Benzene is a colorless and toxic aromatic liquid, used in the manufacture of resins, adhesives, dyes, pesticides, rubber lubricants, and detergents. It is mainly extracted through the refinery and as a co-product of naphtha cracking or produced as a by-product from paraxylene units. In SEA, consumption for benzene is chiefly projected in the form of cumene-based resin, which is much in demand in the construction sector.
