Meta-Toluidine

Product Description

Meta-Toluidine (MTOL) is a colorless, oily liquid that tends to darken on storage. It is sensitive to air and/or light and the presence of either will tend to hasten discoloration. This discoloration does not affect purity and is important only where final product quality is affected by color. MTOL is non-corrosive, highly toxic and will burn if heated above the flash point.
