Chloroprene Production Cost Reports

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

Chloroprene is the common name for the organic compound 2-chlorobutanol-1, 3-diene. It does not occur naturally in the environment because of its reactivity and is industrially produced in sealed reactor systems with limited fugitive emissions.

Chloroprene appears to be a colourless, volatile, carcinogenic, chlorinated hydrocarbon that has a pungent, ethereal odour. It is less dense than water, with vapours heavier than air. The liquid has great chemical resistance, excellent ageing and ozone resistance, low glazing risk, improved wear resistance compared to natural rubber, and a higher cost than NR.  Its respective flash, boiling, and melting point is -4 °F, 59.4 °C, and −130 °C.

It has a molecular weight of 88.54 g mol−1 and a water solubility of 875 mg l−1. It is a fire hazard even when it is extremely stable, and its extended exposure can lead to liver issues, cardiovascular problems, and immune damage. It is classified as a carcinogen. It is a mutagen and carcinogen in animals as well. Concentrated chloroprene is highly reactive if not stored cold under inert gas in the presence of oxidation inhibitors and free radical scavengers.

Chloroprene is mainly used in the process of making polychloroprene, a synthetic rubber which is typically used in protective clothing such as diving suits and chemical boots. It is a monomer used to produce polymer polychloroprene, which is a synthetic rubber. In neoprene rubber (which is a synthetic rubber) manufacturing, it is employed as a chemical intermediate. Also, it is widely used in the production of a wide range of consumer goods, such as gloves, bags, footwear, adhesives, athletic gear, bandages, caulks, fabrics, and wire and cable coatings, as well as other goods used in construction, vehicles, and machinery.
