The Asia-Pacific is the largest benzene market, which consumed more than 45.0% of the total demand in 2012, and also for most of its derivatives that include ethylbenzene, cyclohexane,
cumene, nitrobenzene, and alkylbenzene.
Changing the substrate with another one having lower [k.sub.p] and 2[k.sub.t] such as
cumene usually overcomes this problem.
GPx was measured by NADPH oxidation, using a coupled reaction system consisting of GSH, GR, and
cumene hydroperoxide (Tappel 1978).
The cross-linking of the unsaturated polyester with styrene was then initiated by adding 0.12 g of
cumene hydroperoxide and 0.01 g of ferrous sulphate.

Cumene industry supply scenario in France from 2005 to 2019, comprising plant capacity growth and installed plant capacity by production process and technology
Cumene is used in the production of phenol, acetone and alpha-methylstyrene, all of which are building blocks for a range of everyday products including plywood and oriented strand board, engineered plastics, pharmaceuticals, and paints, acrylics and varnishes.
Thymol, p-cumenol and gamma-terpinene proved to be excellent free-radical scavengers followed by S-(+)-carvone, R-(-)-carvone and 4- methoxy
cumene, whereas, cuminal, cuminyl alcohol and p-cymene showed weak activity as shown in Table-1.
Synthesis of graft copolymers from natural rubber using
cumene hydroperoxide redox initiator.
Three substances have been added as reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens: 1-bromopropane, used as a cleaning solvent and spray adhesive;
cumene, used to make phenol and acetone, and also found in fuel products and tobacco smoke; and the wood preservative mixture pentachlorophenol.
