chemicals, detergent intermediates, and water-absorbent polyacrylic acid polymers.

As it can lead to polymerization when heated, it is used for producing polyacrylates and as a monomer for polyacrylic and polymethacrylic acids and other acrylic polymer production. Also, its other uses furthering its market demand are its employment in the manufacture of flocculants, plastics, tackifiers, water-soluble resins and salts, among others.
