Benzene 250 ml (Product Code: SCI-467/198) is an analytical reagent grade aromatic hydrocarbon used as a non-polar solvent and as the reference aromatic compound in college organic chemistry and research laboratories. Because benzene is a recognised carcinogen and highly flammable, it is meant for supervised advanced work rather than school classes; this listing is a 250 ml bottle supplied with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab chemicals supplier in India.

Benzene is the textbook aromatic compound. Set beside an alkene, it does not decolourise bromine water under ordinary conditions, which illustrates the unusual stability of the aromatic ring. College and research laboratories also use it as a non-polar solvent for extraction and recrystallisation, and as the solvent in freezing-point depression experiments that estimate the molar mass of an organic solute.
Benzene vapour is harmful, heavier than air and highly flammable, so dispense it only inside a fume cupboard, well away from flames and hot plates, while wearing goggles and chemical-resistant gloves. For routine solvent work, many teaching labs now choose less hazardous alternatives such as cyclohexane and keep benzene for the few experiments that genuinely need it.
Benzene 250 ml is sourced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, for colleges, universities and research laboratories in India and international markets. It is supplied with an MSDS so the chemical store holds the hazard, storage and first-aid information needed for a carcinogenic solvent, and it can share an enquiry with spill kits and glassware.

What grade and pack size is Benzene 250 ml?
Benzene 250 ml (SCI-467/198) is listed as analytical reagent grade in a 250 ml bottle and is supplied with an MSDS. For assay, water content or other batch analysis details, ask us before ordering and we will share what the batch documentation states.
Is Benzene 250 ml suitable for school practicals?
Benzene 250 ml is intended for supervised college and research work, because benzene is a recognised human carcinogen and is highly flammable. Many schools use less hazardous solvents such as cyclohexane for routine experiments, so check your own chemical safety policy first.
How should Benzene 250 ml be stored?
Store Benzene 250 ml tightly capped in a ventilated flammables cabinet, away from heat, sparks, oxidising agents and direct sunlight. Keep the MSDS supplied with the bottle in the chemical register and dispense only inside a fume cupboard.
What is the shelf life of Benzene 250 ml?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so we do not state a fixed period for Benzene 250 ml. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the bottle sealed between uses.
Who supplies Benzene 250 ml?
Benzene 250 ml is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, which sources analytical reagents and solvents for college, university and research laboratories in India and international markets.
