Is the production cost of PBTCA higher than that of traditional phosphates?
The production cost of PBTCA is generally higher than traditional phosphates (e.g., sodium tripolyphosphate, STPP), but its superior performance and regulatory advantages often justify the premium. Here’s a detailed breakdown: 1. Cost Comparison Chemical Approx. Production Cost (USD/kg) Key Cost Drivers PBTCA $1.50–$3.00 – Specialty synthesis (phosphonation + carboxylation) – Higher-purity raw materials (e.g., acrylic acid, phosphorous acid) STPP…
