What is Toluene?
Toluene is an industrial chemical used primarily as a solvent or thinner. It is also sometimes referred to as toluol. The chemical is water-insoluble liquid with very useful properties in industry, painting and art. One of its more attractive qualities is that it dries rapidly, making it ideal for several applications. SolvChem is widely regarded as a reliable blending and contract packaging company with the capabilities for customizing just the right toluene for your specific purposes.
Common Toluene Applications
Toluene is an incredibly useful chemical and has a range of applications that run the gamut. As a solvent, toluene is a fast-drying chemical perfect for thinning paints, enamels, varnishes and alkyd resins — although it does have limits due to how strong it is. It is commonly used as a thinner for specialty paints and coatings because it can be too strong for many conventional coatings. However, that same strength makes it an excellent degreaser and all-purpose cleaner.
The chemical is a common solvent for silicone sealants, many chemical reactants, rubber, printing ink, adhesives and glues, lacquers, leather tanners and disinfectants. Toluene can be used as an octane booster in gasoline fuels for internal combustion engines, and it can be used as a coolant because of its good heat-transfer capabilities in sodium cold traps used in nuclear reactor system loops. It also has multiple laboratory uses, ranging from niche biochemistry applications to serving as a solvent for carbon nanomaterials. As a leading blending and packaging company for toluene disinfectants and other products, SolvChem can help you make the right selection of toluene or paint thinner for your application.
