Toluene

Product Description

Toluene (Code: 06264) is a high-purity aromatic hydrocarbon solvent with the chemical formula C₆H₅CH₃. It is a clear, colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic sweet odor. Known for its excellent solvency power and consistent evaporation rate, toluene is widely used in chemical synthesis, coatings, adhesives, cleaning formulations, and analytical research.

In laboratories, it serves as a non-polar solvent for organic reactions, chromatography, and spectroscopic studies. Industrially, Toluene is an essential component in paint thinners, inks, resins, and fuel additives.
