Enhanced Stability: Inhibited for Your Safety and Quality
Styrene Monomer is inherently reactive and prone to auto-polymerization (self-polymerization), especially when exposed to heat or light. This exothermic reaction can lead to undesirable solid polymer formation, potential blockages, and severe safety risks like thermal runaway and even explosions.
At Aure Chemical, we ensure the stability of our Styrene Monomer by incorporating a carefully selected polymerization inhibitor. This crucial additive effectively prevents premature and uncontrolled polymerization during storage and transport, safeguarding product purity and integrity. Our commitment to providing inhibited Styrene Monomer means:
Enhanced Safety: Significantly reduces the risk of hazardous reactions during handling and storage.
Maintained Purity: Ensures the product remains in its monomeric liquid form, crucial for downstream polymerization processes.
Extended Shelf Life: Allows for reliable storage and transport without product degradation or loss.
Every shipment comes with a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA), providing full transparency on product purity, inhibitor levels, and other critical parameters.
Key Applications of Styrene Monomer
Styrene Monomer is a fundamental building block for numerous polymers and resins, making it vital across diverse industries:
Polystyrene (PS) Production: The largest application, used to manufacture various forms of polystyrene, including general-purpose PS, high-impact PS, and expandable PS (EPS foam for insulation and packaging).
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) Resins: A key component in ABS, a robust thermoplastic widely used in automotive parts, consumer electronics, and appliance housings.
Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR): Essential for producing synthetic rubber used primarily in tires and other rubber products.
Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPR): Used in fiberglass reinforced plastics (FRP) for construction, marine, automotive, and other composite applications.
Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) Resins: A clear, rigid thermoplastic used in housewares, packaging, and medical applications.
Styrene-Butadiene Latex (SBL): Employed in coatings, adhesives, and paper binding.
