Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) polymer. The process examined is a typical ABS mass polymerization process. In this process, butadiene rubber is fround in a mill and dissolved in acrylonitrile and styrene. After a two-step copolymerization in the presence of a solvent, the resin formed is passed through a devolatilization step for monomers recovery and recycle. The ABS resin and then extruded and baged. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Polystyrene and Styrene Copolymers", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: SABIC IP, Eni, Versalis, Styron, Thermoplastics
