CEH: Acrylonitrile

Sep 2021. Acrylonitrile (ACN) is a commodity petrochemical produced primarily from propylene and ammonia. It is used in the production of a wide range of chemical products (mainly ABS/SAN resins, acrylic fibers, acrylamide, nitrile rubber, adiponitrile, and carbon fibers). The ACN demand pattern is relatively complex because of the diversity of its end uses; however, ACN demand is mostly dependent on the state of the economy. Acrylic fibers, historically the foremost ACN outlet, have gradually lost momentum as a result of competition from low-cost polyester fibers. In the meantime, other applications such as ABS resin or acrylamide have gained significant traction, especially within emerging markets. ABS resins now constitute the largest ACN outlet.
