Toluene (Industrial Grade)
CAS Number: 108-88-3
Industrial-grade toluene (≥99.5%) is the most widely used aromatic solvent, offering strong solvency for a broad range of resins and polymers combined with a moderate evaporation rate. It is a key solvent in adhesives, coatings, printing inks, and a major petrochemical feedstock for benzene, xylene, and TDI production.
