Sourcing Benzene? ChemicalDekho facilitates supply from major refineries like Reliance, IOCL, and BPCL. Secure bulk feedstock for Ethylbenzene, Cumene, and Cyclohexane production.
Benzene (CAS 71-43-2) is the simplest aromatic hydrocarbon and a building block for 80% of all organic chemicals. It is reacted to make Styrene (Plastics), Phenol (Resins), and Cyclohexane (Nylon). Due to its high toxicity (Leukemia risk), its use as a solvent is banned; it is strictly an industrial intermediate.
**RESTRICTED SUPPLY:** Benzene is a Class 1 Carcinogen and Petroleum Class A Solvent. Supply is limited to industrial users with valid PESO licenses and environmental clearances.

May cause cancer (Leukemia). Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Fatal if swallowed. Causes skin irritation. Toxic to aquatic life. Vapors may explode.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. Benzene is a proven carcinogen (causes blood cancer). It is illegal to sell it for general cleaning or solvent use. Use Toluene or Xylene instead.
It is essential. You cannot make Polystyrene plastic, Nylon clothes, or Epoxy glue without starting from Benzene molecules.
Yes, strangely high freezing point (5.5°C). Pipelines must be heat-traced in winter to prevent blockage.
Benzene has a pleasant, sweet smell. This is dangerous because you might inhale toxic levels without realizing it is harmful.
