Ethyl Benzene Market: Overview

The compound is aromatic hydrocarbon and is ingredient of coal tar & petroleum. Furthermore, ethyl benzene is utilized as petroleum additive & chemical intermediate in manufacturing of polystyrene. The product finds slew of applications in paints, inks, fuels, solvents, and insecticides. Moreover, ethyl benzene is utilized in exclusive production of styrene chemical. The compound is found in biological substances such as plant foliage, blood, fish samples, and subcutaneous fats by using gas chromatography with mass spectrometry, gas chromatography with flame ionization detection, and head space gas chromatography. Reportedly, ethyl benzene can occur naturally and has been found in parsley leaves, orange peel, dried legumes, and other food materials.

According to NCBI, ethyl benzene was first manufactured commercially during 1930 in the U.S. and Germany. For the record, currently almost all of ethyl benzene is manufactured on commercial scale by chemical factories through alkylation of benzene with ethylene in liquid phase with aluminum chloride functioning as a catalyst or in the vapor stage with a synthetic zeolite or Lewis acid working as a catalytic agent.
