Styrenic monomers in plastics are versatile chemical building blocks typically appear as colorless, oily liquids. Key features include excellent clarity and chemical resistance. They are suitable for applications in packaging, automotive parts, construction materials, and consumer goods. Styrenic monomers are particularly valued for producing polystyrene, ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile), and SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber), which are widely used in various industries.
Alternatives to styrenic monomers include other types of monomers like acrylics and vinyls. Sub-types include general-purpose grade and high-purity grade.

SM by Keeneyes Industrial is Styrene (ethenyl benzene/ vinyl benzene/ phenylethane). This organic compound is derived from benzene. SM is usually a colorless oily liquid in appearance with a sweet smell. Used as a raw material in synthetic resins.
STYRENE MONOMER by SABIC is vinyl benzene. It is a colorless to yellowish oily liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in alcohols, ethers and carbon disulfide. STYRENE MONOMER has a low vapor pressure and high refractive index. It is chemically reactive and undergoes polymerization readily by heat, light or peroxide catalysts. Polymerization results in volumetric shrinkage (17%) and generation of exothermic heat (17.8 Kcal/mole). Commonly used in the production of styrene homopolymers and copolymers.
SP-59-012 by Specific Polymers is (trifluoromethane)sulfonimide sodium styrene. It is UV curable, Li/Na-based, nitrogen and sulfur-based monomer. Offers ionic conductivity. It is suitable for thermoplastic and thermoset applications. Used in battery.
