Benzene – High-Purity Aromatic Hydrocarbon

Benzene (C₆H₆) is a highly flammable, colorless liquid with a characteristic sweet odor. Known for its aromatic ring structure, benzene serves as a critical building block in the chemical industry, particularly in the synthesis of styrene, phenol, cyclohexane, and aniline.

It is derived primarily from petrochemical refining processes and plays a foundational role in polymer production, including polystyrene and nylon. Cavin Resource offers industrial benzene with purity exceeding 99.9%, ideal for use in large-scale manufacturing and downstream chemical synthesis.

Our supply chain supports both local and international logistics, ensuring timely and compliant delivery to refineries, chemical plants, and industrial distributors.
