Benzene is a high-purity, volatile aromatic hydrocarbon commonly used as a solvent, reagent, and extraction medium in chemical and analytical applications.

🏭⚗️ Production
High-purity benzene is obtained through careful distillation and purification from petroleum-derived fractions. Sulfur compounds and other impurities are removed to ensure chemical integrity. The purified solvent is stored in tightly sealed, moisture-resistant containers.

🔬 Properties
Benzene is a clear, colorless liquid with a sweet odor, low density, and high volatility. It is non-polar, immiscible with water, and an effective solvent for many organic compounds. Chemically stable under standard conditions, it is highly flammable and reactive with strong oxidizing agents.

🧪 Applications
Used as a solvent for chemical reactions and extractions, benzene dissolves non-polar compounds efficiently. It is applied in chromatographic analyses, preparation of reference standards, and dissolution of compounds that require a low-polarity solvent. In pharmaceutical chemistry, it can serve as a medium for certain syntheses under strictly controlled conditions.

⚠️ Safety
Benzene is highly toxic, carcinogenic, and flammable. Exposure through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact can cause blood disorders and long-term health effects. Handling requires gloves, protective eyewear, and work inside a well-ventilated fume hood. Containers must be stored sealed, away from heat and strong oxidizers. Waste must be managed according to hazardous chemical regulations.
