Toluene (TOL) -CAS No. 108-88-3 High-Purity Industrial Solvent for Paints, Coatings, Adhesives and Cosmetics

Toluene (TOL) -CAS No. 108-88-3 High-Purity Industrial Solvent for Paints, Coatings, Adhesives and Cosmetics

Toluene (TOL) is a colorless, transparent liquid with an aromatic odor, with the chemical formula C₇H₈. It is classified as an aromatic hydrocarbon and is primarily used as an industrial solvent and chemical intermediate. Toluene has excellent solvent properties and is commonly used in the production of paints, coatings, adhesives, and cosmetics. Although relatively safe, toluene vapors have anesthetic effects, and prolonged exposure can be toxic to the central nervous system and liver. Therefore, proper protective measures should be taken when handling it. The CAS number for toluene is 108-88-3.

2. Applications:

Toluene is a fundamental organic raw material used to produce various chemical products, including benzene, xylene, benzoic acid, toluene diisocyanate, chlorinated toluenes, cresols, and p-toluenesulfonic acid. Additionally, toluene can be used as a gasoline additive to increase octane rating, and as a solvent for paints, inks, and nitrocellulose. However, due to its toxicity, its use as a solvent has decreased in industrial applications, favoring its role as a chemical raw material.

3. Usage Precautions:

Toluene is low in toxicity but highly flammable. Its vapors can form explosive mixtures with air and ignite upon contact with open flames or high heat. It reacts strongly with oxidizing agents. Rapid flow can generate and accumulate static electricity. Toluene vapor is heavier than air and can spread to distant ignition sources at lower levels, posing a fire hazard.
