Hydrocarbon compound; precursor to styrene and polystyrene
Ethylbenzene
Ethylbenzene is an organic compound with the formula C8H10 or C6H5CH2CH3. It is a highly flammable, colorless liquid with an odor similar to that of gasoline. This monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon is important in the petrochemical industry as a reaction intermediate in the production of styrene, the precursor to polystyrene, a common plastic material. In 2012, more than 99% of ethylbenzene produced was consumed in the production of styrene.
