Styrex 310 is designed to:
• Inhibit free radical polymerization applications
• Decrease polymer make Styrex 310 is extremely effective at inhibiting poly-
• Decrease tar viscosity styrene formation in styrene distillation trains. As a
result, several benefits can be realized:
• Increase production capacity

• Decrease EH&S concerns viscosity
• up to 2.5% increase in capacity
description and use
• up to 60% reduction in nitrogen content in tar
Styrex 310 is a water-based free radical polymerization residue
inhibitor used in the styrene manufacturing process.
Typical applications include distillation trains, dehydro

condensers, vent gas compressors, and water
strippers. Proper treatment levels for Styrex 310 depend on
many factors such as temperature, concentration of

Nitrogen blanketing on storage tank is preferred to
extend product shelf life. When sizing the storage tank,
50-60 days of working inventory is a good rule of
thumb/practice.
For low volume applications, this product will be
delivered and stored in non-returnable bins (either
clear or pigment color). To minimize product
degradation, avoid storage in direct sunlight. Either
store in warehouse or cover unopened bins with a tarp.

evaluation
For best unit performance, the SUEZ program must be
conscientiously monitored by periodic recording of
system control parameters such as polymer forma-
tion, chest pressures, and temperatures.
