butadiene

Versalis, Eni's chemicals subsidiary leader in the production of elastomers, together with Genomatica (a leading developer of process technology for renewable chemicals), and Novamont (a leader in biodegradable plastics and pioneer in third generation integrated biorefineries) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a strategic partnership to enable production of butadiene from renewable feedstocks.

In addition to the analytical part, the report provides a range of tables and figures which all together give a true insight into the national, regional and global markets for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.

Butadiene industry market dynamics in Italy from 2000 to 2016 consisting of market size, demand and production outlook, demand by end use sector, and average prices

The easing of the butadiene market situation was not all due to the supply side; the sharp economic slowdowns around the world have also caused a cut back in demand for upstream products of butadiene.

There is a modest upside to the performance of the Hungarian petrochemicals sector in 2016, with the addition of new 130,000tpa butadiene capacity in Q415 and a supportive economic environment, although growth will moderate.

However SBS has degradation issues at high temperatures and the butadiene content makes it prone to oxidation and weathering, without appropriate antioxidants.

The butadiene will be extracted from crude C4, a product from the steam cracker.

produce 9,000- 10,000 tons of acetylene rubber and 25,000-26,000 tons of butadiene rubber a year.

11 April 2013 - Italian chemical company Versalis SpA and US sector player Genomatica Inc said today they had agreed to form a joint venture to develop a process for the production of butadiene from non-food biomass.

7 -- A new report from petrochemical experts GBI Research states that hunger for synthetic rubbers (polybutadiene and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)) has been damaged due to falling car manufacturing levels, but, as Asian economies such as China and India regain momentum, the need for synthetic rubber will return.

Decreasing supplies and a lack of dedicated butadiene production facilities have resulted in significant long-term pressure on the price and volatility of this essential rubber ingredient for HIPS and ABS.

The collaboration will initially focus on the production of butadiene in a two-step process from Lanza-Tech CO-derived 2,3-butanediol (2,3 BDO).

Styron says that its "broad plastics offering includes polystyrene, copolymers acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), polycarbonate, expandable polystyrene (EPS) and compounds and blends as well as automotive plastics.

SABIC has begun a pounds 12m planned overhaul of its Butadiene 3 plant this weekend, guaranteeing up to 20 years production for one of the smaller lines linked to the Wilton cracker.
