Styrene (CAS:100-42-5) is an organic solvent widely used in the plastic industry. It is the raw material for polystyrene and co-polymers such as styrene- acrylonitrile and styrene-divinyl benzene, styrene-butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene latexes and fibreglass resins.
Styrene Properties
Styrene (CAS: 100-42-5), with the chemical formula C8H8, is a colorless liquid with a petroleum-like odor. It is an olefinic organic compound composed of a benzene ring and a vinyl group. The molecular formula of styrene contains one aromatic ring and one non-aromatic ring, thus its molecular properties are more unique than those of other olefinic compounds.
Styrene is volatile at room temperature and miscible with many organic solvents. It has good stability and does not readily undergo polymerization. Styrene has a density of 0.91 g/cm³, a boiling point of 145℃, and a melting point of -31℃.
Styrene Monomer Uses
Styrene monomer is a vital organic chemical raw material with extensive applications. Its primary uses include:
- Plastic Manufacturing: Styrene monomer serves as a key raw material for producing polymers such as polystyrene, a plastic widely used in everyday life.
- Rubber Production: Styrene monomer serves as a raw material for synthetic rubbers, such as polybutadiene rubber and polyisoprene rubber.
- Fiber Production: Styrene monomer can also be used as a polymer raw material in fiber manufacturing.
- Coatings Production: Styrene monomer functions as an organic solvent in the production of polymer coatings.
