Pure Grade 99.9%
Benzene is the most basic aromatic hydrocarbon and a critical feedstock for the chemical industry. It is a clear, colorless, highly flammable liquid with a sweet odor. Ruvon supplies Virgin Benzene with >99.9% purity, essential for downstream manufacturing of Styrene, Cumene, Cyclohexane, and Nitrobenzene.
Benzene is not just a solvent; it is an "Intermediate." Almost 80% of global Benzene is used to produce three chemicals: Ethylbenzene (for Styrene), Cumene (for Phenol), and Cyclohexane (for Nylon). Purity is critical because impurities like Sulphur can poison the catalysts used in these reactions.
Conforms to ASTM D-2359 (Refined Benzene-535).

Benzene has a unique hexagonal ring structure with "delocalized electrons" (Resonance). This makes it chemically very stable but also very reactive towards substitution.
Reacted with Ethylene to make Ethylbenzene, which becomes Styrene (used in plastics and foam).
Converted to Cumene, which is then oxidized to produce Phenol (for resins) and Acetone.
Hydrogenated to Cyclohexane, a precursor for Caprolactam and Adipic Acid (Nylon 6/66).
Used to make Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB), the main ingredient in laundry detergents.
Precursor for Aniline, which is used to make rubber accelerators and antioxidants.
Used as a solvent in pharmaceutical manufacturing and special adhesives.
Standard heavy-duty steel drums. Reconditioned or New.
Bulk supply (15-20 MT) for large petrochemical plants.
Benzene is a Class 1 Carcinogen (causes Leukemia). Strict safety is non-negotiable.
99.9% Virgin Grade. Low Sulphur for Catalytic Processes.
