A latex and solution with UV-active monomers created using styrenic polymers created via the depolymerization of a polystyrene feedstock. In some embodiments the polystyrene feedstock contains recycle polystyrene. In some embodiments, the styrenic polymers contain olefins. In some embodiments, the latex and solution with UV-active monomers are used in ink formulations. In some embodiments, latex and solution UV-active monomers can replace styrenated acrylics within flexo and/or gravure ink formulations. Other applications of the latex and solution with UV-active monomers can include, but are not limited to, coatings, paints, adhesives. Additional applications of the latex can include but are not limited to immunoassays.
