About Benzene
Benzene is a hydrocarbon that contains six carbon and six hydrogen atoms. Benzene is one of the constituents of crude oil. Its chemical structure is cyclic with atoms joined by continuous pi-bonds. It is a colourless, highly flammable liquid with a sweet odour. It is primarily used as a precursor to heavy chemicals such as ethylbenzene and cumene. It is an important additive to gasoline as its high octane number improves the anti-knocking characteristics of gasoline. Carcinogenity of benzene is the primary reason for it not being used for non-industrial purposes. Several other chemicals are also manufactured using benzene, including:
• Cyclohexane
• Nitrobenzene
• LAB
• Maleic Anhydride
• Naphthalene
• Chlorobenzene
• BHC
TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Benzene market to grow at a CAGR of 4.68 percent over the period 2014-2019.
