This report introduces alternatives for methyl methacrylate (MMA) production and compares their economic potential – capital and production costs – in different world regions. Know more at: www.intratec.us/products/mma-processes-comparisonTRANSCRIPT
Production PathwaysAbout Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)
Reports
Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) main application is as a monomer for the Poly(methyl methacrylate),which provides tough plastics used in glazing, signs, displays, and lightning panels.
The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports comparing the economicpotential of MMA production pathways. Each report confronts the economics of producing MMA fromdifferent feedstocks, across different locations. General information included in our reports ispresented below.

About our Methodology
Intratec has distilled the expertise gained from more than a decade supporting companies worldwide to devise consistentmethodologies, which ensures the development of holistic, coherent and consistent reports.
The development of a Production Pathways report starts with exhaustive research focused on existing alternatives (pathways) formanufacturing a given chemical, related to different raw materials and/or products generated. This encompasses patents,encyclopedias, text books, technical papers and non-confidential information disclosed by licensors, duly reviewed by Intratec's highlyexperienced engineers.
Subsequently, the Intratec team conducts additional bibliographical research and data gathering focused on each individualproduction pathway, with the goal of identifying the key aspects of the pathway under analysis, including overall manufacturingscheme, raw material(s) required and product(s) generated, related industrial processes and technology licensors.
To compare the economic aspects of the pathways, Intratec engineers use average transaction prices of products and raw materialsacross different regions, based on trade statistics and robust cost models. Our cost models are founded on a number of establishedcost estimating methods, based on mathematical and statistical processing of an extensive volume of actual cost data of well-knownindustrial processes.
