Vinylbenzene Production Cost Reports

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

The report also provides detailed insights into project economics including capital investments, project funding, operating expenses, income and expenditure projections, fixed costs vs variable costs, direct and indirect costs, expected ROI and NPV, profit and loss account, financial analysis, etc.

Vinylbenzene, commonly known as styrene, cinnamene, and phenylethylene, is a synthetic chemical. It is a monomer that is widely used in the production of synthetic rubber, plastics, and paints. Dehydrogenation is the primary process though which vinylbenzene is created. Fresh and recycled ethylbenzene is combined with steam in a heat exchanger and heated to the necessary temperature. The mixture subsequently produces hot effluent, which greatly contributes to preheating the ethylbenzene-steam mixture. The condensed reactor's condensate, vent gas, and crude styrene are then separated. Lastly, crude styrene is processed to make vinylbenzene using a distillation unit.

At room temperature, vinylbenzene is a colorless to yellowish liquid. The molecular weight of vinylbenzene is 104.15 g/mol and its melting point is -31.5 °C. The boiling point of vinylbenzene is 145 °C and its density is 0.91 g/cm³ at 20 °C. It is slightly soluble in water but highly soluble in many organic solvents, such as ethanol, benzene, and toluene. The vapor pressure of vinylbenzene is 6.0 mmHg at 20°C

Vinylbenzene is an important feedstock in the production of polystyrene, a flexible thermoplastic polymer used in a variety of applications such as packaging, disposable cups, and insulation materials. The increased need for polystyrene in this industry is fuelling the demand for vinylbenzene. It is also used to make ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) and SAN (styrene-acrylonitrile), which are utilised in the automotive and construction sectors for a variety of applications such as dashboards, bumpers, and pipes. Vinylbenzene demand is being driven by the increased need for these industries.
