Product Name
4-Methylstyrene (stabilized with TBC)
Description
P-methylstyrene appears as a clear colorless liquid with an aromatic odor. Usually shipped with an inhibitor such as tert-butyl catechol added May polymerize if contaminated or subjected to heat. If polymerization takes place inside a closed container, the container may rupture violently. Vapors irritate the mucous membranes. Less dense than water and insoluble in water. Hence floats on water. Used in making plastics, especially as a monomer for polyesters.;Liquid;COLOURLESS LIQUID WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.
