Process Styrene monomer produced by Deltech Corporation is a lower cost substitute for pure styrene monomer in certain applications where the presence of small amounts of aromatic compounds will not affect the finished product. Process Styrene can be used as the cross-linking monomer in resin products that will be utilized with compatible solvents or in applications where the residual compounds are removed during resin processing.
Process Styrene is generally stored and used in a manner similar to styrene monomer.
|
Normal precautions handling Process Styrene monomer should include wearing protective clothing, the use of impermeable gloves and use in a well ventilated area. Do not store in direct sunlight. Maintain storage temperature below 75oF if extended storage is required. Process Styrene monomer contains the polymerization inhibitor tertiary butylcatechol (TBC) to reduce polymer formation during storage.
