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 emulsion polymerization process. In this process, butadiene is first polymerized in the presence of water, forming a latex. The polybutadiene latex is submitted to a grafting reaction with styrene and acrylonitrile monomers. The graft latex is mixed with a SAN Latex produced separately. Final ABS product is then isolated from latex, dried, extruded and bagged. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Polystyrene and Styrene Copolymers", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: SAN Resin, Thermoplastics
