Product Name
Styrene
Synonyms: Vinylbenzene, Phenylethene, Ethenylbenzene
Product Overview
Styrene is a clear, colorless to slightly yellow liquid with a sweet, aromatic odor. It is a highly reactive monomer used extensively in the production of plastics, resins, and elastomers. Styrene polymerizes easily and is a key building block in materials such as polystyrene, ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), and unsaturated polyester resins. It offers excellent rigidity, gloss, and processability in a wide range of end-use applications.
Applications
Polystyrene Production: Main raw material for producing rigid and foam-grade polystyrene
ABS Resins: Used in automotive, electronics, and household appliances
Unsaturated Polyester Resins: Key reactive diluent in fiberglass-reinforced plastics
Rubber & Latex: Enhances elasticity and impact resistance
Coatings & Adhesives: Used as a reactive monomer or modifier for improved performance
