Description

Application
Toluene is a versatile aromatic hydrocarbon widely used in industry and laboratories. It serves as a solvent in paints coatings adhesives inks and cleaning agents and acts as an important feedstock for producing benzene xylene polymers resins synthetic fibers and dyes. Toluene is also a precursor in the manufacture of explosives such as TNT used in pharmaceutical synthesis and applied as an octane booster and fuel additive in gasoline.

Purpose
Food and beverages

General Description
Toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon consisting of a benzene ring substituted with a single methyl group. It is a clear colorless liquid with a characteristic sweet odor and is highly flammable. Toluene is immiscible with water but soluble in most organic solvents. It is widely used as an industrial feedstock and solvent in paints coatings adhesives and chemical processes.
