Styrenics are a family of plastics derived from styrene, a monomer derived from petroleum. Styrenics are used in a wide range of applications, from packaging and consumer goods to automotive and construction materials. They are lightweight, durable, and cost-effective, making them a popular choice for many industries. Styrenics are also highly versatile, allowing for a variety of shapes and sizes to be produced. Styrenics are divided into two main categories: styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS). SAN is a transparent, rigid plastic used in food packaging, medical equipment, and consumer electronics. ABS is a strong, impact-resistant plastic used in automotive parts, appliances, and toys. Styrenics are a major component of the global plastics market, with demand continuing to grow. Companies in the styrenics market include BASF, Dow Chemical, SABIC, and LyondellBasell.
