Molecular Weight 78.11 g/mol

Benzene is a colorless, volatile, and highly flammable liquid with a sweet aromatic odor. It is a fundamental petrochemical used as a starting material in the synthesis of numerous chemicals such as plastics, resins, synthetic fibers, rubber, dyes, detergents, and pharmaceuticals. Due to its toxicity and carcinogenic nature, its use is strictly regulated.

Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

Intermediate for Performance Chemicals: Benzene is a foundational raw material for producing numerous industrial chemicals such as ethylbenzene, cumene, cyclohexane, and linear alkylbenzene.
Building Block for Aromatics: Serves as a core compound for manufacturing a wide range of aromatic chemicals and polymers.

2. Polymer & Resins

Styrene Production: Benzene is converted to ethylbenzene, which is then used to make styrene—a key monomer for polystyrene and other plastics.
Nylon & Polyester Precursors: Used in the production of caprolactam and terephthalic acid, both essential for making nylon and polyester.
Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR): Involved in the production of styrene used in making synthetic rubber, widely used in tires and industrial products.

3. Pharmaceuticals

Solvent & Intermediate: Used as a solvent and starting material in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), though its use is tightly controlled due to toxicity.
Intermediate for Drug Synthesis: Forms part of the molecular backbone for several drug compounds via aromatic substitution.
