What are the material properties of styrene (CAS:100-42-5)?

Styrene (CAS:100-42-5) Chemical Properties

Styrene (CAS:100-42-5) is a colorless liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. Its density is 0.909 g/cm³, melting point is -30.6℃, and boiling point is 145.3℃. Styrene is readily soluble in organic solvents such as benzene, ethanol, and chloroform, but not readily soluble in water.

Styrene (CAS:100-42-5) Uses

Styrene's most important use is as a monomer for synthetic rubber and plastics, used in the production of various important chemical products. Its specific uses are as follows:

Monomer for Synthetic Rubber and Plastics

Styrene is an important raw material for the production of styrene-butadiene rubber, polystyrene, and polystyrene foam. In addition, styrene is used in copolymerization with other monomers to manufacture various engineering plastics for different applications. For example: ABS resin, produced by copolymerizing ABS with acrylonitrile and butadiene, is widely used in various household appliances and industrial applications; SAN, produced by copolymerizing ABS with acrylonitrile, is an impact-resistant resin with a glossy finish; SBS, produced by copolymerizing SBS with butadiene, is a thermoplastic rubber widely used as a modifier for polyvinyl chloride and polypropylene.

Packaging Materials

Styrene can be used to produce various packaging materials, such as cling film and foam plastics, which have good heat insulation, sound insulation, moisture resistance, and vibration damping properties.

Furniture and Electronics

Styrene material can be used to make furniture such as drawers, cabinets, and chairs; it can also be used to make electronic product casings, panels, and keyboards.

Automotive Parts

Styrene material can be used to make automotive parts such as dashboards and door trim panels.

Building Materials

Styrene can be used to produce building insulation materials, thermal insulation materials, and sound insulation materials.
