Styrene is an important widely produced monomer within the chemical industry and it is considered as one of the major building blocks of the plastics industry. Styrene monomer is polymerized by the conventional methods applied in plastics technology to produce a wide range of polymers/copolymers.
The most important polymers produced from Styrene monomer are solid polystyrene (PS), expandable polystyrene (EPS), acrylonitrile- butadiene-styrene (ABS) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR).
