Indene (CAS 95-13-6) is a flammable polycyclic hydrocarbon with chemical formula C9H8. It is composed of a benzene ring fused with a cyclopentene ring. This aromatic liquid is colorless although samples often are pale yellow. The principal industrial use of indene is in the production of indene/coumarone thermoplastic resins.
Indene can come from deep processing of coal tar or from C9 fraction. According to QYR research, most of the Indene comes from the C9 fraction, but most of the Indene is further processed into resins because selling Indene directly is very cumbersome and has a small profit. Therefore, Indene rarely appears on the market, but this market does exist.
