Styrene is a colorless, oily liquid that is an important industrial chemical with a variety of major uses.
1. Styrene CAS 100-42-5 is mainly used in the production of polystyrene, a versatile plastic used in a wide range of applications including packaging materials, disposable tableware, insulation materials and toys.
2. Styrene is a key ingredient in the production of ABS, a tough, impact-resistant plastic commonly used in automotive parts, consumer electronics and household items.
3. Styrene CAS 100-42-5 is used to produce styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), which is widely used in tires and other rubber products due to its durability and wear resistance.
4. Styrene CAS 100-42-5 is used in the formulation of various coatings, paints and adhesives, providing flexibility and durability.
5. Used to produce unsaturated polyester resins, glass fibers and composites for construction, automotive and marine applications.
6. Styrene CAS 100-42-5 is a component of various chemical intermediates used in the production of other chemicals and materials.
To store styrene CAS 100-42-5 safely and effectively.
1. Store styrene in airtight containers made of materials that are compatible with organic solvents, such as glass or certain types of plastics (e.g., high-density polyethylene). Make sure the container is designed for chemical storage.
2. Please store styrene CAS 100-42-5 in a cool, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight, heat sources and open flames. Styrene should be stored in designated chemical storage areas.
3. Styrene should be stored below 30°C (86°F). Avoid exposure to high temperatures as styrene may polymerize and exotherm.
4. When not in use, ensure that the container remains tightly closed to prevent contamination and evaporation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling styrene.
5. Clearly label containers with contents, hazard warnings, and storage dates.
6. Regularly inspect storage areas and containers for signs of leaks, damage or aggregation.
7. Have appropriate spill control materials and safety equipment (e.g., fire extinguishers) available in storage areas.
