Uses and properties
Styrene, a colourless clear liquid, is used in the manufacturing
of polystyrene
(PS), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS),
styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN),
styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and latices, and unsaturated
polyester resins
(UP resins).
ABS is a tough, heat-resistant thermoplastic. It is widely used
for appliances and
telephone housings, luggage, sporting helmets, pipe fittings and
automotive parts.
SAN is mainly used in the automotive, electrical and electronics
industry, as well as
in household applications and building products.
Because of its excellent abrasion resistance, SBR is widely used
in automobile and
truck tyres.
Styrene-butadiene latex is mainly used for carpet backing and
paper coating. Other
applications include belting, flooring, wire and cable
insulation, and footwear.
Polystyrene iswidely used to make yoghurt and dessert containers
and lids.
Expanded and extruded polystyrene foams are also used in
building applications,
where the high insulation values enable buildings to be kept
warm in winter or cool
in summer with significant reductions in fuel use.
Unsaturated polyester resins are mainly used in the
construction, boat building,automotive and electrical industries.
More recent applications include their use in
large-scale wind turbines used to generate "renewable
electricity".
Issues and regulations
Regulations
Provide regulators and other official bodies with information to
enable them to
classify and where appropriate regulate the transportation,
marketing and use of
styrene
REACH implementation
Consortia have been formed through which manufacturers have
joined efforts toprepare by 30 November 2010 consistent
registration dossiers covering
and
Consortia management:
Specific issues
Support and resource studies relating to potential health
effects of styrene
Lead Responsible Care initiatives to maintain high standards of
safety in
transportation, storage and use of styrene.
