Hengli styrene solvent: What is it, and what are its uses?

Mar. 17, 2023

Styrene is a molecule that's commonly used in the production of plastics and other materials. It's also a key ingredient in synthetic rubber. In this article, you will get some information about the industrial material produced by Hengli: styrene solvent.

What is styrene solvent?

Styrene solvent is a liquid that is used in the manufacturing of plastic and other materials. A benzene atom replaces an ethylene hydrogen atom to create the organic molecule styrene. Styrene is soluble in ethanol, acetone, ether, acetic acid, and other solvents but insoluble in water due to the conjugation of the vinyl group's electrons with the benzene ring. The molecular weight of 104.15, boiling point of 145.2°C, and highly reactive chemical characteristics, Polymerization, and oxidation are likely to take place when exposed to air.

Uses for styrene solvent

A crucial biological raw element for creating plastic and synthetic rubber is styrene. Ethylene oxide, the fourth olefin derivative, is only behind polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride in terms of importance. It is mostly used to make polystyrene and styrene butadiene rubber, although it can also be used to make unsaturated polyester resin, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, and styrene-acrylonitrile resin.

It's most commonly used in manufacturing plastic and rubber products, but it can also be used in other industries.

There are many uses for Hengli styrene solvent, but some of the most common include:

- Manufacturing plastic and rubber products

- Cleaning and degreasing surfaces

- Removing paint and varnish

Why Hengli's styrene solvent is a good option

Hengli styrene solvent is a good option for many industrial and manufacturing applications, as it has a variety of uses including in the production of plastics, resins, and coatings. Hengli's styrene solvent is classified as a non-polar organic solvent, which means that it does not contain any polar compounds that can cause problems during use.
