Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information

Photolysis: Half life of 0.38 days is estimated for reaction of styrene with hydroxyl radicals in the atmosphere at 25oC [AOPWIN Program, v.1.92] and a half-life of 0.55 days is calculated for reaction of styrene with ozone [AOPWIN Program, v.1.91].Overall QSARs estimated half-life for degradation of styrene in air based upon AOPWIN Model is 3.28 hours.Based on the data on photochemical degradation of styrene in the air, it is considered to rapidly degrade in the atmosphere via photooxidation process.
