Methylbenzene

Methylbenzene


Toluene is an organic compound with the chemical formula of C7H8. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with special fragrance. It has strong refraction. It is miscible with ethanol, ether, acetone, chloroform, carbon disulfide and glacial acetic acid, and very slightly soluble in water. Flammable, vapor can form explosive mixture with air, and explosion can occur when the volume concentration of the mixture is in a low range. Low toxicity, median lethal dose (rat, oral) 5000mg/kg. High concentration gas is anesthetic and irritant.

Purpose:

Toluene is widely used as solvent and gasoline additive with high octane number, and it is also an important raw material for organic chemical industry. However, compared with benzene and xylene obtained from coal and petroleum at the same time, the current output is relatively excessive, so a considerable amount of toluene is used for dealkylation to produce benzene or disproportionation to produce xylene. A series of intermediates derived from toluene, widely used in dyes; Medicine; pesticides; Propellants and explosives; auxiliary; The production of fine chemicals such as spices is also used in the synthetic material industry.

Storage:

Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Keep away from kindling and heat source. The warehouse temperature should not exceed 30 ℃. Keep container sealed. It shall be stored separately from oxidant and shall not be mixed. Explosion proof lighting and ventilation facilities shall be adopted. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are easy to generate sparks. The storage area shall be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and appropriate materials.
