Frequently Asked Questions
What is toluene used for?
Toluene is a clear aromatic solvent used in paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, printing inks, rubber processing and thinner blending. It is also a key chemical feedstock for benzene, TDI and benzoic acid. We supply it to formulators and processors across South India from our Chennai stock.
What is the CAS number and HSN code of toluene?
Toluene's CAS number is 108-88-3. For GST and customs documentation, its HSN code is 2902 30 00. Both appear on our technical data sheet (document no. SPC-TDS-ARO-001).
Is toluene the same as methylbenzene?
Yes. Methylbenzene and toluol are alternate names for the same chemical, CAS 108-88-3. If your specification calls for methylbenzene or toluol, our toluene is the same product.
