Toluene
Toluene is also known as toluol. It is a colorless clear aromatic hydrocarbon with the formula C7H8, it is also referred to by the name methyl benzene. Toluene occurs naturally at low levels in crude oil and is a byproduct in the production of gasoline by a catalytic reformer or ethylene cracker. It is also a byproduct of the production of coke from coal. Toluene is used across several industries for various applications. It is predominantly used as an appreciable solvent.
Application: As a solvent, toluene can be used in paints, paint thinners, adhesives, inks, resins, cleaning agents, leather tanners and inks.

Toluene is also used as a coolant in sodium cold traps underneath nuclear reactor loops.
Packing: 220 kg Drum, IBC, ISO Tank, Flexi bag.
