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. |
