Toluene
Toluene (Product Code: SCI-757/332) is an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent (methylbenzene) used for organic chemistry, chromatography and solubility work in college and higher-secondary laboratories. It is listed as analytical reagent grade in a 100 ml pack, supplied with an MSDS, and gives students a clear example of a non-polar liquid that floats on water. Toluene is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for chemistry lab equipment buyers in India who want reagents and apparatus from one source.

What Is Toluene Used For?
Toluene dissolves many organic compounds, resins and polymers, so teachers use it as a reaction and recrystallisation solvent and as a component of mobile phases for thin-layer chromatography. It is also a convenient liquid for comparing densities and polarities: poured onto water it forms a clear upper layer, the opposite of chlorinated solvents that sink.
As a teacher demonstration, a few drops burned in a porcelain dish inside a fume cupboard give the smoky, sooty flame typical of aromatic compounds, a useful contrast with alcohols. Toluene is highly flammable and its vapour is harmful, so keep it well away from flames and hot plates, measure only what the experiment needs, and work with gloves, goggles and good ventilation.
