Poly(2-chlorostyrene)
polymerPoly(2-chlorostyrene) is a halogenated aromatic thermoplastic polymer derived from the styrene family, featuring a chlorine substituent on the benzene ring that modifies its thermal and chemical properties compared to polystyrene. This material is used in applications requiring enhanced flame resistance, chemical resistance, and thermal stability, such as electrical insulators, industrial coatings, and specialized consumer products where standard polystyrene would degrade. Its chlorine content makes it inherently flame-retardant without additional additives, though it remains primarily a research and specialty material rather than a high-volume commodity plastic.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
