Details : Germany - based plant Q2 2026
This report entails a detailed cost evaluation of Polybutylene Terephthalate production from 1,4-Butanediol via Polycondensation. In the first step, the starting compound, 1,4-Butanediol undergoes an esterification reaction with Dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) to form bis(4-hydroxybutyl) terephthalate and methanol or with Terephthalic acid (TPA) to form bis(4-hydroxybutyl) terephthalate and water. The bis(4-hydroxybutyl) terephthalate is further subjected to condensation reaction at high temperatures (230-250°C) and under vacuum to produce long polymer chains of Polybutylene Terephthalate as the final product.
