CAS NO.:100-42-5

MF:C8H8

MW:104.15

Nature:A colorless, oily liquid with an aromatic odor. Insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol and ether.

Application:It is used to produce styrene-butadiene rubber, polystyrene, and polystyrene foam; it is also used to copolymerize with other monomers to manufacture a variety of engineering plastics for different applications. For example, copolymerizing with acrylonitrile and butadiene produces ABS resin, which is widely used in various household appliances and industries; copolymerizing with acrylonitrile produces SAN, a resin that is impact-resistant and has a bright color; copolymerizing with butadiene produces SBS, a thermoplastic rubber that is widely used as a modifier for polyvinyl chloride and polypropylene, etc.
