Alphamethylstyrene: Introduction
- Alphamethylstyrene, also known as isopropenyl benzene, is an organic compound with molecular formula of C6H5C(CH3)CH2. It is a colorless liquid that emits sharp odor. Alphamethylstyrene is used as co-monomer in numerous polymerization processes in order to improve the heat and impact resistance of products. Alphamethylstyrene is manufactured as a byproduct in the phenol manufacturing process of cumene oxidation.
- Alphamethylstyrene undergoes purification by constant distillation at a reduced pressure in order to decrease phenol, cumene, and butyl benzene impurities. Alphamethylstyrene can be easily copolymerized with monomers such as benzene and acrylates. The price of alphamethylstyrene depends upon the price trends of benzene.
- Alphamethylstyrene is employed in a wide range of applications such as adhesives, plastics, and chemicals. It is utilized in the manufacture of resins, including acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, in the plastics industry. Additionally, alphamethylstyrene is used as a plastic additive. Furthermore, alphamethylstyrene is employed in the manufacture of perfumes, lubricating oils, and plasticizers.

Key Drivers and Restraints of Global Alphamethylstyrene Market
- Increase in adoption of alphamethylstyrene in protective gear and automotive manufacturing applications is a major factor estimated to drive the global alphamethylstyrene market during the forecast period. Additionally, rise in demand for alphamethylstyrene in the chemicals industry, where alphamethylstyrene is utilized as an intermediate, is projected to boost the alphamethylstyrene market in the near future.
- Rise in demand for plasticizers, wax, coatings, and adhesives in the automotive industry is a key factor propelling the global alphamethylstyrene market. Furthermore, growth in demand for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resins owing to constant expansion in automotive and electronics sectors is augmenting the demand for alphamethylstyrene. Increase in investments by key manufacturers in order to enhance the manufacturing process is another factor anticipated to boost the global alphamethylstyrene market during the forecast period.
- Alphamethylstyrene is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents such as copper, mercury, and alkaline pesticides. This is a prominent factor expected to hamper the global alphamethylstyrene market during the forecast period.
Alphamethylstyrene: Purity Segment
- Based on purity, the global alphamethylstyrene market can be bifurcated into below 99% and above 99%
- In terms of revenue, the below 99% segment is anticipated to account for major share of the global market during the forecast period. This can be ascribed to increase in adoption of alphamethylstyrene in the production of heat-resistant ABS. Alphamethylstyrene is also used as raw material of organic compounds in the production process of pigments and paint adhesives.
