About Acetic Acid
Reports
Acetic Acid is a carboxylic acid found in dilute solutions in many plant and animal systems. Most of
the Acetic Acid produced worldwide goes into polymers derived from vinyl acetate, used in paints and
coatings, cellulose used to produce acetate fibers, and as solvent.
The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports comparing the economic
potential of Acetic Acid production pathways. Each report confronts the economics of producing
Acetic Acid from different feedstocks, across different locations. General information included in our
reports is presented below.

2. About our Methodology
Intratec has distilled the expertise gained from more than a decade supporting companies worldwide to devise consistent
methodologies, which ensures the development of holistic, coherent and consistent reports.
The development of a Chemical Production Pathways report starts with exhaustive research focused on existing alternatives
(pathways) for manufacturing 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 highly experienced engineers.
Subsequently, the Intratec team conducts additional bibliographical research and data gathering focused on each individual
production pathway, with the goal of identifying the key aspects of the pathway under analysis, including overall manufacturing
scheme, 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 materials
across different regions, based on trade statistics and robust cost models. Our cost models are founded on a number of established
cost estimating methods, based on mathematical and statistical processing of an extensive volume of actual cost data of well-known
industrial processes.

Chemicals Production Pathways Reports Family
Intratec's Chemical Production Pathways reports are a family of reports that present alternatives for producing a chemical or utility and
compare the economic potential of such alternatives in different world regions. In short, each report confronts the economics of
producing a chemical or utility from different feedstocks, across different locations.
