Overview of Benzene

Benzene (C₆H₆) is a colorless, highly flammable aromatic hydrocarbon with a sweet odor. It is a fundamental industrial chemical used as a precursor for a wide range of chemicals, including plastics, resins, synthetic fibers, rubber, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. Benzene is highly valued in chemical synthesis for its stability and reactivity in producing derivatives such as styrene, phenol, and cyclohexane.

In industrial applications, Benzene is sourced in high-purity grades to ensure safe and efficient use in chemical manufacturing. It is often used alongside Toluene, Xylene, and Ethylbenzene, available on ChemicalBull, providing comprehensive solutions for petrochemical and specialty chemical industries.

Applications of Benzene
