Polybutylene Succinate Production Cost Reports
Chemicals
Polybutylene Succinate production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Polybutylene Succinate production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Polybutylene Succinate. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.
Polybutylene Succinate or PBS is a commercially available, aliphatic biodegradable, semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester which is among the most significant biodegradable polyesters synthesized through succinic acid and butanediol polycondensation. Its reaction takes place using two steps, including esterification, which takes place between the diacid and the diol, followed by polycondensation, which is done under elevated temperatures forming high-molecular-weight PBS.
PBS has excellent properties like melt processability, biodegradability, and thermal and chemical resistance. Its excellent processability makes it easy to process into melt blow in the textiles field, flat and split yarn, multifilament, and monofilament, as well as in plastics where it is used in injection-moulded products, thereby being an ideal polymer with several potential uses.
It offers great promise as a biopolymer owing to its mechanical properties that can be compared to extensively used high-density polyethylene and isotactic polypropylene. In the same way as polylactic acid (PLA), it completely decomposes into biomass, H2O and CO2, thereby being disposed of along with other organic waste. However, it has a lower melting point than PLA (115°C vs ~160°C). It is more inexpensive compared to other biopolymers (PLA, PBAT, and PHB.)
The Polybutylene Succinate market demand is mainly increasing owing to the product's wide usage as a matrix polymer or along with polylactic acid (PLA) in various applications such as hygiene products, food packaging, plant pots, mulch film, fishing nets and fishing lines.
Furthermore, its market demand is rapidly rising owing to it being known as one of the chosen biopolymers as it is environmentally benign and biodegradable. Also, new initiatives like launching catalyst systems for the production of high molecular weight PBS as well as many approaches, such as copolymerization and the preparation of composites and blends, are under testing to enhance the physical and mechanical properties of PBS.
