A hydrocarbon, C6H5.CH3, of the aromatic series, homologous with benzene, and obtained as a light mobile colorless liquid, by distilling tolu balsam, coal tar, etc.; -- called also methyl benzene, phenyl methane, etc.
Colorless liquid of the aromatic group of petroleum hydrocarbons, made by the catalytic reforming of petroleum naphthas containing methyl cyclohexane. A high-octane gasoline-blending agent, solvent, and chemical intermediate, and a base for TNT (explosive).
a toxic solvent used in nail polish, it is slowly being taken off the market because it can cause liver damage and may also cause cancer.
Common solvent that is sometimes used in nail polish.
A light colorless liquid solvent found in many commonly abused inhalants, including airplane glue, paint sprays, and paint and nail polish removers.
CH3C6H5, a liquid solvent obtained from coal tar or petroleum with a variety of industrial and fuel uses.
An aromatic ring solvent, similar in structure to benzene, though not a carcinogen. Stronger central nervous system depressant than benzene. Commonly used in adhesives, paint removers, paints, marker pens. Highly flammable.*Eye and skin irritant. Can cause cardiac sensitization. Neurotoxic. Reproductive effects. Used in some spot removers and art products.
Used as a solvent for polyurethanes. Very flammable.
a key petrochemical and an organic solvent; along with xylene, a key component in unleaded gasoline.
Methylbenzene. An aromatic compound having the formula C6H5CH3. A major component of gasoline. Toluene has a flash point of 40°F and explosive limits of 1.2% to 7%.
Volatile, flammableliquid with strong chemical odor. Eye, skin and respiratory irritant. Central nervous system depressant. Cardiac sensitizer. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause liver, kidney damage or anemia. Exposure during pregnancy may result in birth defects. Uses: Solvent in a variety of products such as graffiti remover, floor polish, furniture polish, laundry starch preparations, household hard surface cleaners.
a colorless flammable liquid obtained from petroleum or coal tar; used as a solvent for gums and lacquers and in high-octane fuels
A compound in glues, cements, and other adhesive products. Inhalation of these products results in behavioral and neurological impairments” ( Levinthal, 264).
Basic aromatic compound derived from petroleum and used to increase octane. The most common hydrocarbon purchased for use in increasing octane.
Gasoline blenders and petrochemicals makers continually compete for possession of this aromatic. Its high octane and low vapor pressure make it an excellent blendstock. The chance to turn it into benzene appeals to the chemical industry. Refineries and steam crackers both produce it in large quantities.
a common chemical compound found in paints, thinner, cleaning solvents and petroleum products that, if inhaled, can be retained in the membranes of the throat and lungs for up to three weeks. Toluene is detected by any infrared breath machine as alcohol, falsely raising blood-alcohol levels.
Lacquer diluent made normally by coal tar distillation; also called Toluol.
Toluene, a colourless liquid, is an aromatic hydrocarbon used extensively as starting material for the manufacture of industrial chemicals. Its major end-products are polyurethanes. Uu
An aromatic solvent with a high boiling range and low flash point classified as a strong solvent.
A liquid aromatic hydrocarbon that resembles benzene but is less volatile, flammable and toxic and is used as a solvent in organic synthesis.
An organic chemical that can enter the water system as a discharge from petroleum factories. Exposure to high levels can cause nervous system, kidney or liver problems.
Sometimes called toluol. A solvent, like xylene, that softens glue enough so it can be scrubbed off with a coarse cloth or soft-bristle brush.
A chemical solvent contained in deseal/reseal formulations
At room temperature, toluene is a colorless, sweet smelling, volatile liquid. Toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon commonly used as an industrial solvent for the manufacturing of paints, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and rubber.
One of the aromatic hydrocarbons, produced from crude oil via fractional distillation and catalytic reforming. When separated from the mixed aromatic stream, toluene is used to produce benzene via dealkylation, as a high-octane blending stock for gasoline, as a feedstock for the manufacture of chemicals (including benzoic acid) or as a solvent.
Liquid substance, used as solvent in different industries such as paints, thinner, lacquer, glue, polishing oil, varnish, insecticide or pesticide
Toluene, also known as methylbenzene or phenylmethane is a clear, water-insoluble liquid with the typical smell of paint thinners, redolent of the sweet smell of the related compound benzene. It is an aromatic hydrocarbon that is widely used as an industrial feedstock and as a solvent.
