Essential Materials
KBR has been the trusted partner in delivering technology solutions for safe and efficient production of essential materials for over 50 years
Our portfolio includes technologies essential to modern life, such as downstream propylene solutions for phenol production, BPA synthesis, propylene oxide by cumene, and acetyls value chain solutions for acetic acid manufacturing and vinyl acetate monomer synthesis. KBR also offers technology for PVC processing, among others.
With KBR’s evolving innovation and operational excellence, these technologies provide promising solutions to meet evolving market demands and environmental standards. The KBR team is committed to the continuous development of our technologies to fit sustainable future needs.

KBR’s Acetyls technologies deliver high yields and low operating costs, making them a competitive solution for the growing demand in the acetyl value chain. The versatility of acetyls, such as acetic acid, supports the production of high-margin “green” derivatives, including low VOC emulsions and EVA resins for solar panels.
