STYROL

Styrene (phenylethylene, vinyl benzene, ethylene benzene) is a colorless liquid with a specific odor. Styrene is practically insoluble in water, well soluble in organic solvents.

APPLICATION

It is used almost exclusively for the production of polymers: polystyrene, polystyrene (expanded polystyrene), styrene-modified polyesters, ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) and SAN (styrene-acrylonitrile) plastics. Also styrene is part of napalm. Polystyrene chips, dissolved in styrene, form an ideal glue for polystyrene: under the influence of heat and residues of polymerizers, the glue seam polymerizes rather quickly and completely disappears, i.e. 2 parts turn into a single monolith.
