You are looking to analyze styrene in your samples...
Styrene is an aromatic organic compound with the chemical formula C8H8. It is recognizable by its colorless, oily, toxic and flammable appearance.
Styrene is naturally present in small quantities in certain plants and is industrially produced from petroleum.
Styrene is used in the manufacture of polymers such as…
- Polystyrene, and copolymers
- ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene)
- SAN (styrene-acrylonitrile)
- SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber)
- SBL (styrene-butadiene latex)
- UPR (unsaturated polyester resins),
- The manufacture of laminated polyester objects.
- It can be used as a solvent for some synthetic rubbers and resins.
FILAB supports you in the analysis of styrene in your polymer samples
Equipped with recent and varied analytical equipment, the FILAB analysis laboratory offers you a tailor-made service for styrene analysis:
