journal article

Description:

Styrene emissions are coming under increasing study as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) develops maximum achievable control technology standards. During the manufacture of fiber-reinforced plastics/composites products, styrene, a volatile organic compound and a hazardous air pollutant, is emitted. This paper presents the results of a 4-week study designed to quantify the effects of various pollution prevention (P2) alternatives on styrene emissions and compare the emission factors calculated from the test results to the existing EPA AP-42 emission factors from sprayed filled resins used in open molding processes. The studied P2 alternatives included filler type and loading, resin type and styrene content, styrene suppressant, gel time, and initiator type.
