Benzene
Benzene (Product Code: SCI-403/168) is an analytical reagent grade aromatic hydrocarbon used as a reference compound and non-polar solvent in college and senior-school organic chemistry laboratories. It is listed with a capacity of 250 ml, comes with its MSDS and is intended for supervised work in a fume cupboard, because benzene is highly flammable and harmful to health. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India.

What Is Benzene Used For?
In organic chemistry teaching, benzene is the parent aromatic compound. Students compare its ring structure with that of alkenes, discuss why it prefers substitution to addition reactions, and use it as a reference liquid when aromatic properties are studied. Being colourless, immiscible with water and less dense than water, it forms a separate upper layer in a separating funnel, and iodine dissolves in it far more readily than in water, a clear example of like dissolving like.
Benzene is a recognised carcinogen and is highly flammable, so it should live in a ventilated flammables or chemistry reagent cabinet and be dispensed only inside a working school or college fume cupboard, with goggles and chemical-resistant gloves. Many schools restrict it to teacher demonstrations or use a less hazardous solvent for student practicals, so check your syllabus and local safety rules before ordering.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, sources Benzene for colleges, universities and senior-school chemistry departments and supplies it with its MSDS. Because benzene is a flammable liquid, share the delivery address early so that suitable packing and transport can be confirmed for destinations in India and international markets. Company background is on the ScienceLab profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What grade and volume is Benzene SCI-403/168?
Benzene SCI-403/168 is analytical reagent grade and is listed with a capacity of 250 ml. It is supplied with its MSDS, which gives the hazard, storage and first-aid information a laboratory needs before the liquid is opened.
Is Benzene safe for school students to handle?
Benzene is not suitable for unsupervised student use, because it is highly flammable and a known carcinogen. Where a syllabus calls for Benzene, trained staff should handle it in a fume cupboard with goggles and chemical-resistant gloves, following the MSDS and local safety rules.
How should Benzene be stored?
Store Benzene SCI-403/168 tightly closed in a ventilated flammables cabinet, away from heat, sparks and oxidising agents. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Can Benzene be shipped outside India?
Benzene SCI-403/168 can be quoted for buyers in India and international markets, but as a flammable liquid it needs appropriate packing and transport. Share the destination and quantity in your enquiry so we can confirm the shipping options before sending a quotation.
Is there more than one Benzene listing?
Yes. The catalogue also shows a Benzene 250 ml listing under a different product code. Mention SCI-403/168 in your enquiry to quote this Benzene listing, so that your purchase order and the delivered stock carry the same code.
Who supplies Benzene SCI-403/168?
Benzene SCI-403/168 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources the reagent and provides it with its MSDS to colleges, schools, research laboratories and dealers in India and international markets.
