Description
Toluene (Toluol), 500mL, Reagent ACS, 99.7%Our Toluene, ACS Reagent Grade, is of a chemical grade with highest purity and meets or exceeds purity standards set by the American Chemical Society (ACS).
The 99.7% contaminant-free purity of ACS grade Toluene is mainly used in the manufacture of cosmetics.
Toluene undergoes sulfonation to give
p
-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH), which is used in organic synthesis as a strong acid catalyst. Toluene is also used in making paints, paint thinners, lacquers, glues and stain removers. Since it is less toxic, toluene has replaced benzene in most non-industrial uses.
Toluene is colorless with a sweet smell and taste. It evaporates quickly.
