Frequently Asked Questions

What is Acid Wash Color testing?
Acid Wash Color (ASTM D848) is a specific test for aromatics like toluene. It detects the presence of certain impurities that darken when mixed with sulfuric acid, providing a sensitive check for purity that GC might miss.
What is the difference between Nitration and Industrial Grade?
Nitration Grade Toluene (ASTM D841) has stricter purity requirements (typically 98.5% min) and tighter boiling ranges compared to Industrial Grade (ASTM D362), making it suitable for sensitive chemical synthesis.
Do you test for benzene content in toluene?
Yes, determining benzene content is critical due to toxicity and specification limits. We use high-resolution Gas Chromatography to accurately quantify benzene impurities in toluene samples.
How fast can I get toluene purity results?
Routine analysis via our Toluene Testing Services is typically available within 24 hours. We offer expedited rush services for urgent cargo transfers and production needs.
