Alpha-Methylstyrene Market Trends Study with Top Countries Data to Show Impressive Growth By Industry Demands, Share, Size, Key Player Analysis and Forecast Research
Overview:
Alpha-methylstyrene (AMS) is an insoluble colorless
liquid with an aromatic odor. AMS is obtained as a by-product in the
manufacturing of cumene-phenol process. To obtain high purity AMS, it undergoes
purification by continuous distillation at reduced pressure to remove phenol,
cumene, and other impurities. It is widely used as a copolymer to synthesize
different monomers such as benzene and acrylates.
On the basis of purity, the global
alpha-methylstyrene market has been bifurcated into <99% and >99%. The
<99% segment held the largest market share in 2017 and is estimated to be
the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. This is attributed to
the increasing usage of AMS in the production of heat-resistant
acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS). Moreover, it is the basic raw material
of organic compounds used in the production of paint adhesives and pigments.
Additionally, it is used as a plastic additive.
Based on application, the global Alpha-Methylstyrene
Market has been classified into resin, plasticizers, adhesives, waxes,
coatings, chemical intermediate, finishing agents, and others. The acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
(ABS) sub-segment, under the resin segment, dominated the global market in 2017
owing to the high glass transition temperatures and high heat distortion of
AMS.
