    Application of Styrene

    Purity 99.5%: Styrene with purity 99.5% is used in the manufacture of polystyrene resins, where high purity ensures superior optical clarity and mechanical strength.

    Viscosity grade low: Styrene with low viscosity grade is used in unsaturated polyester resin systems, where enhanced flow characteristics improve mold filling and surface finish.

    Molecular weight 104.15 g/mol: Styrene with molecular weight 104.15 g/mol is used in the synthesis of ABS plastics, where precise molecular control provides consistent impact resistance.

    Stability temperature 60°C: Styrene with stability temperature 60°C is used in emulsion polymerization, where maintained stability prevents premature polymerization and enhances batch consistency.

    Melting point -30.6°C: Styrene with melting point of -30.6°C is applied in expandable polystyrene bead production, where low melting point enables efficient pre-expansion and molding.

    Water content <0.01%: Styrene with water content below 0.01% is used in copolymerization processes, where low moisture content reduces side reactions and improves polymer yield.

    Color APHA <10: Styrene with APHA color below 10 is utilized in food-contact packaging, where low color index ensures transparent and contaminant-free final products.

    Inhibitor content 15 ppm: Styrene with 15 ppm inhibitor content is employed in storage and transport systems, where optimal stabilization minimizes the risk of spontaneous polymerization.

    Refractive index 1.546: Styrene with refractive index of 1.546 is used in optical lens applications, where high refractive index provides superior light transmission and clarity.

    Residual benzene <1 ppm: Styrene with residual benzene below 1 ppm is used in medical device manufacturing, where ultra-low benzene levels ensure compliance with health and safety standards.

    Packing & Storage
    Packing Styrene is packaged in 200-liter blue steel drums, tightly sealed with hazard labels, ensuring safe transport and storage.
    Container Loading (20′ FCL) Container Loading (20′ FCL) for Styrene typically involves transporting approximately 80 drums (16-17 MT) in a 20-foot container, ensuring secure, leak-proof packaging.
    Shipping Styrene is shipped in bulk via tank trucks, railcars, or drums under strictly controlled conditions. It must be stored in cool, well-ventilated areas, away from heat and ignition sources. Containers are sealed and labeled as flammable and hazardous, complying with regulations for chemical transport. Proper PPE is required during handling.
    Storage Styrene should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and ignition sources. Use tightly sealed, inhibitor-added containers made of compatible materials like stainless steel or carbon steel. Avoid contact with oxidizing agents and acids. Regularly monitor inhibitor levels to prevent unwanted polymerization. Proper grounding and bonding are required to avoid static electricity hazards.
    Shelf Life The shelf life of styrene is typically 6–12 months under cool, dry, and well-ventilated storage conditions, away from sunlight.
