Description

Application
Acrylonitrile is widely used in the manufacture of acrylic fibers which are commonly used in clothing carpets and upholstery. It is also used to produce plastics such as ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) which is used in automotive parts electronic housings and consumer goods.

Purpose
The main purpose of acrylonitrile is to act as a key raw material (monomer) in the production of various synthetic polymers. Its chemical structure allows it to form strong durable and heat-resistant materials.

General Description
Acrylonitrile is a colorless volatile liquid with a slightly pungent odor. It is an organic compound containing a vinyl group and a nitrile group which makes it highly reactive. It is mainly produced from propylene through a process called ammoxidation.
