German term or phrase: Niedere Alkylaromaten
All,

I am translation a technical data sheet for a tar removal agent.
Its ingredients are listed as "Gemisch ***niederer Alkyl- und Isoalkylaromaten*** (Benzolgehalt kleiner 0,005 g/l)."

Does "niedere" refer to low molecular weight?
What are Alkylaromaten called in English?

Thanks

Peter

Aromatic compounds containing lower alkyl groups


Explanation:
I have seen this used to mean aromatic compounds that contain lower alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl etc.
There are a few references for patents for tar removal agents that use
"aromatic compounds and their alkyl homologs containing lower alkyl groups".
