⚠ Handle only per the current SDS; nitrobenzene is toxic by all routes of exposure, including skin absorption. Always match CAS 98-95-3.
Nitrobenzene 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.
Nitrobenzene 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.

Nitrobenzene (CAS 98-95-3) is a pale yellow oily liquid with a characteristic almond-like odour, used as the principal intermediate for aniline, and downstream MDI, rubber chemicals, dyes and pharmaceuticals.
Standard grade offers 99.5% minimum GC purity. Premium grade offers 99.8% minimum with lower moisture, dinitrobenzene content and colour. Premium is recommended for aniline hydrogenation routes needing tight impurity control.
Nitrobenzene is toxic by inhalation, ingestion and skin contact, and skin absorption is a significant exposure route, so appropriate PPE and closed handling are required per the current SDS. We supply it only to verified industrial users with suitable handling controls. Order by CAS (98-95-3).
Nitrobenzene is classified as toxic and can face REACH, CLP and workplace-exposure obligations depending on use. We confirm the current status for your application before quoting.
Store in closed containers in a cool, dry, ventilated, access-controlled area, away from light, strong oxidisers and reducing agents. Use within the shelf life stated on the COA and TDS.
It is treated as a toxic dangerous good (Class 6.1, UN 1662; 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.
