Cepsa Chemicals Alpha Methylstyrene (AMS)
Cepsa Chemicals Alpha Methylstyrene (AMS) is a colorless liquid organic chemical employed in the production of a wide range of styrenic polymers. AMS is the result of splitting cumene hydroperoxide with sulfuric acid. Cumene itself is obtained through the catalytic alkylation of benzene with propylene. AMS is primarily used in the manufacturing of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), a thermoplastic resin, and finds applications in various industries, including coatings, food, and cosmetics.
