Les aromatiques doivent leur nom à leur parfum (ou «arôme») distinctif. Les principales substances du groupe - benzène, toluène et xylènes - sont des produits chimiques de base qui servent de matière première à une large variété d'articles. Presque tous les aromatiques s'obtiennent à partir du pétrole brut; quelques-uns sont toutefois tirés du charbon. 3, record 1, French, - produit%20chimique%20de%20base
