Ethylbenzene for industrial

Ethylbenzene, an aromatic hydrocarbons,chemical formula C6H5C2H5, is flammable, its steam can form explosive mixtures with air. In open flame, high fever, or contact with antioxidant, is in danger of cause burning explosion.

Ethylbenzene is an aromatic organic compounds, is primarily used in the petrochemical industry as intermediates of styrene production, which is generally used for the preparation of commonly used plastic products-polystyrene. Although there is a small amount of ethylbenzene in crude oil, but mass production is still rely on the acid catalytic reaction of benzene with ethylene. Ethylbenzene by catalytic dehydrogenation, generates hydrogen and styrene.
