Toluene analysis laboratory
As an industrialist you wish to carry out the analysis of the toluene present in your products
What is toluene?
Toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon derived from benzene. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with an odor similar to that of benzene.
It is generally produced by catalytic reformation (chemical operation used to valorize a fraction of oil). The method to obtain it is always simultaneously with benzene and other aromatic hydrocarbons from which it is then separated by fractionation.
Toluene is used as a solvent for paint or varnish or as an extraction solvent by the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. It is also used as a synthesis intermediate in the manufacture of products such as benzene, phenol…
