Acetone Fumes: Acetone, also known as propanone and dimethyl ketone, is the simplest example of ketone compounds and is also a very important building block in organic chemistry. It is produced and disposed of naturally in the body as a result of normal metabolic processes. The majority of acetone is produced from propylene in a… Learn More

Toluene Fumes: Toluene, also known as methyl benzene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon that occurs naturally at low levels in crude oil and which is also produced as a byproduct in fuel production. Its electrophilic properties make it a useful feedstock in industrial processes such as the production of TNT and polyurethanes. It is also used… Learn More

Xylene Fumes: Xylene is a name given to any one of three aromatic hydrocarbon isomers produced from crude oil. Each of the isomers is similar in its properties. There are many applications in which the use of these xylene isomers is necessary including uses such as a solvent in the leather, rubber, and printing industries…. Learn More
