Styrene (also known as vinylbenzene, ethenylbenzene,
cinnamene, or phenylethylene
& other terms) is a colourless,
oily, toxic, flammable liquid at room temperature and pressure.
Styrene is used to make many plastics such as polystyrene,
ABS, styrene-butadiene (SBS) rubber,
styrene-butadiene latex, SIS (styrene-isoprene-styrene), and unsaturated
polyesters. It sometimes also contains other chemicals that
result in a sharp, unpleasant smell. Apart from
its presence in cigarettes, styrene is also
found in insulation material.
Styrene is classified as a possible
human carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and
by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Styrene
is primarily a synthetic chemical that is used extensively in the
manufacture of plastics, rubber, and resins. |
