General

What is Styrene? It is a colourless, flammable organic liquid with a sweet odour, used to produce plastics like polystyrene and synthetic rubbers like styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). It is a key intermediate chemical, or monomer, for a wide range of everyday products, including food containers, packaging, pipes, and automotive parts. Styrene occurs naturally in small amounts but is primarily manufactured from benzene and ethylene for industrial use.

Consistent Quality: We source only high-quality Styrene ensuring reliable performance in any application.

Frequent Uses

Polymer Production
Styrene is the chemical building block for many polymers and resins. These include polystyrene (PS), ABS plastics, and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). 

Latex Paints and Coatings
Used in the formulation of paints and coatings. 

Construction
It contributes to the strength and durability of materials used in construction, such as flooring and impact-resistant surfaces.
