How to calculate the production cost of EPE sheet?

1.The raw materials required for the production of EPE foam sheets is LDPE——-high-pressure low-density polyethylene resin (such as: TN26, 2426H, LD100AC, Russia 15803, Iran's TX00, 0190, etc. Generally speaking, as long as it is LDPE material and the melt index is 1.8 ~2.8, then it can be used), monoglycerides, talcum powder, butane gas. 

2.Their current prices are:

LDPE low-density polyethylene resin (2102 TN26 produced by Qilu Petrochemical) $1377/ton

Monoglyceride (produced in Guangzhou) $1350/ton

Talcum powder (1250 mesh): $450/ton

Butane gas: $1180/ton


2. The amount of ingredients used for making EPE sheets:

LDPE pellets: 1000kg

Monoglycerides(GMS): 12 kg

Talc powder: 2.6 kg

Butane gas: 180 kg


3. Electricity consumption: 

The actual consumption of electricity is about 4200 kwh in 24 hours, and the average output of EPE foam sheet is about 15 tons, so the power consumption per ton is about 280 kwh, The price of electricity is $0.1/kwh, and the electricity cost is: $0.1x280=$28. 


4. Worker salary:

Every working day is divided into two shifts, with 5 people in each shift, and the daily salary per person is $30 (12 hours), and the daily EPE output is about 15 tons, so the salary for each ton of EPE is about $8.


5. Total cost of one ton of EPE foam sheet: 

LDPE (low-density polyethylene) resin : $1377 * 1 ton =$1377

Monoglyceride(GMS): $1350 x0.012 tons = $16.2

Talc powder: $450x 0.0026 tons = $1.17

Butane gas: $1180 x 0.180 tons = $212.4

Electricity: $28

Worker's salary: $10

Total: $1644.77
