α-Methylstyrene (Cat No.:R044724) is an aromatic hydrocarbon featuring a vinyl group substituted with a methyl group at the alpha position relative to the phenyl ring. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sharp odor and is used primarily as a monomer or co-monomer in the production of resins, plastics, and polymers, including acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and specialty adhesives. AMS offers thermal and chemical resistance properties to the final materials. It is also used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Proper handling is essential due to its volatility and potential health hazards.
