Used primarily in the production of synthetic rubber, especially styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and polybutadiene rubber (PBR), which are essential for manufacturing vehicle tires. Also employed in the synthesis of plastics such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), a durable material used in automotive parts, electronic housings, and consumer goods. Plays a role in the manufacture of latex for adhesives, carpet backing, and coatings. Additionally, it serves as a monomer in copolymer production, enhancing flexibility and impact resistance in various polymer applications.
