About Styrene
Styrene is a volatile organic chemical primarily used in manufacturing polystyrene plastics, fiberglass-reinforced composites, and synthetic rubber. It serves as a key intermediate in construction materials, automotive components, and packaging applications. Internationally traded styrene is available in technical grade (95-99% purity) and high-purity grades exceeding 99.5%, meeting specifications from ASTM D2592 or equivalent standards. Major production and export regions include East Asia (South Korea, China, Taiwan), the Middle East, and Western Europe, with significant capacity in the United States. Buyers should monitor inhibitor levels—typically hydroquinone monomethyl ether (MEHQ) is added to prevent polymerization during storage and transport, requiring verification of inhibitor concentration and residual peroxide content for quality assurance.
