Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM)
CAS No 108-05-4Principal monomer of wood glue and waterborne paint emulsions.
Styrene Monomer
Core monomer of unsaturated polyester and polystyrene production.
Product description
In unsaturated polyester resins styrene monomer acts as both solvent and cross-linker, reacting with the resin chains during cure to form a rigid network. It is also the starting material for polystyrene, ABS and SBR rubber. It is stored inhibited, cool and dark to prevent spontaneous polymerisation.
Application areas
- Unsaturated polyester resins
- Glass fibre reinforced composites
- Polystyrene and ABS production
- SBR rubber synthesis
- Waterproofing and filler systems
Packaging and delivery
