Aromatic solvents
Toluene, xylene and solvent naphtha are secondary components of coke benzol. These substances and their substrates are derived from crude benzol by hydrogenation refining and distillation. Toluene is one of the most commonly used organic solvents. Toluene is used as a solvent in paints and varnishes; it is also used during production of rubber products, adhesives, silicone mastics and sealants. It also finds several medical applications. As a raw material toluene is used for production of benzoic acid and toluene-diisocyanate that is the primary element of polyurethane foams.Toluene is also used to increase the octane rating of gasoline for racing engines. Xylenes and solvent naphtha find their application in solvents in paints, varnishes, adhesives and sealants.
