Laboratory Reagent Toluene Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CA-12646

Laboratory Reagent Toluene is a volatile aromatic hydrocarbon used as a solvent in controlled laboratory procedures, organic chemistry work and sample preparation. It is intended for trained laboratory personnel, technicians, teachers and supervised advanced learners who require a non-polar organic solvent for an approved experimental method.

Product Description

Laboratory Reagent Toluene, also known as methylbenzene, has the molecular formula C₇H₈. It is normally a clear, colourless liquid with a characteristic aromatic odour. Toluene is poorly soluble in water but mixes with many organic solvents, making it useful in authorised laboratory procedures involving non-polar substances.

The supplied capacity, reagent grade, purity and analytical limits must be confirmed before ordering. Users should select the product according to their validated method rather than assuming suitability for a particular analysis. Related apparatus can be reviewed in the chemistry laboratory equipment range and the broader laboratory equipment category.

Key Features

• Recognised organic solvent: Toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the formula C₇H₈.
• Suitable for controlled solvent work: It can dissolve or disperse various non-polar organic materials where an approved method specifies toluene.
• Clear liquid form: Toluene is normally supplied as a clear, colourless liquid.
• Low water solubility: Its limited miscibility with water supports selected extraction and phase-separation procedures.
• Volatile material: It evaporates readily and must be handled with effective laboratory ventilation.
• Highly flammable: The liquid and vapour must be kept away from heat, sparks, flames and ignition sources.
• Specification-based supply: Capacity, purity, grade and documentation should be confirmed in the quotation.

How to Use Laboratory Reagent Toluene

1. Read the container label, current Safety Data Sheet and experimental method.
2. Work inside a suitable fume hood or other approved ventilated enclosure.
3. Remove flames, hot surfaces, sparks and non-rated electrical ignition sources.
4. Wear suitable chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection and laboratory clothing.
5. Measure only the quantity required using clean, compatible laboratory equipment.
6. Close the original container promptly to reduce evaporation and contamination.
7. Collect residues in a labelled hazardous-solvent waste container.

Safety note: Toluene is highly flammable, and its vapour may be harmful. Avoid breathing vapour and prevent skin, eye and mouth contact. It is not suitable for unsupervised student use.

Care & Maintenance

• Store the container tightly closed in an approved flammable-liquid cabinet.
• Keep it separated from strong oxidising agents and ignition sources.
• Use compatible, clean dispensing tools and never return unused liquid to the original container.
• Inspect the container and label before use; isolate leaking or damaged packaging according to the site safety procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Laboratory Reagent Toluene used for?

It is used as an organic solvent in approved laboratory procedures, sample preparation and selected extraction methods. The method must specifically identify toluene as a suitable solvent.

What is the chemical formula of toluene?

Toluene has the chemical formula C₇H₈. It is also called methylbenzene because its structure contains a methyl group attached to a benzene ring.

Is toluene soluble in water?

Toluene is poorly soluble in water. This property can support selected phase-separation and extraction procedures.

Is Laboratory Reagent Toluene flammable?

Yes. Toluene is highly flammable, and its vapour can ignite. It must be used away from flames, sparks, heat and other ignition sources.

Can toluene be used in school laboratories?

It may be used only for an authorised experiment in a suitably equipped laboratory under qualified supervision. It should not be handled by students without direct control and appropriate safety measures.

Does the product include a Certificate of Analysis?

The availability of a Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheet should be confirmed before purchase. Required purity, reagent grade and analytical limits must be stated in the enquiry.
