Product Application of Alpha-Methylstyrene CAS #98-83-9
Alpha-Methylstyrene (CAS #98-83-9), also known as α-methylstyrene, serves as a key chemical feedstock with broad industrial uses. In polymer production, it can copolymerize with diverse monomers to manufacture ABS resin, styrene-butadiene rubber, and other materials, improving hardness, heat resistance, and impact resistance. In the coating sector, its polymers act as coating film formers, boosting chemical resistance and wear resistance of finished coatings.
