Use as Solvent. Toluene is more important as a solvent than either benzene or xylene. Solvent use accounts for ca 14% of the total U.S. toluene demand for chemicals. About two-thirds of the solvent use is in paints and coatings the remainder is in adhesives, inks, pharmaceuticals, and other formulated products utilizing a solvent carrier. Use of toluene as solvent in surface coatings has been declining, primarily because of various environmental and health regulations. It is being replaced by other solvents, such as esters and ketones, and by changing the product formulation to use either fully soHd systems or water-based emulsion systems. 

Toners derived from 6-chlorometanilic acid [88-43-7] 6-amiao-4-chloro-y -toluene-sulfonic acid [88-51-7] and 6-arriino-y -toluenesulfonic acid [88-44-8] have improved fastness properties and find use in paints, inks, and plastics. 

The main uses of toluene are as a solvent in paints, rubber, and plastic cements and as a feedstock in the manufacture of organic chemicals, explosives, detergents, and polyurethane foams. Xylenes (which exist as three isomers) are used in the manufacture of DMT, alkyd resins, and plasticizers. Naphthalene is mainly used in the manufacture of dyes, pharmaceuticals, insect repellents, and phthalic anhydride (used in the manufacture of alkyd resins, plasticizers, and polyester).

Figure 11 shows the ATR-FTIR spectrum acquired from the surface of the white-colored paint sample after the paint had been dried. Figure 12 shows the closest spectral library database matches obtained Figure 13 compares the spectrum of the surface of the white-colored paint sample with that of a reference library spectrum of a vinyl toluene-modified alkyd. The binder from the dried...

As shown in Table 8, the spray paint solvent is predominately a mixture of several linear aliphatic, branched aliphatic, and cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons, and toluene, xylenes, and ethyl benzene. 2-Butanone (also known as methyl ethyl ketone) was also detected. The breakdown of the solvent mixture by class of compound (aromatic, //-alkane, iso-alkane, cyclic alkane, and others) is shown in Table 9. The solvent appears to be consistent with a mixture of a VM P naphtha... 

The FTIR spectrum for the dried paint resin does have a reasonable match score to and feature bands characteristic of an alkyd resin [5]. Due to the presence of fillers though, the spectral analysis did not allow for a high-quality match to be obtained. Removal of the fillers and subsequent FTIR analysis would provide the best spectroscopic result for the identification of the alkyd type and provide a better comparison to such as the reference vinyl toluene-modified alkyd. 

The solvents encompass 36.7 wt% of the paint sample. The solvent appears to be consistent with a mixture of a VM P naphtha with toluene. Toluene is the major constituent.

P.Y.182, which has been available for some years, provides somewhat reddish shades of yellow and is tinctorially strong. It is sensitive to a variety of organic solvents, especially to ketones such as methylethylketone and cyclohexanone, as well as to aromatic solvents such as toluene or xylene. In this respect, the pigment equals step 2 on the 5-step scale (Sec. 1.6.2.1). P.Y.182 is targeted for the paint and the plastics industry.

PEN is a good candidate for labels where temperature tolerance is required, such as multi-layer labels for automobile bodies when being painted and dried at high temperatures. PEN is ideally suited for bar code labels where dimensional stability and registration are required at elevated temperatures. PEN labels have dimensional-excellence performance on printed circuit boards, in solvent- and aqueous-based painting operations, and in under-the-hood applications. PEN labels also provide substantially improved performance over PET or vinyl labels when the label must survive in harsh chemical environments. PEN performs extremely well in applications where the label must be in contact with organic solvents, such as acetone, ethers, toluene and phenol, as well as strong bases (30 % NaOH) and moderate acids. 

In mice skin-painting studies, skin tumors were produced by steam-refined petroleum bitumens, an air-refined bitumen in toluene, two cracking residue bimmens, and a pooled mixmre of steam- and air-blown petroleum bitumens. In contrast, standard roofing petroleum asphalts produced no tumors.
