Benzene is a hydrocarbon that contains six carbon and six hydrogen atoms. It is a constituent of crude oil and one of the primary petrochemicals. It has a cyclic structure in which atoms are joined by a continuous pi-bond. It is a colorless and highly flammable liquid with a sweet odor. It is used as a precursor for the production of heavy chemicals such as ethylbenzene and cumene. It is an important gasoline additive with a high octane number, so it is used to improve the anti-knocking characteristic of gasoline. The carcinogenicity of benzene is the main reason for restrictions on the use of benzene in non-industrial applications.

Aroma chemicals are key ingredients of fragrances used in many products. The Global Aroma Chemicals market can be segmented into Natural and Synthetic aroma chemicals. The market is expected to witness steady growth during the forecast period, posting a CAGR of 5.51 percent because of demand from companies that manufacture food, soaps and detergents, cosmetics, toiletries, and household products.

Silica gel, one of the specialty silica and a form of silicon dioxide, is prepared commercially by the acidification of sodium silicate. It is used in a variety of commercial, industrial, and household applications, and is available in the market in various forms and product types. Some of its major types are Type A, Type B, Type C, cat litter, and stabilizing silica gel. Because of its simple manufacturing process, high specific surface area, and superior adsorption characteristics, it is considered one of the cheapest and readily available moisture-absorbents in the world and finds extensive use as an adsorbent and a desiccant. Apart from the aforementioned major application, it is also used in water filtration, as a food additive, and for chromatography.

Acetic anhydride, also known as ethanoic anhydride and produced from acetic acid is the simplest isolatable acid anhydride. It is one of the most significant industrial organic chemicals. It has strong lachrymatory properties and finds usage in the manufacture of cellulose acetate, a commercially important chemical used to produce cellulose acetate flake and cellulose acetate plastics. Acetic anhydride is colorless, highly reactive to water, and can cause harm to humans in its vapor state. Besides being used to produce cellulose acetate, acetic anhydride is used in the Pharmaceutical sector and also finds use in the production of PTMEG and TAED. Its trade is highly monitored because acetic anhydride is a precursor for the production of heroin.

Lubricants are materials used to reduce friction between two surfaces of equipment or components. They are usually in oil, semi-fluid, or solid state. Superior-quality lubricants have high thermal stability, high boiling point, low freezing point, and high viscosity index, which effectively help to reduce the friction between machine parts for increased operational efficiency. Several types of lubricants are available in the market, including engine oils, process oils, hydraulic fluids, turbine oils, tractor fluids, gear oils, and metal working fluids. Lubricants are classified into mineral oil-based, synthetic, and bio-based lubricants. They are used in various industries such as the Automotive, Industrial Machinery, Textile, Food and Beverage, Plastic, and Chemicals.
