Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Styrene/Acrylonitrile (SAN) copolymer production from styrene and acrylonitrile. The process examined is a typical bulk polymerization process. In this process the continuous mass copolymerization of acrylonitrile and styrene to Styrene-Acrylonitrile Resin takes place in the presence of small quantities of ethylbenzene. The reaction product is submitted to a devolatilization step where monomers are recovered and recycled. The SAN melt passes through an extrusion and pelletizing system, is packed and stored. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Acrylonitrile Polymers, Survey and Styrene-Acrylonitile (SAN)", Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition; Keywords: SAN Resin, Styrene-Acrylonitrile Copolymer
