Description

Styrene is a colorless or yellow, sweet odor liquid with a penetrating odor. It is produced during alkylation of benzene with ethylene. It is highly reactive and polymerizes rapidly with a violent explosive reaction. This demands proper handling, transportation, and storage by adding polymerization inhibitors in adequate quantities during these operations. Styrene monomer has been extensively used in the manufacture of chemical intermediates, fi lling components, plastics, styrene,styreen and s

Styrene Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Ethylbenzene is used as the raw material. In the presence of T-315 platinum catalyst mainly made of iron trioxide (or aluminum), dehydrogenation at a temperature of 550-560 ℃ produces styrene, which is purified by distillation to obtain more than 99.5% refined Styrene.

Uses

Used in the manufacturing plastics; synthetic rubber; resins; insulator.
