Polystyrene Resin Making Plant

Abstract

The family of styrene resins generally breaks down into polymer styrene and copolymers AS and ABS. All these are thermoplastic resins manufactured with styrene, one of the petrochemicals, as main feedstock. Such styrene resins were initially discovered in 1836 but was not until 1925 that the commercial production was started. With the development of injection molding and other processing machines. the styrene resins are now one of the most widely used plastic raw materials together with polyvinylchloride, polyethylene and polypropylene.
