Product Code : SCL-LC-12202
Toluene (SKU SCL-LC-12202), also known as methylbenzene or toluol, is a volatile, flammable aromatic solvent for extraction, dilution, sample preparation and organic chemistry methods. It suits college, university, analytical and research laboratories that have fume hoods and flammable-liquid storage, with trained users in charge. Science Lab Supplies arranges quotations and dispatch of this solvent from Ambala, India, for colleges, research institutes, chemical stockrooms, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The toluene table gives one row each to its names, formula, physical data, hazards, storage and waste route. In short, it is an aromatic hydrocarbon liquid, C7H8 or C6H5CH3, of about 92.14 g/mol, which evaporates readily and is flammable; grade, assay and bottle volume are printed on the label with the batch number and stated on your quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Toluene
Toluene can serve extraction, washing and dilution steps and sample preparation wherever an approved method names it, and it can clean compatible laboratory items only where the method permits. In teaching it illustrates substituted aromatic hydrocarbons, handled by trained users in a ventilated room.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: aromatic hydrocarbons and benzene derivatives, as a teacher-handled sample.
- B.Sc. organic chemistry: solvent for extraction and washing steps in a Separating Funnel Pear shape, available from 50 to 2000 ml.
- Analytical sample preparation and dilution where the method specifies toluene.
- Research solvent work in university and institute laboratories, with disposable Gloves - Protective that guard against organic liquids.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each supply contains the toluene container in the volume quoted, labelled with batch, grade, purity and hazard information, together with the Safety Data Sheet and outer packaging with a tamper seal and export documents. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can be raised for one bottle or for a full solvent-store order, showing packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested. As a flammable liquid, toluene has transport restrictions, and the quotation confirms how it will be packed and sent.
The Importer-Exporter Code held by Science Lab Supplies means it can ship to buyers in South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia and Peru. Write the bottle volume and grade you need on the contact page, or combine toluene with other solvents in the enquiry cart; procurement by tender is outlined on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is toluene flammable?
Yes. It is a flammable, volatile solvent. Use it in a fume hood or well-ventilated area, away from heat, sparks, flames and oxidisers, and collect residues as flammable organic-solvent waste.
Can toluene be used in schools?
Only school or college laboratories with trained supervision, ventilation, gloves and eye protection, flammable-liquid storage and current Safety Data Sheet access should handle it. It is not for unsupervised student use.
Who supplies the Toluene?
A quotation for this aromatic solvent comes from Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India located in Ambala, and it states grade, volume and batch for each college or distributor.
How does toluene differ from benzene?
Toluene is methylbenzene, C7H8: a benzene ring carrying one methyl group. Benzene, C6H6, is a separate restricted reagent with a carcinogenic hazard, meant only for authorised research and analytical labs.
