Styrene Monomer
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 peanuts) and is also found in coal tar.
Styrene is usually produced from dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene. Also by combining toluene and methanol, and benzene and ethane, styrene can be produced. The presence of the vinyl group allows styrene to polymerize.
• 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
