Toluene

Product Code : SCL-LC-12202

The Toluene Lab Reagent is a volatile aromatic solvent used in authorised chemistry, analytical, teaching and research laboratories for method-specific solvent work, extraction, cleaning and sample preparation. It is intended for trained laboratory users with ventilation, PPE, flammable-liquid storage, SDS access and approved waste-disposal controls.

Product Description

Toluene from Science Lab Supplies is positioned as a controlled laboratory solvent for institutional use. The supplied product name confirms toluene as the chemical identity, but pack size, assay, grade, batch number, SDS and Certificate of Analysis must be verified before final catalogue publication.

Toluene is also known as methylbenzene, methyl benzol, phenyl methane or toluol. It is an aromatic hydrocarbon with formula C₇H₈. Because it is volatile and flammable, it must be used with ventilation, ignition-source control and SDS-led handling.

Key Features

• Defined chemical identity: toluene,.
• Aromatic solvent: suitable for approved chemistry and analytical procedures.
• Pack size to confirm: bottle volume or net quantity must be verified before publishing.
• Grade to confirm: do not claim LR, AR, ACS, HPLC or spectroscopy grade without COA.
• Flammable-liquid control: store away from sparks, flames, heat and oxidising chemicals.
• Ventilation required: use in a fume hood or ventilated lab area as specified by SDS.
• Documentation required: SDS, COA, batch number, assay and regulatory classification should be confirmed.

How to Use the Toluene

1. Verify the label, CAS number, grade, purity, batch number and expiry date before use.
2. Read the current Safety Data Sheet and institutional solvent-handling procedure.
3. Use only in a fume hood or properly ventilated laboratory area.
4. Wear compatible gloves, eye protection, lab coat and SDS-specified PPE.
5. Keep away from flames, sparks, hot surfaces and oxidising chemicals.
6. Dispense only the minimum required volume using compatible glassware.
7. Close the container immediately after dispensing.
8. Collect residues as flammable organic-solvent waste.

Safety note: Toluene Lab Reagent is a flammable, volatile laboratory solvent. Avoid inhalation, ingestion, skin contact and eye contact. Do not use it for fuel, consumer cleaning, food, cosmetic, medical or unauthorised industrial applications.

Care & Maintenance

• Store tightly closed in a clearly labelled flammable-liquid storage area.
• Keep away from heat, sparks, flames, oxidisers and incompatible substances.
• Use secondary containment where required by the laboratory safety plan.
• Do not use if the bottle is leaking, unlabelled, contaminated, expired or stored outside approved controls.
