Product type
Ethylbenzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon primarily used as an intermediate in the production of styrene, which is a key component in the manufacture of various plastics and synthetic rubbers. It is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor, derived from the alkylation of benzene with ethylene. Ethylbenzene is produced through processes such as catalytic dehydrogenation of ethylcyclohexane and the transalkylation of toluene.

When selecting ethylbenzene, buyers should consider the purity level required for their specific applications, as higher purity may be necessary for certain industrial processes. It is also important to specify the desired quantity and any relevant safety data sheets or handling instructions. Certifications related to environmental and safety standards may be requested depending on regulatory requirements in the buyer's region.
