What is styrene monomer (CAS 100-42-5) in paint?

In paints and coatings, styrene monomer is primarily used in certain industrial alkyd resins and water-based latex paints.

 

Alkyd resins: Styrene is copolymerised with alkyd resins to create 'styrenated alkyds'. This significantly speeds up drying time and improves the hardness and water resistance of the coating.

 

Latex paints: The 'latex' in water-based paints is often a synthetic polymer emulsion. One common type is styrene–acrylic copolymer, which strikes a good balance between durability, water resistance and cost-effectiveness for interior and exterior paints alike.

 

styrene monomer (CAS 100-42-5) Other Uses:

  • Polystyrene (PS):
  • High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS)
  • Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) & Extruded Polystyrene (XPS):
  • Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS):
  • Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN):
  • Synthetic Rubbers:
  • Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR):
  • Styrene Butadiene Latex (SBL)
  • Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPR):
