main raw materials for the production of styrene

The main raw materials for the production of styrene are polymerized grade ethylene and pure benzene, and the pure benzene accounts for 64% of the production cost of styrene.  The single fluctuation of styrene and its raw material pure benzene price will have a great impact on the company’s business performance.  The price of pure benzene has a great influence on the production cost of styrene.  At present, pure benzene mainly comes from oil cracking, so the price of crude oil determines the price of pure benzene.  Crude oil prices have risen in recent years, leading to high prices of pure benzene.  However, with the domestic part of the coal chemical enterprises to introduce advanced production technology of coal crude benzol refining, produce the indicators to achieve even greater than that of petroleum benzene refined benzene, coal base of pure benzene production will change a single supply situation of petroleum benzene, pure benzene prices and oil prices could lead to a certain degree of deviation, and lower the market price of the pure benzene.
