Use | can be used in the production of coatings, plasticizers, and solvents This product is used as a polymer monomer, such as butyl toluene rubber and high temperature plastic. It can also be used to prepare coatings, hot melt adhesives, plasticizers and synthetic musk. In Japan, 90% of α-methylstyrene was used as a modifier for ABS resin, and the remainder was used as a solvent and a raw material for organic synthesis. organic synthesis. Polymerization of monomers. |
production method | When phenol and acetone are produced by cumene method, α-methylstyrene is by-produced, an annual output of ten thousand tons of phenol and acetone plant, about 500T alpha-methyl styrene. This product can also be obtained by dehydrogenation of cumene in the presence of a catalyst. However, in the industry, the by-produced α-methylstyrene is often converted into cumene by hydrogenation. |
