Industrial Grade Benzene
High-purity benzene derived from the distillation of high temperature coal tar, containing more than 50 percent by weight benzene as per subheading 2707.10 notes. Used primarily as a solvent and chemical intermediate in manufacturing. Falls under HTS 2707.10.00.00 due to its aromatic composition exceeding nonaromatic constituents.
Coal Tar Benzene 95%
Benzene product from high temperature coal tar distillation with 95% benzene content by weight, exceeding nonaromatic components. Commonly used in dye and pharmaceutical synthesis. Classified in 2707.10.00.00 per HTS notes for coal tar oils rich in aromatics.
Benzol Solvent Grade
Benzol (benzene) from coal tar rectification containing over 50% benzene, used as an industrial solvent for resins and adhesives. Meets HTS 2707.10 criteria as a high-temperature coal tar distillate where aromatics predominate.
Aromatic Benzene Fraction
Distillate fraction from coal tar where aromatic constituents (primarily benzene >50%) exceed nonaromatics, as specified in HTS heading 2707. Essential raw material for synthetic rubber production.
