Aniline Oil
Aniline Oil, also known as Phenylamine or Aminobenzene, is an organic compound with the formula C₆H₅NH₂. It is the simplest and one of the most important aromatic amines. As a primary feedstock in the chemical industry, it serves as the precursor for MDI (Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate), which is used in polyurethanes. It is also a vital intermediate in the production of dyes, drugs, and rubber chemicals. Moonarc Chemicals supplies high-purity Aniline Oil designed to meet the stringent requirements of the global manufacturing sector.
