What is benzene (CAS 71-43-2)?
Benzene, a molecule with the chemical structure of C6H6, has a molar mass of just over 78 grams/mole. At room temperature, it tends to exist in a liquid state. It is colorless and has a very distinctive gasoline-like odor. Pure benzene is soluble in water and has a melting point of 5.33 degrees Celsius. It also has a boiling point of 80.1 degrees Celsius. Benzene CAS 71-43-2 is used to make plastics, resins, synthetic fibers, rubber lubricants, dyes, detergents, drugs and pesticides.

What does pure benzene smell like?
It has a sweet smell and is very flammable. Benzene evaporates into the air very quickly. It is heavier than air and may sink into lower areas.
Due to benzene's toxicity (carcinogenicity, neurotoxicity, and ability to damage bone marrow), its use in manufacturing is strictly regulated globally (e.g., by the U.S. EPA, EU REACH). Manufacturers must:
- Limit worker exposure (e.g., via closed systems, ventilation).
- Monitor air/water emissions to prevent environmental contamination.
