Styrene Monomer

Styrene (vinyl benzene, styrene monomer SM) is a colorless to yellowish oily liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in alcohols, ethers and carbon disulfide. This valuable monomer is flammable, reactive and toxic. Styrene Monomer is a light liquid. It has a low vapor pressure and high refractive index. It is chemically reactive and undergoes polymerization readily (by heat, light or peroxide catalysts). Polymerization results in volumetric shrinkage (17%) and exothermic heat (17.8 Kcal/mole).

• Producing different polymers – Several kinds of polymers, including poly styrene, Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and styrene-acrylonitrile resin (SAN).
• As feed for styrene , rubber , resins , adhesives , solvent , textile , ABS , SBR , SAN
• For export

Styrene (also known as STY, styrene monomer, vinyl benzene, phenylethylene, styrol, styrole, styrolene, cinnamene, styron, and cinnamol) is a clear, colourless to yellow, oily liquid with a sweet smell. It has the formula C8H8 and it evaporates easily and is also flammable. Styrene is an essential component in the making of 1000′s of everyday products as it provides strength and flexibility whilst also being lightweight.
