Benzyl toluene, specifically mono-benzyl toluene (MDBT), is a type of aromatic hydrocarbon with the following general chemical properties:
Chemical Formula: The chemical formula for MDBT is C14H14, which consists of a benzyl group (C6H5CH2-) attached to a toluene ring.
Molecular Structure: It has a benzene ring with a methyl group (CH3) and a benzyl group as substituents.
Boiling Point: MDBT has a relatively high boiling point, typically around 270-280°C, which makes it suitable for use as an insulating fluid.
Density: The density of MDBT is approximately 0.96-0.98 g/cm3 at room temperature.
Viscosity: It has a moderate viscosity, which is suitable for its use in electrical applications.
Solubility: MDBT is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like ethers, alcohols, and other hydrocarbons.
Stability: It is chemically stable and does not readily react with other substances under normal conditions. However, it can undergo oxidation or polymerization under certain conditions, such as high temperatures or in the presence of catalysts.
Electrical Insulation: MDBT has good electrical insulating properties, which is why it is used as a dielectric fluid in capacitors and other electrical equipment.
Toxicity: MDBT is relatively non-toxic, but as with all chemicals, proper handling and safety precautions should be followed to avoid exposure.
Flammability: MDBT is flammable and should be handled with care to prevent fire hazards.
These properties make benzyl toluene suitable for a variety of industrial applications, particularly as a dielectric fluid and insulating oil in electrical equipment. Jiangxi Tianyi Special Oil Co., LTD. and other manufacturers often provide detailed specifications for their products to ensure they meet the requirements for these applications.
