Overview
Toluene is a strong aromatic solvent that dissolves alkyd, vinyl and rubber-based resins that milder solvents struggle with. Its moderate evaporation rate gives coatings and adhesives time to level before they set.
Our toluene meets a minimum purity of 99.5% with low sulphur and benzene content. Because it is highly flammable and harmful if inhaled, we supply it with a full Safety Data Sheet and can advise on ventilation and exposure controls for your site.
