Altivia Alpha-Methylstyrene (AMS) is a colorless liquid organic chemical used to produce a wide variety of styrenic polymers. AMS adds heat resistance to ABS resins which can be found in automotive parts, electronic appliance housings and protective coatings. AMS is also used to improve the impact and heatresistant properties of certain polymers, including specialty grades of plastic, rubber, and adhesives. AMS is used in the production of para-cumylphenol, a specialty intermediate for thermoplastics and polycarbonate resins.
