Styrene monomer is an organic compound with the chemical formula C8H8. This derivative of benzene is a colorless oily liquid that evaporates easily and has a sweet smell. Styrene is the precursor to several polymers. Styrene occurs naturally in small quantities in some plants and foods (cinnamon, coffee beans, and
Toluene is an aromatic compound that has many applications in chemical industries. Toluene, with C7H8 chemical formula, is found a lot in coal tar and with less quantity, in crude oil. Toluene is a colorless and flammable liquid, which is soluble in alcohol, benzene and ethers, but not water. The
Vinyl chloride is a chemical intermediate, not a final product. Due to the hazardous nature of vinyl chloride to human health there are no end products that use vinyl chloride in its monomer form.
Vinylchloride monomer (VCM) is used mainly in the polymerization manufacture of polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
