Some of the nonrubber applications are as a chemical intermediate to make adiponitrile and hexamethylenediamine, precursors to making Nylon 66 whose primary application is carpeting. Other nonrubber applications are styrene-butadiene latexes for paper coatings and carpet backing, and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resins for plastic pipe and automotive/appliance parts. 

Uses. Plastics and synthetic rubber are the major uses for styrene. They account for the exponential growth from a few million pounds per year in 1938 to more than 8 billion pounds today. The numerous plastics include polystyrene, styrenated polyesters, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN), and styrene-butadiene (SB). Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) was a landmark chemical achievement when it was comrner-cialized during World War II. The styrene derivatives are found everywhere—in food-grade film, coys, construction pipe, foam, boats, latex paints, tires, luggage, and furniture. 

ACRN is used to make acrylic fibers, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN). Worldwide acrylic fiber accounts for over half of total demand while ABS and SAN consume about 30% of output. Smaller applications include nitrile rubber copolymers (4%), adiponitrile (ADN) and acrylamide. Acrylic fibers are used in carpets and clothing while ABS and SAN resins are used in pipes and fittings, automobiles, furniture, and packaging276. In the United States the ACRN uses are distributed differently 38% is used in ADN, 22% in ABS and SAN, 17% in acrylic fibers, 11% in acrylamide, 3% in nitrile elastomers, and 9% in miscellaneous, which includes polymers, polyols, barrier resins and carbon fibers277. 

Toughened polystyrene and other related plastics like acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene can be extruded to produce opaque, coloured sheet for thermoforming, and as profiles and pipe. Techniques are available by which good surface finish may be obtained, but under typical conditions the extruded surfaces will be matt or satin .

Thermoplastic Foam Extrusion. Foamed plastics find applications as rigid profiles, pipe, sheet, packaging material, and thermal insulation. Polystyrene (PS) finds the widest application in foamed products while poly(vinyl chloride) PVC, low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) (21) are also used in large quantities. All common thermoplastics can be foamed by various techniques as described hereafter. 

Another polystyrene-based product is acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), a tough, hard, and chemically resistant plastic used for pipes and for items such as radio housings, telephone cases, and golf club heads, for which shock resistance is an essential property. Originally, ABS was produced by copolymerization of the three monomers ... 

While any plastic material, irrespective of its chemical composition and character, may be made into pipe or tubing, by far the greatest amount of pipe is made from thermoplastics (TPs) that are adaptable to extrusion processes (Chapter 5). Specialty pipe is made in small amounts from TS materials such as phenolic and polyester, but very large of commercial pipe is made from polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, acrylonitrile butadiene copolymers, and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene types of alloys. Specialty tubing in relatively small amounts is made of acrylates and acrylate copolymers, as well as other transparent materials (Chapter 3). 

The other important diol which finds wide application in synthesis of flame retardant epoxy thermosets is 4,4 -isopropylidene bis(2,6-dibromo-phenol) (tetrabromobisphenol-A,TBPA).The primary use of TBPA is as a reactive flame retardant in epoxy resin-based circuit boards and in electronic enclosures made of polycarbonate-acrylonitrile, butadiene-styrene, etc. Hexafluorobisphenol-A (bisphenol-AF, hexafluoroisopropylidene diphenol) has also been used for the synthesis of fluorinated epoxy resin aiming at the anticorrosion coatings market for industrial vessels and pipes. The key disadvantages of fluorinated epoxies are their relatively high costs and low Tg, which limit their commercialisation. Thus utilisation of such diols in vegetable oil-based epoxy resins may result in similar performance.

Today the pipe applications of PVC, PE and PP have become a major consideration in the global consumption of polymeric materials. By comparison, other polymers that were market contenders for pipe products developed little and now consume small tonnages in what may be regarded as specialist applications. Nevertheless piping may still constitute an important market for these other plastics in relation to their total consumption. For instance extrusion of pipe is significant in the markets for polybutadiene (PB), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF).
