Blue Arrow

In the European Economic Area, the production and use of nitrobenzene occurs under strictly controlled conditions and is compulsorily confined to the purpose of transformation into another substance. Thus, more than 90% of the Nitrobenzene currently produced by Bondalti is consumed in the production of aniline, the rest being used mainly in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries — the well-known paracetamol, for example, requires nitrobenzene in its production.
