Nitro Benzene: direct from source to Europe
Nitro Benzene (CAS 98-95-3) is a bulk aromatic nitro compound and the main raw material for aniline production, which in turn feeds MDI, rubber chemicals, dyes and agrochemicals. Supplied as a liquid in drums, IBCs and ISO tanks with EU dangerous-goods documentation.
- COA, SDS & TDS with every batch
- REACH status confirmed before quote
- Samples available for qualification
Nitro Benzene: names, synonyms and identifiers
Buyers search for this material under several names. Whichever one appears on your specification, purchase order or REACH dossier, it is the same compound: Nitro Benzene, CAS 98-95-3.
- Confirmed CAS number on every COA
- Premium grade with GC purity 99.5%+ available
- TDS and SDS supplied with every shipment
⚠ Not the same as nitrotoluenes or dinitrobenzenes. Always match CAS 98-95-3.
Nitro Benzene physical and chemical properties
Key parameters for process engineering, safety planning and storage design. Values are typical; always verify against the current TDS for your lot.
Nitro Benzene grade specifications: standard vs premium
Two grades are offered so your process chemist or quality team can pick what suits downstream requirements. COA parameters are confirmed before every shipment.
All values are specification limits, not guaranteed minima. Actual COA figures for your lot are provided before dispatch. Non-standard specifications are available on enquiry.
Where Nitro Benzene is used
Typical end uses and synthesis routes for European manufacturers, toll processors and laboratories.
Aniline production
Hydrogenation of nitrobenzene is the dominant route to aniline.
Polyurethane chain
Aniline from nitrobenzene is the entry point for MDI and polyurethane.
Rubber chemicals
Feed for antioxidants and vulcanisation accelerators.
Dyes and pharma
Basic building block for many substituted aromatic intermediates.
Specialty solvent
Selective solvent and oxidant in selected industrial processes.
Custom synthesis
Starting material for meta-substituted benzene derivatives.
Packed to your site, documented for customs
Nitro Benzene is handled as a dangerous good. Every shipment leaves with UN-approved packaging, CLP labelling and the full document set for European import.
200 litre drums
UN-approved drums for FCL and LCL shipments. Net weight depends on density.

Nitro Benzene is a bulk aromatic nitro compound and the main raw material for aniline production, which in turn feeds MDI, rubber chemicals, dyes and agrochemicals.
Standard grade offers 99.0% minimum GC purity. Premium grade offers 99.5% minimum, lower water content and inert-gas blanketed packaging. Premium is recommended for multi-step routes with tight impurity control.
It carries serious health hazards and is toxic to aquatic life, so it must be handled under closed-system conditions with the controls set out in the current SDS. Check current REACH and CLP entries before use.
Aniline hydrogenation plants normally take technical grade with low dinitrobenzene and phenol impurities. Specify your impurity limits and we will confirm them on the COA.
Store in closed, labelled containers away from heat, strong oxidisers, bases and reducing agents. Use suitable ventilation. Use within the shelf life stated on the COA and TDS.
It is treated as a dangerous good (class and UN number per SDS; always confirm on the current SDS). We pack it in UN-approved containers, apply CLP labels and ship through licensed forwarders under IMDG for sea and ADR for European road.
Yes. Laboratory and pilot samples are supplied with a COA and SDS so your team can qualify the grade. Mention sample needs in your enquiry.
REACH status is confirmed before we quote. We advise on importer-of-record arrangements and whether the substance is registered for your use. Send your use descriptor and we will confirm.
