Benzene
Petrochemical grade benzene for styrene, phenol and downstream synthesis.
01 Overview
Benzene is the primary aromatic building block, converted principally into ethylbenzene and styrene, cumene and phenol, cyclohexane for nylon, and alkylbenzene for detergents. It is a regulated carcinogen and is traded strictly into industrial synthesis applications.
