Styrene Monomers

Based on 14 products - Last update on the Jun 26, 2025

Styrene monomers appear as a clear, colorless liquid with a mild aromatic odor. Key features include outstanding strength, rigidity, and dimensional stability, making them highly suitable for coatings that demand durability and resistance to environmental stress. Their ability to enhance adhesion and mechanical properties supports applications in protective and decorative coatings. 

Regulatory trends increasingly emphasize low-residual styrene content for improved safety and reduced emissions. Styrene monomers serve as the backbone for various resin types, including solvent-based and water-based styrenic resins, enabling broad formulation flexibility in coatings.

Deltech Monomers para-Methylstyrene (PMS)

by Deltech

Deltech Monomers para-Methylstyrene (PMS) by Deltech is a monomer used as a replacement for vinyltoluene and styrene monomers. It shares similar chemical properties and polymerization behavior with both vinyltoluene and styrene. It exhibits lower vapor pressure at any temperature and a higher flashpoint when used as a partial or complete replacement for styrene monomer in unsaturated polyester resin applications.<br> <ul style="padding-left: 40px;"><li>Direct substitution of PMS monomer for vinyltoluene can be made with minimal reformulation to obtain equal or improved performance when used in specialty coatings.</li> <li>It shows faster molding cycles and thermal stability.</li> <li>It is used in coatings industry.</li> <li>Deltech Monomers para-Methylstyrene (PMS) complies with REACH and TSCA.</li></ul>

MTPS

by Gelest (Mitsubishi Chemical)

Methacrylate-terminated polystyrene usually supplied in cyclohexane solution. It is a low-molecular weight macromolecular monomer with a single methacrylate ester end-group. Can be readily co-polymerized with many other monomers. Soluble in a wide range of monomers and organic solvents. Increases shear strength without affecting peel strength and improves toughness while maintaining the thermoplastic nature of the end polymer. Final resin properties are similar to those of polystyrene.
