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.
