Butadiene Butylenes (2021 Program)

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the technology, economics, and markets for the processing of the C4 hydrocarbon chain, which includes butadiene, isobutylene, butenes, and butanes. Commercial and developing process technologies are discussed. Cost of production estimates have been developed to illustrate the cost competitiveness of butadiene, isobutylene, and butene-1 production in the USGC, China, Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Western Europe. A market overview of the C4 chain is provided, along with demand by end-use, capacity, and supply/demand/trade data for Global, North America, Western Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Amorphous High Temperature Engineering Thermoplastics (2021 Program)

This report discusses the technologies and economics for producing the most common high temperature amorphous thermoplastics commercially available today - polysulfone, polyethersulfone, polyetherimide, and polyphthalamides. These materials rely on complex chemistries, mainly incorporating aromatic residues in their polymeric backbones which increase their useful temperature range though often at the expense of processability.
