Determination of residual styrene monomer in polystyrene

21CFR177.1640 - Polystyrene (PS) - Determination of Residual Styrene Monomer

Determination of residual styrene monomer in polystyrene

The fact that monomers are toxic and cause premature or accelerated polymer degradation in their presence requires detection of the presence of monomers in polymer systems. Styrene monomer is chemically reactive, soluble in alcohol and ether, monomer with a specific aromatic odor.

Styrene is produced from oil and natural gas. Styrene-based polymers are used in many industries:
• White goods and electronics manufacturing
• Automotive components manufacturing
• Flooring manufacturing
• Insulation manufacturing
• Medical devices manufacturing
• Packaging production
• Production of paper coatings
• Production of toys
• Production of consumer goods and tires

Styrene-based polymers are also used in packaging production and are used in food contact It is analyzed in many types of packaging, especially in packaging.
