Product description:An aromatic organic compounds, is primarily used in the petrochemical industry as intermediates of styrene production, made of styrene is generally used for the preparation of commonly used plastic products of polystyrene. Although there is a small amount of ethyl benzene in crude oil, but mass production is still on the acid catalytic reaction of benzene with ethylene under. Ethyl benzene by catalytic dehydrogenation, generate hydrogen and styrene. Ethyl benzene also exist with some paint.Mainly for the production of styrene, thus producing styrene homopolymer and styrene AS the main composition of the copolymer (ABS, AS, etc.). Ethyl benzene a few used in organic synthesis industry, such as the production of acetophenone, ethyl anthraquinone, p-nitrophenyl ethyl ketone, methyl phenyl ketone and other intermediates. As the intermediate of sintomycin and chloramphenicol in medicine. Also used to spice. In addition, also can be used as a solvent.
