Key Features
- Aromatic hydrocarbon, formula C7H8, also called methylbenzene
- Clear, colourless liquid with a characteristic aromatic odour
- Dissolves or disperses many non-polar organic materials
- Poorly soluble in water, useful in phase-separation work
- Highly flammable and volatile, so used with effective ventilation

About This Product
Toluene is chosen when an approved method calls for a non-polar organic solvent, for example in liquid-liquid extraction or sample preparation. Work takes place in a fume hood with flames, hot surfaces and sparks removed, wearing chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Only the quantity needed is measured, the container is closed promptly to limit evaporation, and residues go into a labelled hazardous-solvent waste container. The Laboratory Reagent Toluene is available for supply within India and for export to Armenia, Djibouti, Liberia, Afghanistan, Guyana and Malaysia.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Does toluene mix with water?
No. It is poorly soluble in water but mixes with many organic solvents, which is why it suits selected extraction and phase-separation procedures.
