Toluene 99.5% Industrial Grade A colorless, volatile liquid with a distinctive aroma rich stock!
Toluene, an organic compound with the chemical formula C7H8, is a colorless, volatile liquid with a distinctive aroma. It has strong refraction. Can be miscible with ethanol, ether, acetone, chloroform, carbon disulfide and glacial acetic acid, very slightly soluble in water. Flammable, vapor and air can form an explosive mixture, mixture volume concentration in a low range can occur explosion. Low toxicity, median lethal dose (rat, oral) 5000mg/kg. High concentration of gas is narcotic and irritating.
Toluene is mainly prepared from crude oil by a petrochemical process. As a solvent it is used in oils, resins, natural rubber and synthetic rubber, coal tar, asphalt, cellulose acetate, as a solvent for cellulose paints and varnishes, as well as for photographic plate, ink solvent. Toluene is also the main raw material for organic synthesis, especially benzoyl chloride and phenyl, saccharin, trinitrotoluene and many dyes. It is also a component of aviation and automotive gasoline. Toluene is volatile and does not react well in the environment. It may eventually be degraded by biological and microbial oxidation because of its widespread distribution in the environment and its water-breaking recirculation between air and water by rain and evaporation from the water surface. A summary of average concentrations in the air of many cities around the world shows that toluene concentrations typically range from 112.5 to 150 μg/m3, mainly from gasoline-related emissions (vehicle exhaust, gasoline processing), as well as from solvent losses and emissions from industrial activities.
