Product Detail

Toluene (Methylbenzene)

CAS CODE : 108-88-3


Product Overview

Toluene (C₆H₅CH₃) is a vital basic organic chemical raw material and a highly effective solvent. This colorless, transparent liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor is widely used in the production of benzene, xylene, TDI (toluene diisocyanate), and various fine chemicals. It also serves as a key solvent component in paints, coatings, inks, and adhesives. This product is highly flammable and requires strict adherence to safety operating procedures. A corresponding Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is provided for guidance.

Major Uses

Toluene is a crucial raw material and solvent in the petrochemical and organic chemical industries.

  1. Chemical Feedstock:

    • Primary Use: Production of benzene and xylene via hydrodealkylation (HDA) or disproportionation processes.

    • Production of Toluene Diisocyanate (TDI): A key monomer for polyurethane foams, coatings, and elastomers.

    • Production of derivatives like benzoic acid, benzaldehyde, and phenol.

    • Explosives: Production of trinitrotoluene (TNT).

  2. Solvent:

    • Paints, Coatings, and Inks: A high-performance solvent for resins and as a thinner.

    • Adhesives: Common component in glues and cements.

    • Industrial Cleaner: Used for degreasing and equipment cleaning.

  3. Gasoline Additive:

    • Blended directly into gasoline as a high-octane component to improve anti-knock properties.

  4. Other:

    • Reaction medium in organic synthesis.
