U.S. Toluene Prices, News, Trend, Graph, Chart, Monitor and Forecast

Toluene prices in the global market have shown significant fluctuations due to various influencing factors, including crude oil trends, supply-demand dynamics, and geopolitical tensions. As an essential petrochemical derived from crude oil, toluene is widely used in industries such as paints, coatings, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, and fuel additives. The pricing trend of toluene is directly linked to crude oil price volatility, as any changes in the oil market impact the cost of raw materials used in toluene production. Additionally, supply chain disruptions, refinery maintenance, and regulatory policies further contribute to market variations. The toluene market has also been affected by shifting production capacities in key manufacturing hubs, especially in regions like North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, where refinery output and trade activities influence price trends.

In recent years, the toluene market has been witnessing price fluctuations due to global economic conditions, inflationary pressures, and energy crises. The COVID-19 pandemic initially led to a decline in industrial activity, resulting in a slump in demand for toluene and its derivatives. However, as industries gradually recovered, the demand rebounded, creating a surge in prices due to supply constraints and increased freight costs. The post-pandemic economic recovery, along with rising industrial production, led to a boost in toluene consumption across multiple sectors. Moreover, government policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions have affected refining and petrochemical operations, further contributing to price instability. The transition towards greener alternatives and bio-based solvents has also led to some shifts in market demand, impacting traditional toluene consumption patterns.

China, being a key producer and consumer, has a significant influence on pricing trends. The country’s industrial policies, trade restrictions, and environmental regulations impact production levels and export-import activities. Additionally, any disruptions in China’s refinery operations, whether due to maintenance shutdowns or government-imposed limitations, can have a ripple effect on global toluene prices. India has also experienced rising toluene demand, particularly in the paint and coatings industry, which has driven price volatility in the domestic market.

North America has seen a mixed pricing trend for toluene, influenced by regional crude oil production, refinery operations, and trade relations. The United States, being a major producer and exporter of petrochemicals, plays a crucial role in determining global toluene prices. The shale oil boom has provided a steady supply of feedstock for petrochemical industries, helping stabilize prices to some extent. However, factors such as extreme weather conditions, refinery shutdowns, and logistical challenges have occasionally disrupted supply chains, leading to short-term price hikes. The demand for toluene in North America remains strong, particularly in the automotive and pharmaceutical industries, further contributing to price movements.

In Europe, toluene pricing has been impacted by regulatory frameworks, crude oil price trends, and energy costs. The region’s strict environmental policies and carbon reduction targets have led to refinery modifications and investment in cleaner technologies, affecting toluene supply dynamics. The European toluene market has also been influenced by geopolitical tensions, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which has disrupted energy supplies and driven up raw material costs. Additionally, inflationary pressures and currency fluctuations have contributed to the volatility in toluene prices across European markets. The demand from industries such as paints, coatings, and adhesives remains stable, but evolving regulations and sustainability initiatives continue to shape market trends.

The Middle East and Africa region plays a significant role in global toluene pricing due to its abundant crude oil reserves and refinery operations. Countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE are key players in the petrochemical sector, influencing regional price trends. The Middle East’s strategic position as an exporter of toluene and its derivatives affects global trade flows, particularly in Asia and Europe. The region's pricing dynamics are also impacted by crude oil production policies set by OPEC, as any changes in oil output directly influence petrochemical feedstock prices. Additionally, infrastructure developments and industrial expansion in emerging economies within Africa are gradually increasing the demand for toluene, contributing to regional price shifts.

Toluene prices are also subject to seasonal variations, with demand fluctuating based on industrial cycles and weather conditions. For instance, the construction and automotive industries see higher demand during warmer months, leading to increased consumption of toluene-based products like paints and coatings. Conversely, the winter season often results in lower demand, impacting pricing trends. Furthermore, supply chain disruptions, including port congestions, transportation costs, and global shipping constraints, continue to affect the availability and pricing of toluene in different markets. The ongoing shift towards sustainability and the increasing adoption of bio-based alternatives may also influence the long-term pricing outlook for toluene.

The future outlook for toluene prices depends on multiple factors, including global economic recovery, energy policies, and advancements in refining technologies. As the world moves towards reducing reliance on fossil fuels, investments in alternative feedstocks and greener solvents could alter market dynamics. Additionally, trade policies and geopolitical developments will play a crucial role in shaping supply chains and pricing trends. The chemical industry’s focus on circular economy principles and sustainable practices may lead to innovations that impact toluene production and consumption. Overall, while short-term price fluctuations are expected due to external economic pressures and supply chain challenges, the long-term market trajectory will be influenced by industry adaptation to changing regulatory and environmental landscapes.

happy fedoraless friday, my fellas

[dear-ao3]

bucket of facts here. This is one of my favorite f1 things ever, apologies for how long it ended up being:

In the 1980’s, formula one teams, notably BMW, added toluene to their fuel mixtures. If that word sounds like it’s probably dangerous, that’s because it is — most people know it as rocket fuel. It’s extremely poisonous and carcinogenic, but did have some upsides! For one, it was less volatile [citation needed] than what they had been using, making is slightly less dangerous in the event of a crash (by 1970’s-80’s F1 standards that just means in only turned into a small bomb most of the time). It was also denser and burned faster, so the same amount of toluene could give much more power than the standard F1 fuel.

While the new fuel did allow them to run higher turbo pressures, it did it have a tendency to increase turbo pressure as it was run during the race, and everyone ran turbos at this time. They had to dial back the turbo pressure from what it’s max could’ve been, just to compensate for the power of the fuel — this mitigated the admittedly high likelihood that the engine decided to submit its two weeks notice on two seconds of warning (read: it caught on fire and sometimes kinda maybe sorta just exploded).

Modern f1 fuel has an RON octane rating of 95-102. The toluene aided fuel had an RON octane rating of 120+. For context, your car probably runs on about 87 RON. For those unfamiliar, RON octane ratings measure how much compression fuel can be put under before it sparks, which is how engines work: compress fuel, spark, make power (I can explain that better if you want but short version is that). This incredibly high octane level allowed the engines of the time to be run at a much higher compression, which had a myriad of bonuses to the cars.

Current F1 regulations are 1.6 litre V6 engines that rev to 15,000 RPMs (max allowed) and produce a max of 850 BHP (horsepower) when they’re pushing the edge of their abilities without aid of electric components like H/KERS, which is used to boost the cars to around 1,000 BHP.

Brabham-BMW’s 1983 engine took Nelson Pique to his WDC that year. It was a 1.5 litre inline 4 (so smaller than current) and produced 12,000 RPMs, as the restrictions were a bit tighter there back then. Without electronic aid like today and a smaller engine than your standard Toyota Camry, it easily produced 850 BHP at race trim, the version built to last a whole race. When in qualifying trim, with everything tuned to maximum to get the most out of the car without it blowing up, it ran at 1,250 BHP. Original testing put it at producing over 1,400 BHP, but BMWs testing facilities couldn’t measure past that — the car put out more power than they could even register.

The teams also had a sneaky loophole: the amount of fuel allowed to be held at once in the car (refueling was banned at this time) was effectively limited to how large the gas tank could be. The teams realized that they could literally freeze the fuel and store it at cold temperatures. This compacted the fuel, allowing them to put more fuel into the gas tank — more fuel per fuel, really. This allowed drivers to be more aggressive and push harder more often, not having to worry about running out of fuel.

In case this whole toluene thing seems bad, don’t worry! It’s only used in nail polish, rubber, adhesives, and paints :3

hit me up for more facts if you want

oh my

anon bestie i might in fact be in love with you

[verysium]

blue lock boys as assassins (au i guess?), i hope you could include Oli, Yuki and Barou!

anon you have me at crossroads because the very idea of an assassin AU spawns an infinite glitch of possibilities....🤔 like mafia underground syndicate assassin? or like solitary mysterious hitman type of assassin? or even better could this be ninja/shinobi stealth warrior assassin? i'm going give a general description though:

oliver is the laid-back good guy. escorts you to the bar, drinks on him. claps every passerby on the back as if he personally knows them. you think he's alright. not too handsome and just the right amount of ruggedness. he offers you a good time, so you two hit off for the night. and that's where everything starts to go downhill. one shoot-out, intense knife fight, and grueling police chase later, you pant for dear life against the side of a brick wall in some torn up alley because it turns out your one-night stand was actually an assassin for japan's largest underground syndicate.

you grip your broken heel tightly in one hand, body collapsed against the brick cornerstone as you seethe, the condensation of your gasping breath forming tendrils in the cold night. you reach up a hand to wipe the sweat off your face. it comes back red, the meticulous hours of applying your makeup wasted when you see the damning smears of lipstick. this was not the type of fun you signed up for on a friday night.

"oliver, what the fuck was that?"

he laughs sheepishly, cocking his gun back with ease before he lights up a cigarette, palm cupping the flame. he turns, then walks over two bodies without blinking, suede shoes clicking against the cobblestone. you're angry at him, but he doesn't care, wrapping an arm around your waist, nose buried in your hair.

"just a side hustle, sweetheart. come on, let's get you home."

yukimiya is the sweet, unassuming literature student. he came home from university to help his grandmother out over the summer, manning the front counter of her antique oddities shop. you like him. he's awkwardly charming, a little too zealous for the job, but still endearingly kooky. you have him pinned down as the sad poet type. the kind of person who wears the same knitted cardigan every day, complete with horn-rimmed glasses and 1940's gingham elbow patches. he can handwrite a sonnet in less than a minute, gift-wrap your purchases in record time. you let him buzz around you while you make your daily visit to his shop, listening to him talk about the collections of radioactive glassware, the vintage phonograph in the corner, and the rare edition of Gutenberg bibles sitting silently in the old book section.

"you know, you really don't have to do that."

he peers up at you owlishly, dark brow furrowed before you point out the spool of twine in his hand, the way he's carefully folding the newspaper around the edges of the new vase you purchased. he laughs, shrugging off your concerns with a wave. you catch a brief whiff of his cologne, the subtle scent of mint and toluene. maybe a hint of vanillin too.

"don't worry about it miss! gift-wrapping is a free service. i'll even add two complimentary trinkets if you'd like. we have a clearance section that's been slow to sell. you could even take a few for free."

"i'm alright. thanks for the offer though." he nods, fingers delicately tying a bow before he places your vase in a bag, fluffing up the tissue paper on top. you smile to yourself when you see the intricate lettering of the card he snuck in. must've been another one of the love poems he wrote. you know how the saying goes.

roses are red. violets are blue.

by the time you step out the shop, the door chime twinkles in the distance, a peal of bells to signal your departure. from behind the windows and glass paneling, he watches your figure trail down the sidewalk, winter coat fluttering in the wind. his eyes darken beneath the tortoiseshell frame, finger moving down the yellowed pages of his accounting book before crossing off another name. he doesn't even look up when he hears the loud honking and screams, the sound of a body hitting the pavement.

one is dead, and so are you.

barou is probably the most obvious one. very upfront about the work he does. the only caveat is that you can never trace his work back to him. he cleans up way too well. always shoots his targets through the eye because it's less of a mess that way. leaves absolutely no evidence at the murder scene. i picture you as one of the unfortunate victims caught up in the fray. collateral damage, as he likes to call it.

"you know, i've never met someone so equally stubborn and stupid."

you glare at him, throat sore and aching as you scream through your gag, cursing him out in every language in existence. he merely stares down at you, arms crossed and eyebrow arched in amusement. you struggle for a good minute, flopping around like a fish as you try to free yourself from your bonds. how the hell do you go from taking an errand trip to the grocery store to getting kidnapped and tied up in a man's trunk?

"what's that? couldn't hear you from all the noise."

god, you want to strangle him. you heave a breath, swallowing the bitter taste of your own spit when he finally unties the gag, your lungs gasping for air.

"i said...you think i'm the stupid one? you're the one who tied me up!"

"because you wouldn't stop squealing like a pig."

"you were trying to kill me!" he snorts derisively at your comment, his red eyes piercing and haughty. the loud thump of the trunk door closing reverberates throughout the parking garage before you find yourself face first on the pavement, body dumped unceremoniously on the ground. he looks down at you dismissively, wiping the dust off his hands.

"nah, i'd save myself the hassle."

your eyebrow twitches in irritation, jaw dropping at that violation. oh, it was personal now. he deserved capital punishment. strangling would be too merciful. you try to get back on your feet, a task that proves all the more difficult with your legs bound and arms twisted behind your back. he merely waits, as if knowing when you'd finally give up, sinking at his feet in defeat.

"you done?" you nod your head, slumping down into the concrete. your voice becomes small and sheepish by the time you raise your face to look at him.

"can't you just...let me go? i promise i won't say anything." he rolls his eyes, swinging you over his shoulder in one fell swoop, locking the car with a resounding beep. you start to panic when you feel him carrying you to the garage exit, vision swirling with nothing but concrete and the solid sound of his combat boots.

"wait....wait! i swear to god! please just let me go. i won't tell a soul."

"nope. can't have any witnesses." you feel a handkerchief come up at engulf your nose and mouth, the sweet smell cloying and sharp. you start to squirm in his arms.

"wait! no...please! if you touch me again, i'll scream." his grin is the last thing you see in the darkness, sharp canines brushing against the shell of your ear.

"oh, you'll do so much more than scream, darling."

New technology for customized air purification of toxic gases

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in daily products such as paints, adhesives, furniture, cosmetics, and deodorants make our lives easier. However, constant exposure can cause serious health problems such as respiratory illness, headaches, dermatitis, and cancer. Natural ventilation is the most effective way to reduce VOCs in indoor air, but recently, air purifiers have become a common method to maintain indoor air quality due to the frequent extreme outdoor condition (e.g., high concentration of fine dust, heat waves, and extreme cold). Generally, air purifiers remove VOCs by adsorption using activated carbon, which has a non-polar carbon surface and a large specific surface area. This activated carbon can effectively remove non-polar substances such as toluene and benzene, but cannot remove polar substances such as ketones and aldehydes.

So, with Hawking's Big Bounce Theory... it offers a cyclic spacetime where every Big Crunch falls into singularity of a new Big Bang, forming an endless loop...

Edit: this would, by the way, explain the paradox of nothing escapes the black hole × conservation of energy law - sucked energy turns into mass of the new big bang.

Edit 2: I asked local biggest astrophysicist who confirmed that these conclusions are not ramblings of a toluen-overdosed junkie, but actual astrophysicist consensus nowadays.

[brainyrot]

I looked up what ink and paper smells like funny enough my inks and papers actually smell like these. I just copied from the web because I don’t feel like typing.

“The scent of fresh ink on paper is a unique and recognizable smell that is often associated with new beginnings, clean and fresh pages, and a sense of excitement and possibility. To someone who has never smelled fresh ink before, it might be described as a combination of sharp, slightly chemical, clean, pungent, and papery scents that combine to create a fresh and distinctive odor”

“The decomposition of paper can produce such compounds as toluene, which can smell sweet or pungent. Hexanal, also from the disintegration of cellulose and lignin in paper, can give books an earthy, musty, “old room” smell, which could be exacerbated by mold from environmental exposure hints of vanilla (vanillin), almond (benzaldehyde) or musky florals (ethyls, tolulene, and hexanol)”

“unique, earthy smell associated with rain”

So it would appear that this is what BATIM Bendy would smell like.

So basically he smells heavenly (I like smelling the ink from pens)

Okay y'all, I was being lazy before, but I had a scare where I had to back up my entire hard drive, including my Vocal Synth albums. TT But the good news is, now that the time-consuming part (uploading to MEGA) is done, I should be posting these much quicker! So, without further ado, this is the second one I'll share:

This is Bonus ＼(^o^)／ by Garuna (aka Owata P)! This album has a lot of the Owata P classics that I love: Paradichlorobenzene, Antichlorobenzene, Toluene, Rin-chan Now!, Gocha Gocha Urusee! (Stop Nagging Me!) and Kataomoi Samba (One-Sided Love Samba)! If you love them too, then here's a high-quality download for you! :3

All songs were extracted from the CD in FLAC format, so that they're the best possible quality without being too large! I tag songs like this: Japanese Name (Romaji name or English translation). The artist is the synthesizer (or synthesizers) credited for the vocals, while the album artist is the producer whose album it is. In the composer field, I put anyone who was involved in creating the song, regardless of who did what. If they mastered the song, they're there. If they manipulated the synthesizer's voice for the song, they're there. If they wrote the lyrics for the song, they're there. If the link doesn't work, shoot me a message to let me know. Otherwise, enjoy! ^^

Toluene Prices Trend | Pricing | News | Database | Chart

 The global toluene market, a crucial segment of the petrochemical industry, has experienced significant fluctuations in pricing driven by various economic, environmental, and geopolitical factors. Toluene, an aromatic hydrocarbon, plays a pivotal role as a solvent and as a precursor in the production of various chemicals, including benzene and xylene. Understanding the pricing trends of toluene involves examining the factors that influence supply and demand, as well as shifts in production and consumption patterns worldwide. Over the past several years, toluene prices have been subject to shifts due to changes in crude oil prices, production capacity adjustments, trade policies, and emerging environmental regulations.

One of the most significant drivers of toluene price movements is the fluctuation in crude oil prices. Toluene is produced as a byproduct in the refining of crude oil, and its price is often closely tied to the cost of raw materials. When crude oil prices rise, production costs for toluene also increase, resulting in higher market prices. Conversely, when oil prices drop, toluene prices typically follow suit. Recent years have witnessed considerable volatility in the global oil market due to geopolitical tensions, such as conflicts in the Middle East, and economic factors like the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, the oil industry saw a drastic dip in demand, which subsequently affected the production and pricing of toluene.

The supply side of the toluene market has been affected by changes in refinery operations and production capacities. In regions like North America, Europe, and Asia, varying levels of refinery activity have influenced the availability of toluene. For instance, a shift toward cleaner fuel production has led refineries to adjust their output, impacting the amount of toluene produced. Additionally, incidents such as refinery shutdowns for maintenance, technical failures, or natural disasters like hurricanes have periodically disrupted the supply chain, pushing prices higher. These disruptions are compounded by increased competition for toluene in regions where demand for petrochemical products is rising rapidly, particularly in developing markets.

Demand for toluene comes from various industries, including automotive, construction, pharmaceuticals, and textiles. The use of toluene as a solvent in paints, coatings, adhesives, and varnishes makes it essential for the construction and home improvement sectors. Similarly, the automotive industry—which relies on toluene for fuel additives and as a component in gasoline blending—can significantly impact price trends. Growth in these sectors boosts demand for toluene, driving up prices. 

Trade dynamics play an essential role in shaping the global toluene market. Export and import policies, as well as international trade agreements, impact the flow of toluene between regions. The Asian market, particularly China, has been a key player in driving global toluene demand. China's rapid industrial growth and its need for feedstock to manufacture petrochemicals have made it a dominant force in the market. Trade tensions, such as those seen between China and the United States, can lead to shifts in the toluene trade balance, creating price volatility. Moreover, tariffs and import restrictions can lead to supply bottlenecks, further stressing prices.

Environmental regulations and policies are increasingly influencing the toluene market. Many countries are implementing stricter emissions standards, pushing industries to adopt cleaner technologies and reduce the use of certain petrochemical products. This shift affects the demand for toluene, particularly as industries seek alternatives that meet environmental guidelines. The global movement toward sustainability has also spurred investments in developing more environmentally friendly methods for chemical production. These investments can shift production capacity, impacting the supply and market dynamics of toluene. For example, refineries in regions that have stringent environmental rules may reduce toluene output or adopt practices that result in lower yields, thereby influencing market prices.

In terms of pricing trends, the toluene market has seen periods of both stability and volatility. Following the initial economic disruptions caused by the pandemic, toluene prices began to recover as demand picked up, supported by the gradual return of industrial activities and consumer confidence. The rise in crude oil prices from late 2021 into 2022 led to increased production costs for toluene, reinforcing price increases. However, while higher oil prices provided support, concerns over a potential global recession and supply chain disruptions due to geopolitical issues, such as the war in Ukraine, introduced uncertainties that could affect market stability.

Looking ahead, the toluene market is expected to continue navigating a complex landscape influenced by a blend of economic recovery, environmental mandates, and supply chain adjustments. Technological advancements in chemical production and shifts toward alternative feedstocks may also reshape the market over the long term. The continued evolution of the global energy landscape, with increased investment in renewable energy sources and cleaner chemical manufacturing processes, will likely play a significant role in determining future pricing and market strategies. Buyers and suppliers alike must remain vigilant, tracking changes in crude oil prices, regional trade policies, and shifts in environmental standards to anticipate how these factors may impact toluene prices.

In summary, the toluene market remains multifaceted, with pricing shaped by a mix of global economic trends, crude oil price fluctuations, geopolitical developments, and environmental regulations. The interplay of these factors contributes to a dynamic pricing environment that requires stakeholders to stay informed and adaptable. As industries across the globe strive to align with sustainability targets and navigate geopolitical uncertainties, the future of toluene pricing will be closely linked to broader market and policy shifts. Understanding these key influences will be essential for market participants to effectively plan and respond to price movements.

Brazil reinstates tax break for chemicals, incentivises natgas-based fertilizers plants
