Used in the manufacture of rubbers, plastics, and polymers.
a) Production of: expandable polystyrene (EPS);
b) Production of polystyrene (HIPS) and GPPS;
c) Production of styrenic co-polymers;
d) Production of unsaturated polyester resins;
e) Production of styrene-butadiene rubber;
f) Production of styrene-butadiene latex;
g) Production of styrene isoprene co-polymers;
h) Production of styrene based polymeric dispersions;
i) Production of filled polyols. Styrene is mainly used as a monomer for the manufacture of polymers (such as polystyrene, or certain rubber and latex)
