Benzene Lab Reagent

Product Code : SCL-LC-12192

The Benzene Lab Reagent is a restricted aromatic hydrocarbon chemical used only in authorised chemistry, analytical and research laboratories where an approved method specifically requires benzene. It is intended for trained personnel with verified SDS access, flammable-liquid storage, exposure controls and hazardous-waste procedures.

Product Description

Benzene from Science Lab Supplies is positioned as a controlled laboratory chemical for institutional procurement. The supplied product name confirms benzene as the chemical identity, but pack size, assay, grade, batch number, inhibitor status, SDS and Certificate of Analysis must be verified before final catalogue publication.

Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon with formula C₆H₆. It is a volatile, highly flammable liquid and is associated with serious chronic health hazards. Because of carcinogenic and flammability risks, it is not suitable for routine school demonstrations or unsupervised student handling.

Key Features

• Defined chemical identity: benzene, C₆H₆, CAS 71-43-2.
• Restricted laboratory use: for authorised analytical and research procedures only.
• Pack size to confirm: bottle volume or net quantity must be verified before publication.
• Grade to confirm: do not claim LR, AR, ACS, HPLC or spectroscopy grade without COA.
• Flammable-liquid control: requires compatible flammable-storage cabinet and ignition-source control.
• Carcinogen-control requirement: use only with SDS-approved exposure controls and trained supervision.
• Documentation required: SDS, COA, batch number, purity and regulatory classification should be confirmed before supply.

How to Use the Benzene

1. Verify the label, CAS number, grade, purity, batch number and expiry date before use.
2. Read the current Safety Data Sheet and institutional benzene-handling procedure.
3. Use only in an authorised fume hood or controlled ventilation area.
4. Wear chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, lab coat and any PPE specified by the SDS.
5. Dispense only the minimum required quantity using compatible glassware and secondary containment.
6. Keep away from flames, sparks, hot surfaces and oxidising agents.
7. Close the container immediately after dispensing and return it to flammable-liquid storage.
8. Collect residues and contaminated items as hazardous organic-solvent waste.

Safety note: Benzene Lab Reagent is highly flammable and associated with carcinogenic hazards. Do not use it for routine classroom demonstrations, cleaning, fuel, consumer applications, food, medical, cosmetic or unauthorised industrial purposes.

Care & Maintenance

• Store tightly closed in a certified flammable-liquid cabinet.
• Keep away from heat, sparks, flames, strong oxidisers and incompatible chemicals.
• Use secondary containment and maintain clear hazard labelling.
• Do not use if the bottle is leaking, unlabelled, contaminated, expired or stored outside approved controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Benzene Lab Reagent used for?

Benzene Lab Reagent is used only in authorised laboratories for approved analytical, aromatic hydrocarbon and research procedures where benzene is specifically required.

What is the formula of benzene?

The formula of benzene is C₆H₆.

What is the CAS number of benzene?

Benzene is commonly listed as CAS 71-43-2. Confirm the CAS number from the final product SDS before publication.

Is benzene hazardous?

Yes. Benzene is a highly flammable laboratory chemical associated with serious chronic health hazards, including carcinogenic risk. It requires strict SDS-led controls.

What pack size is available?

The pack size is not confirmed. Add bottle volume or net quantity only after checking the final Science Lab Supplies product specification.

Can benzene be used in schools?

Benzene is not suitable for routine school demonstrations. Only authorised institutions with trained staff, fume-hood access, flammable storage, SDS controls and hazardous-waste procedures should handle benzene.
