Isopropylbenzene, Isopropylbenzol, cumene, Cumol, Kumen.....
CAS name: (1-methylethyl)benzene
CAS Nr.: 98-82-8
In EUROPE.
I am looking for this compound which is manufactured in millions of tons a year and can´t get it. My chemsupply would have to order it and the papertrail and the attention connected with this is unfavorable IMHO. After lots of diving through the world of hydrocarbons (aromatics, C9) I am frustrated.
Can somebody point me to some stuff which contains cumene in extractable amounts and is available in Europe?
No source of course, a hint where in the world of paintthinners or gasoline-additives this might be localized?
(it´s not in aviation gasoline, no, no...)
Learned a lot so:
European superplus gasoline (NOT US GASOLINE!) contains about 50% toluene and xylene...
thanks so
